Algomage

Algomage operates as a B2B and B2C SaaS company, offering an AI-powered suite of post-production tools designed to automate and accelerate workflows for photographers and enterprises. Founded in 2021 by Anand Rathi and based in Mumbai, India, the company targets the time-intensive tasks of digital photography, including image selection, editing, and sharing. The platform is built on machine vision and deep learning technologies that mimic human intelligence to streamline post-production. Its client base ranges from individual professional photographers and online marketplace vendors to large enterprises looking to manage event photography more efficiently. Revenue is generated through a subscription-based model.

The founder's journey is a unique blend of technology, finance, and creative arts. Anand Rathi started his career as an engineer, later delving into the finance world as a stock trader and corporate treasury manager after earning an MBA in the US. This quantitative background provided him with a technical understanding of physics and math, which he found naturally applicable to the mechanics of photography. Dissatisfied with corporate life, he transitioned into professional photography, founding Reels and Frames, a premium wedding photography company. His first-hand experience with the grueling post-production process in his own business directly led to the creation of Algomage, aiming to solve the very problems he faced. Rathi is recognized as one of the top 100 photographers in the world.

Algomage's product suite includes several key features. 'AlgoCull' is an AI assistant that analyzes thousands of raw images, rating them based on factors like focus, composition, and aesthetics to automate the culling process. 'AlgoShare' utilizes facial recognition technology, allowing event attendees to find their photos instantly by uploading a selfie, eliminating the need for manual sorting by the photographer. The platform can process approximately 4,000 images for selection and edit up to 3,000 images within an hour. It offers both a desktop application and a web platform, with integration capabilities via SDKs and APIs for enterprise clients. Since its inception, Algomage has processed over 100 million photos across more than 50,000 events. The company has secured $1.35 million in funding over two rounds, with notable investors including Flipkart Ventures and Dotin. These funds are being used to enhance its market presence in India and the USA and to develop new modules, with a potential expansion into e-commerce marketplaces.
