Bengaluru-based AutoVRse today
said it has raised $2.4 million in a funding round co-led by Singularity AMC's
Large Value Fund III and Early Opportunities Fund, and existing investor
Lumikai, an interactive media, digital platforms and games VC.
“At AutoVRse, we have spent a
decade building training content for frontline workers. We've amassed the most
accurate digital representation of how physical work gets done. The same way
self-driving cars were first trained inside video games and 3D simulations
before they hit the road, the AI that powers high-precision industries is being
trained inside digital twins built on VRseBuilder. We're grateful to
Singularity AMC for backing this vision, and to Lumikai, who've believed in
this bet for years,” said Ashwin Jaishanker, Co-Founder and CEO, AutoVRse.
“AutoVRse is creating real impact
with AI on the factory floor and in pharma labs, and that is what the
investment thesis is built on. The company operates at the intersection of AI
and the global manufacturing revolution. We believe this is how the world will
train and operate its industrial workforce over the next 10 years. AutoVRse
sits at the edge of a massive, largely untapped market, and we believe the
growth from here will be extraordinary.” said Yash Kela, Founder & Chief
Investment Officer, Singularity AMC.
The startup will use the raised
capital to accelerate product development across critical industries, deepen
integrations with customer infrastructure, and scale go-to-market efforts
across North America. It also plans to expand further in Europe, the GCC and
India.
