A game-changing GenAI platform that automates embedded software and ML model development for robotics, IoT, and smart devices.
The Real Problem: Why Today’s Smart Products Fail
Imagine building a robot that performs flawlessly in the lab but fails on-site. That’s the story of most embedded AI products today—long development times, fragile integrations, and high failure risks. CraftifAI was born to solve this.
Long GTM cycles: 4-month builds stretch to 15+ months
Cost overruns: ML model development = $80K+, system design needs rare cross-domain skills
Hardware-software mismatch: Dev-tested devices fail in real-world scenarios
Data drift and poor model generalisation across environments
Smart Earnings: Where the Money Flows
Orbit SaaS plans: $1K–$50K annually for developers, SMBs, and enterprise
Project services: High-margin revenue from new product development
Off-the-shelf solutions: Pre-built IPs for instant deployment
Margins scaling from 40% → 80% over 5 years
CraftifAI doesn’t just save time; it sells time. With tiered SaaS pricing, high-value product dev services, and IP resale, revenue is diversified, scalable, and growing fast. ARR is projected to cross ₹50 lakh in FY26, with ₹3 Cr in advanced talks.
Risk Factors—and How CraftifAI Handles Them
Tech stack changes fast (ONNX, TensorRT, MLIR, etc.)
Fragmented hardware market = high maintenance
High customer expectations for ‘plug-and-play’
GenAI faces legal/privacy compliance challenges
CraftifAI’s modular, platform-agnostic suite is its moat. From fallback logic to patented architecture, they’ve designed for volatility. Partnering with NVIDIA, ARM, and Blaize further de-risks execution.
Founder’s Story: Two Inventors. One Mission.
From NIT Kurukshetra dorm rooms to global edge-AI recognition, Pratik and Yashwant are builders at heart. One scaled business 0 to 1 at PhonePe, the other helped shape AI chips at Xilinx. Together, they’re turning embedded software into a push-button task with GenAI.
Pratik Sharda
MBA Gold Medallist, ex-PhonePe, 10+ years building and scaling tech products
Yashwant Dagar
11 years in edge AI, 7 patents, ex-Xilinx, system architecture expert
Entry Barriers: What Makes CraftifAI Hard to Copy
5 patents filed (PCTs across AI cameras, data pipelines, software abstraction)
Multi-agent GenAI orchestration – deep tech that isn’t trivial to replicate
Anyone can talk GenAI. Few can patent it across system design, MLOps, and device abstraction. CraftifAI is building intellectual property into every layer of product development.
Unlike STM32Cube or Microchip – it’s hardware-agnostic, not vendor-locked
Unlike ClearML or GPT plugins – it’s deeply embedded-aware
Where others offer parts, CraftifAI offers the whole machine—from text-based input to silicon-ready deployment. That’s not an upgrade—it’s a paradigm shift.
Every camera, drone, or IoT device will soon need GenAI at the edge. CraftifAI is not a product—it’s an infrastructure layer for the next decade of devices.
The Ask: $3 Million for Two Years of Acceleration
78% for resource ramp-up & GTM
7% for marketing, 5% for R&D infrastructure
10% reserved for operations and global pilot support
CraftifAI isn’t raising to survive—it’s raising to scale. With multiple products already in dev preview and enterprise POs in the pipeline, this capital fuels the next orbit.
Innovation: Not Just AI—GenAI, Embedded
Multi-agent GenAI platform for embedded + ML
Supports 90% of embedded frameworks (GStreamer, ROS, RTOS)
Only edge-ready MLOps tool with auto-retraining, CI/CD pipelines
Zero-code platform with hardware-agnostic output
This is not ChatGPT for code. This is Meta + OpenAI + Anthropic fine-tuned for silicon, logic, and real-world deployment. Innovation is embedded—literally.
Niche Targeting: Who Uses CraftifAI Today
Product leads building new AI/ML devices
Developers automating embedded builds
CTOs streamlining AI pipelines in robotics & medical IoT
They’re not chasing every dev. They’re focused on those making the machines of tomorrow—edge cameras, diagnostic tools, AMRs. CraftifAI is their secret weapon.
Traction: Proof Points from the Ground
Developer preview launched across 3 Orbit products
This isn’t a stealth startup anymore. It’s winning awards, shipping previews, and onboarding strategic clients. Recognition is global, momentum is real.
The orbit is expanding. From a handful of early adopters to full-scale SaaS monetisation, CraftifAI has a clear path and velocity.
Why Should You Invest in CraftifAI?
Positioned at the intersection of GenAI + Embedded Systems, a high-growth, under-served space
Proprietary IP with 5 global patents filed and 3 GenAI products already in preview
Revenue visibility: ₹50 lakh ARR in FY26 and ₹3 Cr in pipeline with major enterprise clients
Strong founding team with 20+ years of cumulative expertise in AI, hardware, GTM, and scaling tech products
CraftifAI isn’t just building software—it’s reimagining how hardware products are born. While most GenAI startups focus on content, CraftifAI targets the deep-tech layer—where the real bottlenecks exist. With proven traction, robust margins, and tiered SaaS models, the business is engineered for both scale and defensibility. Backing CraftifAI today means riding the early wave of the GenAI-for-Devices revolution.
Exit Options: What Does the Future Hold?
Strategic Acquisitions by global chipmakers, robotics companies, or AI firms (e.g., NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Intel)
Technology buyouts by cloud infrastructure players or vertical SaaS firms entering GenAI-hardware space
Long-term IPO potential as a category-defining AI platform for smart devices
High-visibility positioning with enterprise partnerships and patents, making CraftifAI a valuable M&A asset
CraftifAI sits in a lucrative acquisition zone—where hardware meets AI meets automation. The deep integrations with chip vendors, IP portfolio, and developer adoption all point toward strategic value creation. Whether it’s a buyout from a chip giant or a multi-X exit via acquisition, the odds of return are built into the roadmap.
This is your chance to invest in the future of AI-powered product creation.
Let’s shape the next generation of smart devices—together.
