About the Company

Ripik.AI is an Accel-backed applied AI company building computer vision and process-optimization agents for the world's largest industrial enterprises across steel, cement, aluminum, chemicals, pharma, and power. Our Vision AI platform acts as an automated pair of eyes on the shop floor — monitoring materials, equipment, and processes 24/7 with 95%+ accuracy, eliminating human error, and delivering measurable gains in throughput, yield, energy efficiency, and safety.

We work with marquee customers including Tata Steel, JSW, ArcelorMittal, Vedanta, Godrej & Boyce, Grasim, Holcim, and Jindal Steel, and are scaling globally across India, the Middle East, Europe, and North America.

Ripik.AI is one of India's few AI product start-ups to be a partner to GCP, Azure, and AWS, and is the AI partner of choice for CII, ICC, and NASSCOM.
