Industry 4.0 Ready
Industry 4.0 Ready? What is it? Industry 4.0 refers to the fourth industrial revolution. It is a period of AI integration, robotics, and IoT in manufacturing and industrial processes. This enables automated workflows. The manufacturing industry is going digital and is expected to be worth USD 40 billion in the next 3 years. Infinite Uptime is well-placed to ride this growth with a full stack plant reliability and energy efficiency solution.
The company competes with domestic and global players like UptimeAI, Sight Machine, Prospection, SparkCognition, Augury, Rockwell, Siemens and Honeywell.

The funding is a testament to investor confidence in Infinite Uptime’s business model and market potential. Shobhit Gupta, Principal at Avataar Ventures, said the Industry 4.0 market is still in the early stages and will see exponential growth driven by AI and IoT adoption. Hunter Somerville, Partner at StepStone Group, said the company can solve critical challenges for manufacturers globally.
Raunak Bhinge, Founder and CEO of Infinite Uptime, added, “At Infinite Uptime, our mission is to drive the next wave of digital transformation in manufacturing by using AI and real-time data analytics to maximize plant reliability and operational efficiency.” As Industry 4.0 gains pace in manufacturing, Infinite Uptime will lead industrial maintenance with its AI-based predictive diagnostics and smart monitoring.
