information and accurate predictions that empower clients to have a transparent, worry-free business.

“We evaluated many companies globally providing predictive maintenance solutions and found Predictronics’ product offerings and solutions to be a clear differentiator,” said Rajesh Narasimhan, Board Member of TVS Motor Company and CEO of TVS Motor Singapore.
“Their PDX platform collects and analyses big data with a goal of reducing unplanned down time, increasing productivity and improving product quality. We are hence happy to invest in and strategically partner with Predictronics as they continue to deliver business improvements for Fortune 500 companies while leveraging them for our businesses,” he said in a statement.
Edzel Lapira, Co-Founder and CEO of Predictronics said: “We believe TVS Motor is an ideal strategic investor and partner for Predictronics with the forward-looking vision, dedication and clear business case for harnessing the power of advanced analytics technologies.”
