Káyana Solutions, Inc. (Kayana) is embarking on a groundbreaking transformation for the businesses led by Chairman and CEO Manuel V. Pangilinan. In addition to recently launching a partnership with Accenture to build a “digital factory”, it also invested in Bayad and Multipay to revolutionize payments for its customers.
It all started when Chairman MVP first introduced the idea of a “DigiCo”—an entity that could harness the data resources from Pangilinan-led businesses and achieve “escape velocity.”
“From the get-go, Káyana saw the opportunity to reshape ways of working and foster a new culture—one that’s agile and unafraid of failure. And Kayana did stumble in those early months. It changed direction more than once, and each time, it moved Káyana to a better place. Káyana is also benefitting from its leadership team which is a dynamic mix of young and old, with a common belief that technology serves as a powerful equalizer,” said Kayana President Ricky P. Vargas.
So, almost a year after it began, Káyana has established itself as a customer engagement company delivering data-driven digital experiences powered by synergies across the MVP Group of companies.
The digital factory with Accenture will help accelerate digital product development for the MVP Group. In response to the Chairman’s challenge, Káyana is also spearheading a collaboration among all Chief Information Officers to ensure that the MVP Group is able to responsibly leverage data to address the nation’s most pressing needs.
But Káyana is more than just a company. It is a movement for Filipino empowerment. Its name, drawn from the Filipino words “kaya” and “na,” reflects its belief in the strength and potential of every Filipino.
Káyana’s purpose is clear: to transform data into possibilities that enhance Filipino lives. With the belief that when harnessed effectively, data can unlock opportunities and drive progress in ways never imagined before. Data is the game-changer that enables digital experiences, delivering the personalized service every Filipino deserves, and create a Philippines where every Filipino can proudly say “Kaya na.”
