Kellton, an AI-led digital transformation and technology consulting company, has received the Emerging Excellence Award from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) at its 5th IDIQ Vendor Summit.

The award recognises Kellton’s performance and expanding role as a technology partner for ADB’s Information Technology Department under the Bank’s Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) framework. The company expects to scale the partnership into a $5 million strategic account.

Kellton’s recognition comes amid the rapid expansion of its engagement with ADB during 2025–26. The company leveraged its Centres of Excellence in AI, data and product engineering to deploy specialised technology talent aligned with ADB’s technical and institutional requirements.

The company was also recognised as one of the fastest-growing vendors under ADB’s IDIQ framework. Kellton continues to provide specialist technology capabilities to ADB’s Information Technology Department in line with the Bank’s evolving digital and technology priorities.

Karanjit Singh, CEO – APAC, Kellton, said the ADB engagement marks the company’s first partnership with a premier multilateral development agency, where technology delivery involves stringent governance, procurement and institutional standards. He added that the recognition validates Kellton’s ability to operate in complex, high-trust environments and strengthens its ambition to become a long-term technology partner for ADB.
