Detect Technologies

Positions itself as giving industrial sites continuous, proactive visibility into operational risk rather than periodic manual inspection.

T-Pulse is the company's own-described flagship AI product spanning workplace safety, operations, inspections and security use cases.

A plug-and-play cloud solution that automates detection of safety violations near real-time, reducing reliance on manual monitoring.

Core buyer base is asset-heavy process industries needing continuous asset-integrity and safety monitoring.

Client base includes marquee multinational and Indian industrial majors.

For clients on annual contracts, Detect Technologies stations a dedicated team on-site at the client's industrial facility rather than relying purely on remote or self-serve support.

The company frames its customer relationship around proactively anticipating client needs and managing details at every touchpoint, rather than a purely transactional model.

Prospective customers reach Detect Technologies through website demo-request/contact flows routed to a direct sales team, rather than a self-serve signup.

The core product is delivered as a web-based SaaS platform/dashboard that aggregates visual, sensory, and repository data for customers, rather than through on-premise software installs.

Detect Technologies' products are developed and refined as R&D projects run directly inside real industrial sites over multi-year periods, rather than in a lab alone.

A core operating activity is running automated drone inspection flights and turning the captured data into detailed inspection reports for clients.

The company continuously develops AI products aimed at improving industrial safety, productivity and sustainability outcomes for its clients.

Capital raised in funding rounds is explicitly earmarked in part for continued R&D and product innovation, making fundraising-linked R&D a recurring activity.

NOCTUA is Detect Technologies' own automated drone hardware/software system used for internal and external inspection of large industrial assets.

GUMPS is the company's own intelligent IoT sensor product for continuous pipeline monitoring designed to catch leaks before failure.

The company's pipeline sensor was reported as able to monitor pipe wall thickness at extreme operating temperatures, a specialized hardware capability differentiating its monitoring hardware.

In-house algorithms improve GPS accuracy for autonomous drone flight and automatically flag areas of interest such as corrosion and hotspots in captured imagery.

Detect Technologies was incubated at IIT Madras, the institution from which its founding technology and research lineage originates.

Detect Technologies signed a global agreement with Shell to deploy T-Pulse across Shell's operations, becoming the first Indian tech startup in the Shell E4 program to sign such a framework agreement; Shell Ventures invested in the company alongside the deal.

Detect Technologies charges for its inspection service (e.g. drone-based inspections) on a per-call, day-rate basis rather than a flat product-sale price.

Some clients pay under annual contracts that fund a continuously stationed on-site team, giving the company a recurring, contract-based revenue stream alongside its per-inspection fees.
