Paar Autonomy raises Rs 10 crore led by AdvantEdge Founders
Bengaluru-based Paar Autonomy has raised Rs 10 crore in a funding round led by AdvantEdge Founders.
The company had earlier raised Rs 3.5 crore in a pre-seed round led by Venture Catalysts. That money went toward setting up its first manufacturing line and delivering pilot units.
The fresh capital will be used to scale up production of AI-powered camera systems and to develop technology that lets drones navigate without GPS, according to a press release from Paar Autonomy.
Founded in June 2024 by Vignesh Sivaram Jayaraman, Paar Autonomy builds camera systems and AI software for drones and other unmanned defence platforms.
Its products focus on the perception layer for unmanned aerial, ground and maritime vehicles, including drones, rovers and boats.
The company's capabilities include edge-based AI, GPS and GNSS-independent visual-inertial navigation, and gyro-stabilised, multi-sensor gimbal camera payloads.
