Nekko's Agentic AI: Next Growth Engine for Businesses

Bengaluru-based startup Nekko is shifting its focus from AI services to developing proprietary products, including computer vision systems and agentic AI solutions. The company began as an AI services provider but is now building its next growth engine in business process transformation. The AI-as-a-service market is rapidly expanding, with an estimated value of over $16 billion this year. It's projected to reach more than $105 billion by 2030. Nekko's founders, Anand Kalyanraman and Prithviraj Chatterjee, observed many companies seeking customized AI services, a trend now validated by major AI players. Nekko aims to rethink and rebuild business processes using AI, particularly agentic process automation. This approach goes beyond traditional robotic process automation. The company also offers a computer vision platform for industries like manufacturing and retail. This system analyzes camera feeds for safety, compliance, and operational visibility. This move by Nekko highlights a growing trend of AI companies developing specialized solutions to reshape how businesses operate.
