Industrial IoT Gets a Jolt: DATOMS Secures Rs 25 Cr from Vietnam's Big Capital JSC
While Silicon Valley obsesses over AI chatbots and the metaverse, the real smart money is quietly wiring up factory floors. DATOMS just proved it, bagging a cool Rs 25 crore. It might not have the TikTok glamour, but connecting industrial machines to a 'unified intelligence layer' sounds a lot like giving the backbone of our economy a much-needed brain — and frankly, a highly optimized one. Big Capital JSC from Vietnam clearly agrees that the future isn't just digital, it's *industrial* digital, proving that even heavy machinery can look incredibly attractive when its performance is boosted by data-driven insights.
DATOMS, operating from Bhubaneswar and Bengaluru, specializes in providing an industrial IoT platform tailored for enterprises and OEMs. Their core offering connects diverse machinery to a central intelligence layer, facilitating real-time performance tracking, predictive maintenance, and operational efficiency improvements. This Rs 25 crore (approximately $3 million USD) funding round, spearheaded by Vietnam's Big Capital JSC, is set to significantly bolster their expansion efforts, platform development, and market penetration within the burgeoning industrial automation and data analytics sector, underscoring a global recognition of the transformative power in digitizing traditional manufacturing and production processes.
