Frinks AI Raises Rs 450 million in Pre-Series A Round

Frinks AI, a manufacturing-focused artificial intelligence startup founded by alumni of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad, has secured Rs 450 million in a Pre-Series A round led by Prime Venture Partners. This brings its total funding to Rs 520 million.

The deep-tech firm is building advanced Vision AI systems designed to automate quality control for manufacturers. The round also included contributions from existing investor Chiratae Ventures, Navam Capital, and Ashok Atluri, Founder of Zen Technologies.

Frinks AI is also backed by notable strategic investors such as Mr S Ramadorai (former Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Tata Consultancy Services), Dr V Sumantran (former Executive Director, Tata Motors), Dr Tarun Ramadorai (Professor, Imperial College London), and Dr Gopichand Katragadda (former Group Chief Technology Officer, Tata Sons).

Founded by Aditya Agrawal, Dharmgya Sharma and Subhra S Bhattacherjee, the startup began as a research initiative at IIT Hyderabad. Today, it is developing foundational vision models — highly generalisable AI systems built for visual inspection and manufacturing quality assurance.
