New Delhi, Aug. 1 -- AI platform for semiconductor manufacturing SixSense and EV-focused logistics marketplace ILine have secured funding in separate early-stage rounds, the companies said.
SixSense
SixSense raised $8.5 million (Rs 74.3 crore) in a round led by Peak XV's Surge, with participation from Alpha Intelligence Capital, Febe, and others.
Founded by engineers Akanksha Jagwani and Avni Agarwal, SixSense's AI-powered platform is used in semiconductor manufacturing. It turns raw production data into real-time factory intelligence, helping chipmakers detect defects early, improve yield, and prevent production issues in increasingly complex chip fabrication lines.
The startup said it plans to use the funds to expand into chipmaking hubs across Malaysia, Taiwan, and the US, partner with AI-first inspection equipment makers, and invest in R&D.
ILine
ILine.ai Solutions Pvt. Ltd, which operates an EV-focused marketplace for last-mile delivery, has raised $500,000 in an angel round led by climate-tech and mobility investors.
Founded by Prakarsh Dwivedi, ILine provides real-time tracking, carbon savings analytics, and OTP-secured drop-offs. Launched in April this year, the platform's EV-first fleet helps reduce running costs for drivers and supports shippers in complying with emission mandates. The company is targeting to be present in 12 cities with around 30,000 daily orders by Q4 2026.
The capital will fuel expansion into tier II cities and deepen AI integration to optimize low-emission deliveries. Over the next 18 months, the startup plans to allocate more than half the funds to expand operations in Jaipur, Chandigarh, Lucknow, Bhopal, Ahmedabad and Surat, and seven additional tier II cities by December, while establishing two regional operations hubs. A quarter of the capital will support scaling the EV driver marketplace, with the aim of onboarding 20,000 electric vehicle pilots.
