EVENT
Saksham Bharat 2026
A multi-stakeholder dialogue on skilling gap in Cybersecurity, Data Resilience and AI — and the roadmap to a Saksham Bharat.
Infosec Reimagined 2026 is the premier information security summit where top leaders—CISOs, CROs, CIOs, CTOs and risk executives—converge to redefine cyber resilience.
Digital Senate is a premier conference uniting government leaders, technologists and innovators to share ideas, success stories and strategies on digital governance, public sector transformation, cybersecurity and emerging technologies in India.
CIO Prism unites forward-thinking technology leaders to exchange transformative insights, shape digital strategies, and foster innovation, empowering enterprises to excel in an era of rapid technological change.
The company said its platform will help in developing intelligent solutions using 3Dsensors to accurately perceive and learn the real world, which is critical for applications like autonomous vehicles, mobility, logistics, robotics, intelligent transport infrastructure, smart spaces, and security applications set to benefit from consistently high-quality decision-making data.
“The 3D sensing and automated systems markets are moving towards moon-shot growth, as evidenced by the recent successful SPACs across the value chain. This new investment demonstrates the confidence our investors have in our approach and vision towards becoming the heart of an autonomous future,” said Tushar Chhabra, co-founder, and CEO at Cron AI.
The startup claimed that its SenseEDGE platform will make it easier and more compelling for new industries to access the huge value of 3D lidar-point cloud processed data and build applications of the future.
Srikanth Sundararajan, General Partner at VenturEast, said: “There is high demand for deep learning deployment on the edge for real-time data inferencing, including 3D image extraction. Many industries are rapidly shifting away from the traditional centralized cloud model to the compute at the edge. Our investment thesis on this space is strong, thus we were keen to invest in Cron AI with their specific focus on edge computing, and differentiated IP as it relates to perception technology.”
