WorkOnGrid Raises ₹22.5 Cr to Scale AI-Driven Utility Intelligence Platform

Artificial intelligence startup WorkOnGrid has raised ₹22.5 crore (approximately $2.4 million) in a fresh funding round led by Transition VC, with participation from Indian Angel Network (IAN). The funding marks a significant step forward in the company’s mission to transform how utility companies leverage data for smarter operations.

Founded in 2017 by Udit Poddar, Shreyansh Jain, Aayush Agrawal, and Shaurya Poddar, WorkOnGrid began its journey as a data consulting company focused on small and medium enterprises. Over time, the startup evolved its business model to address a larger opportunity, building a utility data warehousing and analytics platform tailored for energy and infrastructure companies.

The newly raised capital will be used to accelerate the company’s expansion plans, strengthen its AI and machine learning capabilities, and build robust international infrastructure. As global demand for efficient utility management grows, WorkOnGrid is positioning itself to serve both domestic and international markets.

At the core of WorkOnGrid’s platform is its ability to collect and process large volumes of data from multiple sources, including smart meters, field devices, and operational software used by electricity, water, and gas utilities. By transforming this raw data into actionable insights, the platform enables companies to optimize operations, reduce inefficiencies, and make data-driven decisions in real time.

Utility providers today face increasing pressure to improve efficiency, reduce losses, and ensure reliable service delivery. However, much of their data remains underutilized due to fragmented systems and a lack of advanced analytics. WorkOnGrid addresses this challenge by offering a centralized platform that integrates and analyzes data seamlessly, unlocking its full potential.

The integration of AI and ML further enhances the platform’s capabilities, enabling predictive analytics, anomaly detection, and smarter resource management. This not only helps utility companies improve operational performance but also contributes to sustainability by reducing wastage and optimizing energy usage.

With strong backing from leading investors and a clear focus on innovation, WorkOnGrid is well-positioned to scale its impact in the utility sector. As it continues to expand its footprint, the startup aims to play a key role in modernizing infrastructure through intelligent, data-driven solutions.
