About drivebuddyAI
drivebuddyAI is a fast-growing, AI & mobility technology company building the world's first
continuous-learning AI platform for vehicle safety and intelligence. Founded in 2018 with a
vision to transform real-world driver behavior into collective intelligence, we are now a globally
recognized provider of ADAS and Driver Monitoring solutions for fleets, auto OEMs, insurers,
and smart cities.
Our platform processes over 3.5+ billion kilometres of real-world driving data, delivering proven
outcomes such as 70%+ accident reduction in commercial fleet deployments. We are validated
by leading global testing agencies including ARAI (India) and IDIADA (Europe), and our
solutions are compliant with India GSR, Euro GSR, and Euro NCAP 2026 protocols.
Headquartered in Ahmedabad, India with a global footprint, we are a team of passionate
engineers, AI researchers, and automotive professionals working at the intersection of computer
vision, edge AI, embedded systems, and mobility. We are capital-efficient, innovation-driven,
and scaling rapidly to shape the future of transportation.
