Infinite Uptime, an innovative Indian startup revolutionizing factory operations with AI-driven predictive maintenance solutions, has secured $35 million in Series C funding. This strategic investment positions the company to expand its footprint in the U.S. and other key global markets, accelerating its mission to optimize factory equipment and reduce costly downtime.
The manufacturing industry, often slow to adopt new technology, has relied heavily on outdated machinery, driving up energy consumption and operational inefficiencies. However, as technology gradually reshapes this sector, Infinite Uptime is leading the charge by offering cutting-edge solutions that harness the power of AI, advanced sensors, and data analytics to enhance factory maintenance and repair processes.
Infinite Uptime’s proprietary sensors, paired with its sophisticated AI-driven diagnostics, provide manufacturers with real-time insights and actionable recommendations for equipment maintenance. The company’s smart dashboard enables live monitoring, giving manufacturers the precise data they need to intervene at the right moment and ensure peak performance.
“Our technology provides manufacturers with laser-targeted recommendations, guiding them on what needs to be done in the plant, which parameters to monitor, and which assets require attention,” explained Raunak Bhinge, the visionary founder of Infinite Uptime.
What makes Infinite Uptime’s solutions truly unique is its ability to operate in extreme conditions. Its piezoelectric sensors excel in high temperatures and corrosive environments, such as chemical plants using phosphoric, nitric, and sulfuric acids. With multiple patents in this area, the company is setting new standards for diagnostics in some of the toughest industrial environments.
While established players like Rockwell, Siemens, and Honeywell have introduced AI-based automation to factory maintenance, Infinite Uptime’s approach stands out. The company offers a bottom-up technology stack, focusing on delivering more efficient and practical solutions for high-temperature applications—something that traditional systems and battery-powered microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) often fail to do. This unique angle allows Infinite Uptime to serve industries that demand the highest reliability, including steel, cement, mining, chemicals, and paper manufacturing.
To date, the startup has helped over 800 plants across nearly 30 countries save more than 74,000 hours of downtime, while boosting productivity, energy efficiency, safety, and compliance by 5% to 10%. With the new funding, Infinite Uptime is poised to expand its global presence, particularly in the U.S., where its groundbreaking solutions are gaining traction in the manufacturing sector.
The Series C funding round was led by Avataar Ventures, with additional participation from StepStone Group, LGVP, and existing investors Tiger Global and GSR Ventures. With this round, the company has raised a total of $65 million since its founding in 2015, according to Crunchbase.
Bhinge highlighted that Infinite Uptime has achieved impressive growth, with its revenue doubling every year for the past three years. The company is operationally cash-flow positive and plans to use the new funds to further develop its product offerings and explore merger and acquisition opportunities to fuel future growth.
With a team of 350 employees, Infinite Uptime is heavily investing in research and development (R&D) and data science to further enhance its AI-driven insights. The goal is to bridge the gap between a factory’s theoretical production capacity and its actual output, boosting overall efficiency and sustainability.
“We’re focused on helping manufacturers optimize their existing infrastructure by using less energy per ton of production, enabling them to achieve more with what they already have,” Bhinge said.
As Infinite Uptime continues to disrupt the factory maintenance industry, its groundbreaking solutions are setting the stage for a new era of operational efficiency, energy conservation, and smarter manufacturing. With its innovative approach and impressive growth trajectory, the company is well-positioned to lead the digital transformation of factories worldwide
