Pivotchain Solutions is a data science company established in 2017, with its headquarters in Pune, India. The firm was founded by Deepak Rao, who serves as the CEO, and Yogendra Pratap Singh, the COO. Rao has an extensive background in business and technology, with over 18 years of experience at companies like Lehman Brothers, Morgan Stanley, IBM, and Goldman Sachs. Singh's experience includes roles at IBM, HSBC, and PwC.

The company specializes in providing intelligent video analytics solutions using artificial intelligence, deep learning, and computer vision. Its core product, RAVEN AI, is a hardware-agnostic software platform that integrates with existing or new camera networks to provide real-time, automated surveillance and monitoring. This technology is designed to detect events, generate alerts, and provide insights without the need for constant manual monitoring.

Pivotchain serves a diverse client base across several sectors, including government, homeland security, aviation, logistics, banking, and critical infrastructure. The business model is centered on delivering its AI-driven video surveillance solutions to help organizations enhance safety, security, and operational efficiency. For instance, in logistics, the platform offers real-time monitoring of operations to identify delays and predict turnaround times. For security applications, it automates the detection of safety and security events, which is particularly useful for monitoring large areas like airports or the millions of ATMs in India that are often not actively watched.

Since its inception, Pivotchain has raised a total of $769K in funding over four rounds. Its investors include Startup-O, MobiKwik, and Eden Investment Holding. In 2022, the company was recognized at the Startups India 2021 Awards, winning in the Security and Surveillance category.
