Inc42 has featured five Indian AI startups it says could shape the country’s next AI layer. The selection is not a ranking and covers data infrastructure, enterprise productivity, cinematic content, healthcare and education. India’s AI startups raised $676 million in the first six months of 2026, nearly four times the amount raised in the same period last year, according to Inc42’s Indian Tech Startup Funding Report. The list includes Clairva, which turns real-world video into structured data for AI training, and Coreworks, which generates traceable business reports and presentations from company data. Clairva, founded in 2025, recently raised $500,000 in pre-seed funding led by Venture Catalysts. The IndiaAI Mission has an outlay of about Rs 10,300 crore and supports indigenous AI models, public datasets and subsidised GPU access.
