Deeptech startup ThirdAI has raised $3 million in its seed funding round co-led by Endiya Partners and Capria Ventures.
The startup will use the fresh capital to scale product development, expand engineering and go-to-market teams in India and overseas, and accelerate deployments with semiconductor toolmakers and fabrication facilities.
ThirdAI, which was founded by Vivek Vishwakarma and Sainyam Galhotra in 2024, builds a causal AI-powered platform for root cause analysis (RCA) and troubleshooting in semiconductor manufacturing.
The firm works with equipment manufacturers and semiconductor fabs to reduce downtime and improve production yield.
The startup claims that its pilot and production deployments have shown reductions in diagnostic time and improvements in accuracy compared to manual RCA processes.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced in the Union Budget earlier this month the India Semiconductor Mission 2.0, which is expected to give a give to the semiconductor sector in India.
