AI Startup Sparkcognition Rebrands As Avathon

Avathon, formerly known as SparkCognition, has rebranded alongside ambitious plans to expand its workforce in India by threefold over the next 24 months. This rebranding reflects Avathon's mission to integrate advanced artificial intelligence (AI) into legacy infrastructure, transforming traditional systems into autonomous, sustainable, and resilient ecosystems. 

With over USD 100 trillion of ageing infrastructure facing increased strain from supply disruptions, workforce shortages, and evolving security threats, Avathon aims to address these urgent global challenges and solidify its position as a critical player in the industrial sector.

Commenting on the development, Pervinder Johar, Chief Executive Officer, Avathon said, “India is at the heart of Avathon’s roadmap, with AI projected to contribute over 50 per cent of the Asia-Pacific region’s growth in traditional industries by 2028. India will play a pivotal role in our expansion, serving as a hub for product engineering, delivery, and support. Our rebranding effort aims to communicate the real-world applications of AI and how we’re revolutionizing industries like energy, supply chain, and aviation."

To bolster its India presence, Avathon is ramping up recruitment efforts nationwide, focusing on attracting top talent in AI and engineering. While Avathon’s global headquarters recently relocated to Silicon Valley to capitalise on the region's innovation ecosystem, its dedication to nurturing talent and advancing research & development in India remains a top priority.

Avathon’s AI platform is contracted for delivering safety monitoring for some of the major oil and gas organisations in India across 17,000 retail outlets, 83 terminals, and 15 airport fueling stations.

With strategic partnerships with technology giants like NVIDIA, and Qualcomm, Avathon claimed that it continues to deliver innovative, cost-effective products tailored for its clients. The company said that this rebranding marks a pivotal step in its journey to becoming a global leader in applied AI, leveraging its expertise to solve critical challenges for industries worldwide.
