Augury, an Industrial AI company serving manufacturing industries, has opened a new engineering hub in Bengaluru to expand its technical capabilities and strengthen its research and development operations in India. The facility will support the development of AI solutions for manufacturers worldwide and expand the company’s global engineering network across the United States, Israel and India.
The expansion follows the launch of Augury’s Industrial AI Workforce in May 2026. The platform uses role-based AI agents designed to support reliability, maintenance and operations teams in improving plant performance. The Bengaluru hub will focus on advancing these agentic capabilities and developing technology for industrial applications. Augury is establishing the centre in partnership with SecondHQ, a global capability centre services company. The expansion builds on the company’s $75 million funding round in 2025, which supports product development and international growth.
Anoop Mohan, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Augury, said India was an important part of the company’s long-term investment in engineering and Industrial AI. He said the Bengaluru team would combine technical expertise with industrial knowledge to develop practical AI applications for manufacturing facilities worldwide.
The company’s Industrial AI platform draws on more than 15 years of machine-monitoring experience. It combines machine data, operational information and the knowledge of experienced plant personnel to create an industrial context graph that helps AI agents generate relevant insights and support decisions on the factory floor. Augury works with more than 800 plants across six continents. Its customers include businesses in food and beverage, consumer packaged goods and other industries that depend on industrial equipment and production assets.
Ganesh Iyer, Senior Director of Engineering and India Site Leader at Augury, said trust among plant operators was essential for the adoption of Industrial AI. He said the Bengaluru centre would bring together engineers and industrial specialists to develop AI agents that operators could rely on in their daily work.
Dilip Sawhney, Managing Director of Rockwell Automation India, welcomed the expansion and said it would bring the two companies’ Indian teams closer together. He said the partnership could create further opportunities to connect industrial AI insights with maintenance activities and help manufacturers improve equipment reliability and operational performance.
Sanjeev Gupta, CEO of Karnataka Digital Economy Mission, said Bengaluru’s engineering talent and technology ecosystem supported global research and development. Abhilash Raghavan, CEO of SecondHQ, said the centre reflected India’s growing role as a strategic base for engineering and AI innovation.
