The announcement, made on November 21, 2025, marks the automaker's third startup investment as it seeks to enhance customer experience through data-driven technologies.
Ravity Software Solutions, a Bengaluru-based technology startup founded in 2022, specializes in connected mobility intelligence. The company operates an AI-powered platform that helps automotive original equipment manufacturers and fleet operators leverage connected vehicle data to improve engineering processes, optimize operations, and enhance customer experience.
The investment is part of Maruti Suzuki's broader strategy to collaborate with innovative startups that can provide solutions relevant to its operations. The Maruti Suzuki Innovation Fund previously invested Rs 2 crore each in Amlgo Labs Private Limited in March 2024 and Sociograph Solutions Private Limited in June 2022.
Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director and CEO of Maruti Suzuki India Limited, emphasized the company's focus on customer-centric innovation. "In the age of open innovation, we strive to co-create business solutions with specialized entities operating in the particular field," he said, adding that startups bring agility, fresh thinking, and cutting-edge solutions to support customer delight.
Takeuchi noted that the partnership with Ravity would enable the company to elevate customer experience through data-driven insights. He also highlighted that Maruti Suzuki has been engaging with startups since 2019 through its innovation programs, aligning with the Government's Startup India initiative to promote entrepreneurship.
Vikas Rungta, Founder of Ravity Software Solutions, described the partnership as an honor, noting Maruti Suzuki's reputation for bringing personal mobility to millions across India and globally. "An automobile major like Maruti Suzuki partnering with a startup speaks volumes about its forward-thinking mindset, humility, and openness to learn and collaborate," Rungta said.
He expressed confidence that the combination of Maruti Suzuki's business scale and Ravity's agility and expertise in AI, analytics, and mobility would create value for customers. The startup's platform is designed to help organizations unlock new revenue streams and transform customer experience through connected vehicle data analytics.
The investment reflects the growing trend of established automotive companies partnering with technology startups to navigate the industry's digital transformation and meet evolving customer expectations in the connected vehicle space.
