# Akridata

> Akridata builds AI-powered visual inspection software that finds defects and anomalies in manufacturing, automotive, railway, medical, and agriculture operations in real time. Founded in 2018 by serial entrepreneur Kumar Ganapathy and his co-founders, it started by solving the unglamorous problem of curating massive visual datasets, then turned that engine into a suite of inspection tools - Vision Assist, Vision Command, and Vision Copilot. In May 2026 it was acquired by DIMAAG to expand into Physical AI and industrial infrastructure.

- **Founded:** 2018
- **Headquarters:** Fremont, California, United States
- **Founders:** Kumar Ganapathy (CEO, Co-founder & Chairman), Vijay Karamcheti (Co-founder), Sanjay Pichaiah (Co-founder)
- **Team size:** ~23 employees
- **Products:** Vision Assist, Vision Command, Vision Copilot, Edge Data Platform, Data Explorer
- **Notable:** Introduced what it described as the first Edge Data Platform for data-centric AI., Raised $15M Series A in 2021 led by TeleSoft Partners, Accel, and MFV Partners., Shipped three inspection products - Vision Assist, Vision Command, Vision Copilot - spanning human-in-the-loop inspection, command center, and model development.

## Products & services

- **Vision Assist** — AI-assisted visual inspection system that augments human inspectors with automated, real-time defect detection and multimodal inputs, integrating with existing legacy inspection lines.
- **Vision Command** — A real-time AI command center for manufacturing that tracks defects, monitors compliance, keeps audit logs, and optimizes production throughput.
- **Vision Copilot** — A collaborative platform for data scientists and ML engineers to visualize, curate, label, and generate synthetic data, then train, test, and deploy computer-vision models - with data kept in place.
- **Edge Data Platform** — The company's original infrastructure for data-centric AI, spanning edge-core-cloud resources to deliver curated, consistent, and relevant AI datasets.
- **Data Explorer** — Tool for data science teams to search, analyze, and curate large unlabeled visual datasets without exhaustive manual labeling, cutting data-preparation time.
