“With ongoing supply chain disruptions and rising global trade tensions, we’re seeing a strong push toward localised manufacturing as countries prioritise internal consumption,” said Aditya Agrawal, CEO and Co-founder of Frinks AI.
“This marks the beginning of a new industrial revolution—one powered by advanced technologies that drive higher productivity and cost efficiency. Frinks AI is at the forefront of this transformation, helping manufacturers worldwide become more competitive, resilient, and future-ready," he added.
"Visual inspection in manufacturing has existed for decades but has long been limited by rule-based systems," noted Brij Bhushan, Partner at Prime VP. "Frinks' proprietary models dramatically improve applicability and reliability. We're excited to support their journey to scale globally."
