We’re building a team that combines deep technical expertise with the industrial context needed to turn AI into practical outcomes on the factory floor. Expanding our presence in Bengaluru gives us access to exceptional talent while strengthening our ability to innovate and serve manufacturers around the world.” - Anoop Mohan, Chief Product and Technology Officer - Augury

Oct 2026 : Augury has officially expanded its footprint into India, launching an engineering hub in Bengaluru. The new center strengthens Augury’s global technical architecture - joining established hubs in the United States and Israel - to accelerate the development of role-based AI agents designed specifically for factory reliability, maintenance, and operations teams.

Partnering with modern GCC enabler SecondHQ, Augury’s expansion builds on a $75 million funding round raised in 2025. The site will play a crucial role in advancing agentic capabilities within the company’s newly launched Industrial AI Workforce platform, leveraging over 15 years of machine data to build trusted operational context graphs for plant floors.

“India is an important part of Augury’s long-term investment in engineering and Industrial AI,” said Anoop Mohan, Chief Product and Technology Officer of Augury. “We’re building a team that combines deep technical expertise with the industrial context needed to turn AI into practical outcomes on the factory floor. Expanding our presence in Bengaluru gives us access to exceptional talent while strengthening our ability to innovate and serve manufacturers around the world.”

Ganesh Iyer, Senior Director of Engineering and India GCC Site Leader, emphasized the core mission: “In Industrial AI, an agent is only as good as an operator’s willingness to trust it on the shop floor, and that trust is built by capturing the unwritten knowledge of experienced plant teams. Our Bengaluru site is built on that exact discipline. We are bringing together exceptional engineering talent and deep industrial domain experts to build agents, operators we can rely on every day.”

Industry leaders welcomed the expansion. Dilip Sawhney, Managing Director at Rockwell Automation India, noted, “Rockwell Automation and Augury are strategic technology partners, and we welcome Augury’s decision to establish its engineering centre in Bengaluru. The expansion brings our teams in India closer together and creates new opportunities for collaboration as we connect industrial AI insights with maintenance execution. Together, we are helping manufacturers improve asset reliability, operational performance, and the speed at which they can turn insights into action.”

Sanjeev Gupta, CEO of Karnataka Digital Economy Mission (KDEM), added: “Bengaluru has established itself as one of the world’s leading destinations for engineering and R&D, with the talent and technology ecosystem required to support global innovation. Augury’s decision to expand its engineering presence here reinforces Bengaluru’s growing role in building advanced technology for global markets. We congratulate Augury and SecondHQ on this milestone and we look forward to supporting their global growth from Bengaluru.”

Abhilash Raghavan, CEO of SecondHQ, concluded: “Augury’s Bengaluru center is a testament to how India is evolving from a talent destination into a strategic hub for engineering, AI and innovation. With Industrial AI reshaping how manufacturers operate, Augury has a significant opportunity to build global capabilities from India.”
