Ripik.AI

We are building Industrial Autopilot — earned per loop.

"I spent a decade applying AI inside factories — first at McKinsey, then on the floor. The lesson was simple: heavy industry doesn't need another dashboard. It needs closed-loop action, sub-second, at the edge, that the captain on shift can trust. That's what we ship. Once installed, never replaced."

— Pinak Dattaray Founder & CEO

A 70-person team — 25 in tech, 25 forward-deployed engineers, 15 in GTM and sales. Headquartered in India, deployed in 15 countries.
