i-Sprint completes management buy-out with KV Asia Capital to support regional growth

Singapore – i-Sprint Corporation has completed a management buy-out covering all of its operating entities, following a transaction led by its current leadership team in collaboration with KV Asia Capital. The development follows the company’s 25th anniversary milestone and signals a transition into a new phase of ownership and strategic direction.

The deal is regarded as one of the more notable transactions within the Identity and Access Management sector in APAC, reflecting the company’s position in a cybersecurity environment increasingly shaped by AI-led threats, the expansion of machine identities and stricter regulatory expectations. The transaction is expected to support further product development, research initiatives and expansion into additional markets.

“This Management Buy-Out is a defining moment for i-Sprint and a testament to the strength of the business we have built and our deep belief in its future,” Dutch Ng, chief executive officer of i-Sprint, stated. 

“We are grateful for the trust and support of our clients, partners, and team—and excited about the future we’re building together.”

Following the buy-out, the company continues to operate as an independent provider specialising in identity and access management, quantum-safe security and mobile security technologies. The arrangement is intended to strengthen its capacity to innovate and scale operations across the region and beyond.

KV Asia Capital, known for its investments in growth-stage businesses across APAC, is expected to contribute capital and strategic guidance to support product enhancement, research and development activities, and potential expansion opportunities. The partnership is also positioned to enable the company to pursue broader market reach and operational agility.

“We are thrilled to partner with i-Sprint’s founders and management team, whose deep domain expertise and track record have earned the trust of Asia’s leading financial and government institutions,” Gan Ping Ling, managing director at KV Asia Capital, commented.

“Together, we will scale i-Sprint’s global footprint through accelerated R&D investments and strategic M&A.”

The existing leadership team will remain in place to oversee ongoing operations and maintain continuity in the company’s strategic priorities, with a continued focus on developing security solutions for enterprise and institutional clients.
