AI in action: How startups showcased solutions built across healthcare, education, enterprise and more
The India AI Impact Summit saw startups showcase artificial intelligence (AI) applications spanning healthcare, manufacturing, education, fintech and more.
Some of these products are already live and being used at scale. Others are still in the build phase and nearing launch.
Now, as investors and tech leaders pitch India as a use-case capital of the world for AI, a look at how some of these startups are building consumer and enterprise applications for real-world deployment and not just demos.
Navana.ai (2018)
Founded by: Raoul Nanavati and Jai Nanavati
The Mumbai-based voice AI startup Navana.ai operates a full-stack platform that enables enterprises in the BFSI sector to deploy voicebots, transcription tools, and real-time analytics systems. The company has built three main offerings: a voice AI contact centre platform, a speech recognition API, and a contact centre intelligence API. It also functions as a research lab, developing its models in-house, including speech recognition systems, text-to-speech engines, and small language models planned for later this year. The company currently processes around 100 million calls annually and supports 15 Indian languages.
Aalgorix (2015)
Founded by: Rohit Verma
The company has been operating in the education sector for the past decade and has spent the last two years building its capabilities in AI, after previously working in extended reality (XR) and augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR) technologies. It has developed an AI-powered interactive toy designed as a companion for children under the age of 15. The syllabus-aligned toy engages with children by interacting, mentoring, and playing with them. The product is slated for launch in the next two months and will be distributed through toy shops.
Janus (2025)
Founded by: Shivum Pandove and Jet Wu
Janus helps companies test how well their AI systems actually work before putting them into production. It creates simulated environments that push AI agents to handle real-world scenarios, exposing gaps in logic, rule-following, tool use and overall reliability. Clients receive clear reports showing where the systems broke down and why. Backed by Y Combinator, Janus works mainly with enterprise customers and says it can cut testing timelines from months to days, helping teams fix issues faster. It charges on a pay-per-test basis. The platform can evaluate chatbots, voice assistants, browser-based agents and automated workflows. Based in the US, Janus is now exploring expansion into India.
Proxgy (2020)
Founded by: Pulkit Ahuja
Proxgy develops Internet of Things (IoT)-based products aimed at industrial and blue-collar workforces. Its main product is a smart helmet equipped with features such as a camera, flashlight, video recording, gas sensors, and GPS, along with other safety tools. The Gurugram-based company sells these devices to enterprise clients. Backed by Lenskart founder Peyush Bansal, the firm says its helmet is designed to support hands-free operations while enabling monitoring and data capture for workplace use. The company holds more than 100 patents across India and the US and sells its products globally. Proxgy has also introduced a smart lock for cargo tracking and security. The device uses a mix of cellular networks, Bluetooth, and satellite connectivity to provide real-time updates on cargo movement and status.
Neurema (2025)
Founded by: Ashutosh Thakur, Shoaib S Attar and Priyansh Jain
Neurema is developing a wearable device that tracks focus in real time and responds when attention drops. The system detects lapses in concentration and delivers calibrated binaural frequencies intended to help the wearer re-enter a focused state. The startup uses pupillometry and neuroscience-based feedback to guide attention. The product remains in development, with the company positioning itself for further research and funding to advance the technology.
