WisdomAI Highlights Zombie Data Inflating Cloud Costs

WisdomAI CEO Soham Mazumdar warns enterprises in a Computer Weekly guest post that "zombie data"—redundant dormant datasets—are inflating cloud costs and carbon footprints as unchecked creation and retention proliferate. The startup, which tracks data "liveness," raised $50 million in a November 2025 Series A (after a $23 million seed) and now serves about 40 customers, positioning tooling to help FinOps and GreenOps automate archiving and rightsizing.
