The technology is evolving at such a fast pace that any and every task that involves humans visually monitoring or supervising people or processes will be fully automated or at least enabled by AI.
Silversparro - USP
The nightmare for many manufacturing firms is the fact that they need to depend on floor supervisors to manage their production lines. This sometimes may lead to a delay in further processes.
SparroSense suite takes care of this problem and enables top management team with the direct view of the status of their production lines via Video Analytics.

This eventually leads to increased capacity utilization that can speed up higher production along with revenue without making major capital investments.
The unique USP of Sparrosense lies on the fact that it can ensure different solutions to run seamlessly on cloud, edge, and combination of both. The platform can serve clients across different locations with a wide variety of constraints of network bandwidth. The second aspect of unique innovation lies within the inbuilt mechanism to train continuously and deploy models iteratively. The models are extremely efficient and require low processing powers that save businesses from GPU processing cost.

Silversparro - Name, Tagline & Logo
Sometimes there are interesting stories around coming up with names and we can't afford to miss it. Silversparro founders have their version of the story to tell.
When we started – we were fascinated by the potential of drones and registered our company. Silversparro made sense as the name of drone company as drones appear like ‘sparrows’ shining like ‘silver’ in the sky”. But we realized that drones are by themselves not sufficient to provide the business advantage. Unless the images and videos which are generated by these drones are analyzed. So, we started learning about computer vision and video analytics and soon pivoted entirely. But all of us liked the name ‘Silversparro’ and we are still continuing with the name - Abhinav quotes.
Silversparro - User Acquisition
For every company to get its initial set of customers is a challenging task. Silversparro was no different. Their first client was a company which Abhinav once approached for an interview.
I had an interview with one of the companies sometime back – and during the interview, it came up that they needed an AI computer vision solution to extract information from receipt images. Though I did not join the company, later when we started up - we reached out to the company and offered to build the required computer vision solution from them. This was how we got our first user and how our startup was born - Abhinav quotes
Silversparro acquires most of its users through word of mouth and via a network of investors, colleagues and customers.
Silversparro - Startup Challenges
The AI models that Silversparro creates heavily depend on client’s data for their accuracy – but clients were initially very reluctant to share their data with them. The team worked patiently over the past several years to build close relationships with clients and develop trust. Once, the clients see the value they become comfortable in the partnership.
Another consistent challenge is hiring. AI talent is extremely scarce and extremely expensive – so the company have developed a path to nurture and grow AI talent within the company. They hire really smart engineers and train them through online courses as well as real client problems to develop them as AI engineers and researchers. This approach has really worked for them for their success.
Initially, Silversparro offered its solutions as APIs, which was not much effective in terms of revenue. This lead the company to evolve the model from API to fully formed product which offered full value to the clients. The company also added a services component where it works extremely closely with the clients to help them integrate the solutions and ensure the complete realization of business value.
Silversparro - Business Model & Revenue Model
Sparrosense AI apps are based on the monthly subscription model. The price may vary from 50 USD to 300 USD per camera per month depending upon the use case. The commercial model of the company is a combination of development charges and quarterly subscription to the Sparrosense Edge and Cloud Platform. The overall commercial solutions range from 5000 USD to 25000 USD per month.
Silversparro - Advisors & Mentors
The team is deeply thankful for the entire startup ecosystem along with special gratitude to Rajesh Sawhney, Anand Chandrasekaran, and Sri Peddu from Power House Ventures. Their combined efforts and suggestions have helped the startup to grow progressively until today.
