“Traditional digital tools provide KPIs, dashboards, and data analysis tools, which require weeks of manual effort to troubleshoot, build and maintain data science models. Instead of endless pilots, operations and remote monitoring teams are looking for automated intelligence that detects the reason for losses, suggests mitigation, and gets smarter like an expert,” said Jagadish Gattu, CEO of UptimeAI. “UptimeAI delivers exactly that by consolidating point solutions and combining cutting-edge AI innovation with 200 years of SME (Subject Matter Expert) knowledge.”

“In UptimeAI, we found a startup that is developing a comprehensive and purpose-built AI solution for manufacturing based on a deep understanding of operational challenges,” said Girish Shivani, Executive Director & Fund Manager, YourNest Venture Capital. “Further, the combination of AI with their robust domain expertise puts them in a league of their own, and we are excited to enable their journey ahead.”
