Bengaluru,
16th October 2024: Gen-AI
SaaS start-up Alchemyst AI has raised $300K in a pre-seed round led by
Inflection Point Ventures, along with 100Unicorns & Early Seed Ventures.
Alchemyst AI will use the funds to
enhance GPU (graphics processing unit) and technology infrastructure, support
team development, scale operations, and drive growth.
Founded in 2023 by Uttaran Nayak and
Anuran Roy, Alchemyst AI is disrupting AI automation & enterprise
productivity developing digital employees that work together to create
intelligent functional components for mid-sized to large enterprises.
Uttaran
Nayak, Co-Founder & CEO, Alchemyst AI, said, “At Alchemyst AI, we are pioneering
the development of fully autonomous gen-AI digital employees which can interact
with each other & perform highly intelligent functional components across
enterprise teams. We are crafting the future of workforce and spearheading the
next industrial revolution. These gen-AI digital employees democratize the
entire workforce without human intervention at any stage. Over the past 12
months, we have had a unique vantage point as we have watched the bot/agent/AI
digital employee landscape evolve and transform. We also observed that most of
the application layer companies are dependent on generic foundational models to
carry out automation in the workforce. These dependencies often slow down a
company's scalability and make it defenseless and vulnerable. Alchemyst AI was
born to solve these challenges, with a strong technological understanding &
non-dependency on any generic LLM models."
Alchemyst AI features adaptive and
continual learning, enabling its digital employees, or "Alchemysts,"
to autonomously gather context based on the data provided by users, who control
this input to influence performance.
Vikram
Ramasubramaniam, Partner, Inflection Point Ventures said, “In this rapidly moving world,
businesses face significant challenges in managing team productivity and
delivering exceptional customer experiences, with traditional methods work
produced may be inefficient, leading to missed opportunities and stagnant growth.
Alchemyst AI addresses these pressing issues by harnessing the power of
generative AI to develop digital employees that automate routine tasks,
allowing teams to focus on high-value activities. Furthermore, it understands
that for its solutions to be scalable and effective, it needs robust security.
By prioritizing these aspects, Alchemyst AI has positioned itself to
revolutionize the way businesses operate, by supporting the future of work.”
To this Dr. Apoorva Ranjan Sharma, Cofounder, 100Unicorns added, At
100unicorn, we strongly believe in the impact of Generative AI in transforming
everyday lives. We have further strengthened our investment strategy in this
space with Alchemyst AI. The startup has created virtual employees with
human-like capabilities that can seamlessly integrate into business workflows,
creating a smarter, more intelligent, and more efficient workforce in the
future. We are thrilled to support a startup that is genuinely reshaping
automation with Generative AI and solving the problem of a dearth of tech
talent for mid to large-size businesses."

South East Asia even as the global market for Generative AI is expected to grow
substantially to $330 billion by 2030.
