IBM, Microsoft and Google
have two things in common
Indian CEOs and amazing
AI technologies, so
you're an Indian graduate and you want to work in
AI. Do you have to move overseas
to work on cool things? Absolutely
not. Today we're gonna talk about
the top five AI companies
in India and how you can help
drive the tech scene further. Welcome to
5 Mins 5 Ideas. I'm your host, Samanvay.
Originally born in India,
I've always been interested about the
technological innovations there.
I've always wondered what would happen
if all of the talented graduates of
chose to stay in the
country instead of going overseas.
I can't imagine the different
in which they would shape the
Indian economy and the technology
industry. But where would they work? Let's
find out. The first company on the list
is SigTuple. It's a medical startup.
based in Bangalore. SigTuple
aims to provide point of care solution
for remotely situated villages.
Imagine a villager is
taken to a clinic that is ill-equipped
with the necessary diagnosis tools.
And the nearest hospital is about 100
kms away. It will be another
five hours before the patient is
correctly diagnosed and given the
necessary treatment. During those
five hours, it's very much possible that the
patient's health will degrade to the extent that
they could die. This is where
SigTuple steps in. The provide
portable screening solutions
such as an automated microscope
that can be fitted in any
clinic. One such tool is a blood
smear analyser. So you would take
a blood sampler from the patient and put it
into the automated microscope which would
then use its advanced AI algorithm
to analyse the sample and
generate reports that will be reviewed in
real-time by pathologists located
around the world and all of
this is done in under 5 mins.
Recently SigTuple raised
$25 Million in funding to help
them save the lives of countless
people. You can imagine an
ideal place to work if you want to have an impact
in healthcare using AI.
The second company on the list
is Mad Street Den. This is a company
based in Chennai and it's a computer vision
start-up. They provide tools to
boost sales of any
e-commerce business. They operate in
three different segments, in catalog
management, visual merchandising and
customer journey personalisation.
So the moment the customer enters your e-commerce
website, their browsing behaviour will
be analysed by an AI
algorithm to recommend them the
best product that they might like. And behind the scenes
they'd also help you modify
the website and present the catalogue
in a way that's appealing to a specific
customer, so that is personalisation
on the fly. And as you can see,
this is extremely beneficial for any
e-commerce business given the surge in
online shopping given this COVID pandemic.
Mad Street Den were featured in
Bloomberg's 2017

way in which people interact

They equip farmers with state

their farms better. This includes

satellite and weather data.
The software also gives them predictions
of their yield along with many
many other tools to manage their
farms. The start-up has raised
$3.6 million and it's set
to change the way people farm
in India. The fourth start-up on
the list is Avaamo. They use neural
networks, deep learning and natural language
processing to create conversational
AI bots for enterprise
clients. This is pretty much creating
smart chatbots that you are all familiar
with when you go on to your favourite
airlines booking website or
insurance website. So it's one of those chat bots
that pops up in the bottom
saying "May I help you?". You can imagine that this is
something that all industries

has clients across all domains.
