Segment B — Rail-tech scale-ups

You don't need a 24-month plan. You need a 6-month case study.

Metros, NCRTC, DFCCIL, and the KAVACH primes are receptive buyers for predictive maintenance, AI inspection, cybersecurity, and digital operations. For Series B-D scale-ups, we run a sharper India Landing — qualified buyer meetings in 60 to 90 days, named pilot conversations, one signed pilot inside the runway you have.

Who you are

Western rail-tech scale-ups, Series B to D, $20M to $200M revenue, in predictive maintenance, AI track inspection, rail cybersecurity, digital operations. Have explicit India growth ambition.

What is keeping you up at night

  • The board wants international revenue case studies before the next round.
  • India looks big on paper but you don't know which metro, which corridor, which buyer to call first.
  • You have a 6 to 9 month runway against the bet, not 24 months.

What we typically see

  • A few LinkedIn intros.
  • One discovery call with NCRTC that went quiet.
  • A pilot proposal sent to a metro that never resolved.
  • A local Indian advisor who could open doors but could not steer the commercial conversation.

What Mainline says, that no one else says

Metros, NCRTC, DFCCIL, and the KAVACH primes are dramatically more receptive buyers for digital and rail-tech than Indian Railways.

We will run a sharper, faster India Landing — 3 to 6 months, named pilot conversations, one signed pilot inside the runway you have. The deliverable is a paying customer reference, not a 60-page country plan.
