Tsecond.ai, an edge AI and data infrastructure startup, has raised over $21.5 million (around ₹190 crore) in funding led by MSN Holdings, the family office of Manish Nuwal, Managing Director and CEO of Solar Industries India.
The investment has been secured across multiple rounds over the past two years and will be used to expand the company’s capabilities in defence and mission-critical AI infrastructure.
Founded by Sahil Chawla, Tsecond.ai focuses on building advanced edge computing and data systems for sectors such as defence, aerospace, and enterprise. Its flagship platform, BRYCK, is designed to enable high-speed data capture and AI processing in environments where cloud connectivity is limited or unavailable.
The company’s solutions are already being deployed in defence programmes across key global markets, including the United States, the United Kingdom, India, and parts of Europe.
Tsecond.ai is addressing a critical challenge in modern technology, processing large volumes of data in real time in remote or disconnected environments where traditional cloud-based systems cannot operate effectively.
In India, the company is part of a growing ecosystem of defence and edge AI startups. This includes players such as IdeaForge, known for its surveillance drones; Tonbo Imaging, which develops advanced imaging and sensor technologies; Zuppa, focused on real-time AI systems for drones; and Craic Precision, which works on AI-enabled battlefield and edge computing solutions.
As demand for real-time intelligence and autonomous systems continues to grow, startups like Tsecond.ai are playing an important role in building the infrastructure required for next-generation defence and enterprise applications.
With fresh capital in place, the company is expected to further strengthen its technology and expand its presence in global markets.
