A pioneering deep-tech startup from Kolkata is revolutionizing manufacturing processes across critical industries using its innovative artificial intelligence platform. Genovation Technology Solutions, which specializes in human-first autonomous AI systems, has successfully deployed its technology for global giants including Toyota, DRDO, and Airbus.
Made-in-India AI Breakthrough
Genovation has developed Mentis, proudly recognized as the subcontinent's first cost-effective, Made-in-India AI solution. This groundbreaking platform is specifically engineered to enhance operational efficiency, improve product quality, and drive scalable growth for businesses across multiple sectors.
What sets Mentis apart from conventional AI tools is its remarkable flexibility and data security features. The platform can operate seamlessly on the cloud, on local systems, or even without internet connectivity while maintaining complete data privacy. This capability makes it particularly valuable for sensitive industries like defense and aerospace.
Significant Cost Advantage
According to Genovation Founder Anurita Das, the solution offers extraordinary value proposition. "It's an extremely cost-effective solution providing custom agents, at 15x lower cost than OpenAI or Claude", she revealed. The platform's ability to run on air-gapped systems ensures absolute data privacy, a critical requirement for defense and proprietary manufacturing processes.
The startup's impressive client portfolio speaks volumes about its capabilities. Japanese automobile titan Toyota Motor Corporation, India's premier defense research organization DRDO, and European aviation leader Airbus Industrie have all embraced Genovation's AI technology for their manufacturing analysis needs.
Advanced Manufacturing Analysis
Genovation's agentic platform performs comprehensive analysis of manufacturing processes through multiple advanced capabilities:
- Consolidation of sensor data with both structured and unstructured information
- Automated process analysis and optimization
- Implementation of agentic AI in critical and reasoning-intensive operations
The technology has demonstrated particular effectiveness in the aerospace, defense, and automotive sectors, where precision and reliability are paramount.
Genovation recently secured $150,000 in pre-seed funding at a valuation of $6 million, indicating strong investor confidence in their innovative approach to AI solutions. This financial backing will likely accelerate the startup's growth and expand its reach into new industrial domains.
The success of this Kolkata-based startup underscores India's growing capabilities in the global deep-tech landscape, proving that homegrown innovation can compete with and even surpass international alternatives in terms of both performance and cost-effectiveness.
