Tooliqa, established in 2021, is a deep-tech firm operating from its headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, with a significant presence in Gurugram, India. The company was founded by Aditya Raj, who previously co-founded and successfully exited MarketCube, a tech-based research business. This background in consumer insights and data science provided a foundation for Tooliqa's problem-solving approach. The name itself is a modern take on the Sanskrit word 'Tulika,' meaning paintbrush, and is stylized as 'Tool-iqa' to signify 'tools with IQ'.
In August 2021, Tooliqa secured $1.5 million in a pre-seed funding round. The investment was led by Aditya Raj, Dipak Singh, and Deepak Bansal, with participation from other angel investors. This capital was earmarked for accelerating research and development, product development, and building out manufacturing infrastructure.
The company specializes in developing custom AI solutions by engineering visual data, leveraging expertise in computer vision, deep learning, AI, and 3D reconstruction. A key differentiator is its focus on creating proprietary hardware, such as custom cameras with multi-sensor and LiDAR fusion, to avoid the inaccuracies associated with off-the-shelf components. Tooliqa offers professional services under a framework called DICE (Deep Tech & Data Sciences, Integrated Intelligence, Computer Vision, and Experienc3D) to help enterprises transform their operations. Their client base spans numerous sectors, including retail, manufacturing, security, e-commerce, real estate, and automotive.
Tooliqa is developing a product portfolio that includes both B2B and consumer-focused applications. One of its initial products is 'Twinn,' a handheld device designed to scan and perceive environments in 3D in real-time, drastically reducing the time required for tasks like interior design visualization from days to a much shorter cycle. Another product, primarily for the ed-tech space, is 'Quill,' an intelligent input device that functions as a smart pen, capable of picking up colors from the environment for creative and learning applications. Through these offerings, the firm aims to automate processes and provide deployable custom AI solutions.
