Introduction
The edge AI video analytics sector is witnessing exponential growth, with the global market valued at $8.02 billion in 2024 and projected to surpass $30 billion by 2030, driven by the need for real-time, privacy-first solutions. In India, rapid urbanization, smart city investments (₹1.68 lakh crore), and a burgeoning AI market ($7.8 billion by 2025) amplify demand for localized, efficient video intelligence. IndoAI’s Vision SML platform addresses this by delivering edge-native, lightweight AI models that go beyond detection to provide semantic and contextual understanding, tailored for India’s unique needs.
Market Demand & Relevance
- Edge AI Video Analytics: Low-latency, cloud-independent processing for privacy and cost efficiency.
- Unified Understanding: Semantic awareness (who, what, why) for actionable insights.
- Low-Power Intelligence: Operates on battery-powered or bandwidth-limited devices.
- Plug-and-Play Solutions: Easy-to-deploy, integrated hardware-software systems.
- Privacy-First: Aligns with GDPR and India’s DPDP Bill for localized processing.
IndoAI’s Solution:
- Real-time, on-device semantic video processing.
- No cloud dependency, ensuring low bandwidth and privacy.
- Custom hardware with tightly integrated, efficient AI models.
- Fine-tuned for Indian and regional use cases.
Target Markets & Use Cases
| Market | Need | IndoAI SML Application |
| Smart Cities | Surveillance, traffic, crowd analysis | Unified reasoning (e.g., crowd behavior post-fire) |
| Healthcare | Staff/patient monitoring, fall detection | Contextual alerts (e.g., unattended patient) |
| Transportation | Railways, airports, terminals | Semantics (e.g., unattended baggage) |
| Factories/Warehouses | Safety, intrusion, workflow monitoring | Fire/PPE detection, worker behavior analysis |
| Religious Sites | Crowd control, safety | Real-time movement understanding |
| Defence/Border Patrol | Intrusion, drone surveillance | Memory-enhanced tracking and explanation |
| Schools/Colleges | Student activity, violence prevention | Behavioral understanding, not just detection |
Market Size:
- Global Edge AI: $8.02B (2024) → $30B+ by 2030.
- AI Video Surveillance: ~14% CAGR (2024–2030).
- India Smart Cities: ₹1.68 lakh crore investment.
Competitive Landscape
| Company | Tech Focus | Limitations |
| Hikvision, Dahua | Object detection, face recognition | Limited semantics; government reluctance |
| Axis Communications | Hardware-centric analytics | No multimodal LLM integration |
| Cisco Meraki, Avigilon | Cloud-first AI surveillance | Expensive, cloud-dependent |
| OpenCV AI Kit (OAK) | Edge vision with depth + AI | DIY, not full-stack |
| Viso.ai, Ambient.ai | Cloud-based unified intelligence | GPU-heavy, not edge-native |
GPU-heavy, not edge-native
- Edge-native, privacy-safe inference.
- Lightweight SML stack (CLIP, SAM, LLMs).
- Indian market fit with local data and language support.
- Full-stack hardware-software integration.
- Vision for a model marketplace ecosystem.
