Edgehax, an Edge AI hardware platform, has raised ₹1.39 crore in a seed funding round led by Inflection Point Ventures (IPV).
The fresh funds raised will be used to boost manufacturing, accelerate product development, and scale into international markets across Singapore, US and Europe.
Founded in 2025 by Prabhu Stavarmath and Savitri Patil, Edgehax is a full-stack Edge AI hardware platform that combines compute, connectivity, and storage on a single board.
Built to address the challenges of local prototyping and scaling, it helps startups, OEMs, and enterprises bring hardware products to market faster without relying on overseas supply chains. With locally manufactured hardware, assured long-term supply, and on-ground technical support, Edgehax delivers a plug-and-play experience that simplifies hardware development from idea to production.
On the product side, Edgehax has managed to design and prototype its boards entirely in India, a step that adds weight to the country’s push for electronics independence. At present, more than 5,000 edge gateway boards are already in production, and about 10,000 compute modules meant for consumer appliances are expected to roll out by December 2025.
Edgehax is already used by 150+ startups, OEMs, and large enterprises to rapidly prototype, develop, and scale hardware-first products, all on a single integrated board with compute, connectivity, and storage.
Edgehax has enabled 100,000+ students and faculty development programs across 30+ universities and IITs using Edgehax dev kits. It also provides a hardware distribution platform for fabless OEMs to mass market their products and drive rapid adoption through its developer community across top-tier research institutions in India.
Edgehax has recently won NXP Silicon Seeds Startup Program 2025 to build an exclusive low-cost Edge AI compute module based on NXP chips for global automotive and consumer IoT applications. The product launch is planned in Singapore alongside NXP by December this year.
Prabhu Stavarmath, CEO and Co-founder of Edgehax, said, “At Edgehax, our goal is to become a global pioneer in Edge AI Gateways and Single Board Computers by delivering fully integrated hardware platforms with open-source firmware and scalable cloud software – enabling rapid product development for startups, enterprises, and OEMs worldwide. By 2029, Edgehax aims to empower over 100 million developers using its boards and tools across APAC, the US, and Europe. The bigger goal is straightforward: become the go-to design and manufacturing partner for enterprises and OEMs that need hardware which is ready to use and easy to customize. Step by step, through consistent product development and local manufacturing, Edgehax is working to showcase its Make in India capabilities to a global stakeholders ecosystem.”
Vikram Ramasubramanian, Partner, Inflection Point Ventures, said, “Despite India being one of the largest markets for tech and AI, it lacks a domestic hardware prototyping platform. Startups, OEMs, and enterprises have to rely on foreign-made boards and compute modules. Our investment in Edgehax comes at a pivotal moment in time where the government also underlines India’s need for domestically designed and manufactured flexible hardware that is accessible, reliable and affordable. Edgehax is at the forefront of this, with not only product development but also community-led ecosystem that helps scale quickly and reliably.”
