“This round will provide the momentum required to take our technology deeper into real fab environments. Our long-term vision is to build an operating system for industrial operations, where AI continuously reasons over complex, multimodal data to guide decisions across the manufacturing lifecycle,” said ThirdAI cofounder Sainyam Galhotra. 

Raghav Gupta, Vice President at Endiya, said, “ThirdAI is tackling a real problem in semiconductor manufacturing, where equipment downtime and process issues persist. Root cause analysis remains largely manual and time-intensive. Their approach has the potential to change that. The founding team combines deep technical expertise with industry experience, and we’re excited to partner with them as they build a transformative platform.”

Surya Mantha, Managing Partner at Capria Ventures, said, “ThirdAI tackles one of the industry’s costliest bottlenecks, turning complex equipment data into clear, actionable causal insights. Their approach can significantly improve uptime and yield in high-volume, production-critical fabs. It is also applicable to other always-on industrial systems like power generation, utilities, and chemical processing which face similar complexity and constraints.”
