SixSense, a technology startup specializing in artificial intelligence-driven analytics for the semiconductor industry, has announced the close of a new funding round led by Peak XV´s Surge accelerator program. The Bengaluru-based company, cofounded by engineers Akanksha Jagwani and Avni Agarwal, focuses on turning vast semiconductor manufacturing data—such as defect images and machine signals—into actionable, real-time insights. These insights are designed to help chipmakers eliminate quality issues before they occur, ultimately driving up the output of usable semiconductors from each production line.
Participation in this latest investment included Alpha Intelligence Capital, Febe, and undisclosed other investors. While the company did not reveal the total amount raised, it emphasized its use of advanced artificial intelligence to help global semiconductor clients like GlobalFoundries and JCET. SixSense’s proprietary solutions allow these manufacturers to spot and correct inefficiencies in their factories, optimizing quality and yield at critical stages of chip fabrication.
Armed with fresh capital, SixSense plans a strategic expansion beyond its home base. The startup is targeting major semiconductor manufacturing hubs in Malaysia, Taiwan, and the United States for its next phase of growth. This geographic expansion is set to amplify the company’s influence in the semiconductor industry, where maximizing yields and minimizing defects are priorities amid worldwide supply chain pressures and surging demand for advanced electronics. The funding round highlights growing investor interest in artificial intelligence platforms tailored for deep-tech and industrial applications, especially those addressing core productivity challenges in global supply chains.
