Industrial AI and immersive technology startup AutoVRse has secured $2.4 million in fresh funding to expand its AI-powered smart glasses and virtual reality training solutions across the global healthcare, pharmaceutical, and medical technology sectors.
The funding round was co-led by Singularity AMC’s Large Value Fund III and Early Opportunities Fund, with participation from existing investor Lumikai.
The investment comes as demand grows for AI-driven workforce training and real-time operational support solutions in highly regulated industries where accuracy, compliance, and knowledge transfer are critical.
AI-Powered Training and Field Guidance Platform
AutoVRse develops virtual reality (VR) training and artificial intelligence-powered field assistance solutions that help pharmaceutical companies, healthcare providers, and medical device manufacturers improve workforce productivity and operational efficiency.
The company currently serves more than 500,000 users across over 50 enterprise customers spanning India, North America, Europe, and the Gulf region.
Its client portfolio includes:
- Five of the world’s 12 largest pharmaceutical companies
- One of the largest global medical device manufacturers
- Major enterprises such as Abbott, Intas Pharmaceuticals, and Panasonic
The company’s AI-powered smart glasses technology enables field technicians and engineers to access real-time guidance while performing complex tasks, reducing errors and improving compliance.
More Than 5,000 Engineers Already Using the Technology
One of AutoVRse’s global medical technology customers has expanded its engagement from a single virtual reality training module to more than 100 modules and now deploys the company’s smart-glasses platform to support over 5,000 field service engineers worldwide.
In another example, a leading pharmaceutical company has consolidated its VR training ecosystem by migrating from 72 different virtual reality vendors onto the AutoVRse platform.
These deployments highlight the growing adoption of immersive technologies and AI-powered knowledge systems within regulated industries.
Transforming Expert Knowledge into Actionable AI
At the core of AutoVRse’s offering is its proprietary platform, VRseBuilder.
The platform captures operational expertise directly from subject matter experts and converts it into structured, machine-readable intelligence.
This creates what AutoVRse describes as an “AI Brain”—a centralized knowledge repository that enables technicians, engineers, researchers, and field personnel to access validated information in real time.
The solution is particularly valuable in sectors governed by strict compliance requirements, including:
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing
- Medical devices
- Healthcare operations
- Laboratory environments
- Quality-controlled production facilities
By ensuring that AI recommendations are linked to verified documentation and approved procedures, the platform helps organizations maintain regulatory compliance while improving workforce performance.
Building Trustworthy AI for Regulated Industries
Commenting on the company’s approach, Ashwin Jaishanker, Co-Founder and CEO of AutoVRse, emphasized the importance of reliability in regulated environments.
“AI in regulated industries such as pharmaceutical and medical devices must be 100% reliable and cite compliant documentation. Our years building VR training for pharma scientists and lab technicians taught us that the only way to do this is to capture verified expert knowledge, authored and validated by the customer’s own subject matter experts.”
He added that the company’s journey began with workforce training rather than artificial intelligence.
“We didn’t set out to build an AI company—we set out to train workers in VR, and in doing so we ended up building the knowledge layer that makes AI in regulated industries actually trustworthy.”
Funding to Support Global Expansion
The newly raised capital will be used to accelerate product development and expand AutoVRse’s international presence.
Key focus areas include:
✅ Obtaining additional compliance certifications
✅ Strengthening Learning Management System (LMS) integrations
✅ Enhancing Quality Management System (QMS) capabilities
✅ Expanding operations across North America, Europe, the GCC, and India
✅ Scaling enterprise adoption within healthcare and life sciences sectors
The company aims to strengthen its position as a leading provider of AI-powered operational intelligence and immersive workforce training solutions.
Investors See Growing Potential in Industrial AI
Investors backing the company believe AutoVRse represents a new generation of enterprise AI applications focused on solving real-world industrial challenges.
Yash Kela, Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Singularity AMC, highlighted the company’s differentiated approach to AI adoption.
“Most people think of AI in the context of consumer apps. AutoVRse is creating real impact with AI in pharma labs and hospitals, and that is what our investment thesis is built on.”
His comments reflect a broader industry trend where enterprise-focused AI applications are gaining momentum across sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, and life sciences.
AI and Extended Reality Driving Healthcare Transformation
The healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors are increasingly investing in immersive technologies and artificial intelligence to improve training, reduce operational risks, and enhance productivity.
As regulatory requirements become more complex and specialized talent becomes harder to scale, organizations are looking for technologies that can preserve institutional knowledge and deliver consistent operational guidance.
Solutions combining AI, augmented reality, virtual reality, and wearable technologies are emerging as critical tools for workforce enablement and compliance management.
Outlook
With fresh funding, a growing global customer base, and increasing demand for AI-powered operational intelligence, AutoVRse is well-positioned to expand its footprint across the healthcare and life sciences sectors.
The company’s ability to combine immersive training with trusted, compliant AI guidance addresses a significant challenge faced by regulated industries worldwide.
As enterprises continue to embrace digital transformation, platforms that bridge the gap between human expertise and artificial intelligence are expected to play a central role in shaping the future of workforce productivity and knowledge management.
