especially for key sectors such as Defense, Logistics, Agriculture and Utilities. We’re proud to be partnering with AuraML on their journey - wishing Ayush, Arjun & team.

In the old world, robots would be tested and trained in the real world manually which cost > $500K & last 6 months. AuraML’s early clients have brought this cost down by 1/10th by running simulations in < 1 week! 🤯. AuraML is building the backbone of Adaptive Autonomy.

AuraML is building a Multimodal World Model (MMWM) that acts like a digital twin of the physical world and is being trained to be able to create multi modal outputs like lidar, camera, thermal, depth, imu and other sensors.

In the fraction of the time needed for a game developer to create game worlds, a robotics engineer can use AuraML’s text to 3D environment GenAI to simulate any real world or hypothetical scenario involving a physical machine.

Creating realistic environments in 3D engines requires 30-50 level designers and environment artists working together on it for 6-12 months to get the results we see in modern games and CGI.

Excited to share our investment in AuraML which is building the “Generative simulation engine for industrial robots” 🥳. AuraML has raised a $1M Pre-Seed round led by Turbostart with participation from us (DeVC), GFS Accelerator and India Angel Network:

We’re proud to be investors in Snowmountain from the early days alongside other firms & notable Angels. Wishing Brij @brijbhasin, Pradeep, Nilesh & team Snowmountain the very best for the future 🙏.

In each vertical, they build a multi-agent system that works in conjunction to fulfil specific business objectives. The entire value chain is modelled from prompts, workflow and benchmarks to provide robust evaluation.

Snowmountain has a unique co-development approach where they partner with a select group of clients from a single industry to co-develop solutions which have broader applicability - they are in the true sense “customer backwards, but technology forward as well”.

2. Forecast360 i.e. Banking - Credit Risk & Peer Benchmarking. 3. Agentic Risk Evaluation - Assessment & Benchmarking.

At the core of Snowmountain is their proprietary AI Model (literally) called CARE i.e. Consensus-based Agentic Risk Evaluation . CARE Reasoning is being deployed across various industries:. 1. Snowmountain AI+Capital i.e. Private market investing - target screening & evaluation.

Pradeep had worked across India’s top consumer internet companies (Flipkart, Swiggy & Slice) whereas Nilesh had a terrific run as an engineering leader at ClearTax & Meta. The trio bring together the perfect balance of Sales/BD + Product chops + Engineering muscle.

In Sept 2023 - Brij, Pradeep and Nilesh decided to team up to start Snowmountain AI - an R&D focused AI Lab which builds vertical focused business agents, apps & solutions. Brij left behind a 10+ year career as a VC investor and earlier building Enterprise finance & legal AI.
