- WorkOnGrid raised ₹22.5 Cr ($2.4 Mn) in a funding round led by Transition VC, with participation from Indian Angel Network (IAN), to fuel global expansion and build international infrastructure
- WorkOnGrid will use the funds to strengthen its AI/ML capabilities and scale its central data platform, Grid, which integrates operational data from utilities like electricity, water, and gas providers
- WorkOnGrid's platform connects disparate systems—including billing, meter data, and field workforce tools—enabling utilities to detect issues like electricity theft, faulty meters, and maintenance needs through automated insights
- WorkOnGrid was founded in 2017 by Udit Poddar, Shreyansh Jain, Aayush Agrawal, and Shaurya Poddar as a data consulting firm for SMEs before pivoting to a utility-focused data warehousing and analytics platform
- WorkOnGrid's platform allows non-technical users to query operational data in plain language and receive automated reports, improving decision-making for utility managers
- WorkOnGrid has now raised a total of $3.25 Mn+, including $820K across two prior rounds before this latest infusion
Why it matters: Utility companies gain a scalable AI tool to reduce losses and improve grid efficiency, while investors double down on enterprise AI with clear use cases—WorkOnGrid’s ₹22.5 Cr raise reflects growing confidence in domain-specific AI solutions over generic platforms.
