DesignX, a Noida-based hyper-automation company revolutionizing manufacturing shop floors, has raised $1 million in a pre-Series A funding round led by Piper Serica Angel Fund.
Previously, the company garnered $300,000 in equity funding in 2021 from Modular Capital, Accel, and select investors from the manufacturing sector.
The fresh funding will propel DesignX’s Df-OS platform into key global markets, including APAC, Japan, and Europe, while focusing on achieving lighthouse status through AI-driven analytics and sustainable manufacturing practices.
Founded in 2015 by Rajat Srivastava and Nishant Srivastava, DesignX specializes in enabling manufacturers to optimize productivity and sustainability. Its flagship Df-OS platform leverages real-time data analytics to minimize waste and carbon footprints, serving industries like automotive, FMCG, and consumer electronics.
The platform transforms traditional factory processes with minimal infrastructure investment, likened to the disruptive impacts of UPI and 4G technologies. It addresses challenges like outdated workflows and infrastructure, significantly reducing modernization costs and timelines.
With the factory process application market valued at around $34 billion annually, DesignX is positioned to capture growing demand for digital transformation in manufacturing.
The company has established partnerships with prominent players, including Unilever, Hero MotoCorp, and Dabur. Over the last three years, it has digitized more than 10,000 processes in 500+ factories, connected over 1,400 machines in real time, and amassed 405+ customers.
