Ev2 Ventures/Caret Capital and ThinKuvate led a USD 1 million Seed investment round in Rosh.Ai, a deep-tech company based in Kochi, specialising in vehicle-agnostic autonomous solutions. Founded in 2021, Rosh.Ai aims to revolutionize mobility by addressing issues like sea port congestion and mining productivity with advanced autonomy technology.
