About Raven

Decades of operating knowledge, connected and kept usable.

Mission

Plants run on decades of operating knowledge — and most of it lives in scanned drawings, scattered documents, and the memory of experienced people. Raven's mission is to make that knowledge usable: every drawing, document, and record converted into connected, validated asset information that plant teams can trust and work from.

We're building the foundation that lets engineers and AI agents work from the same source of truth — smart P&IDs and one information page per asset, with human review on everything that counts.

History

Our story

Raven began in 2024 when brothers Priyansh and Sriyansh returned home for their father's retirement.

After three decades leading operations at Reliance Industries, Petro Rabigh, Haldia Petrochemicals, and ONGC Petro Additions (OPaL), he had seen firsthand how much efficiency and safety depend on people's experience — and how difficult it is to make that knowledge accessible across a plant.

Those conversations made us realize the scale of what's possible when industrial knowledge becomes searchable and usable the way modern software knowledge already is. Having spent years building startups and systems — and as YC founders who had seen how technology can reshape work — we decided to bring that same transformation to the plant floor.

That's where Raven started, with a simple idea: make a plant's knowledge connected, searchable, and available to everyone who runs it.

Today, our small team in San Francisco and Bangalore works alongside plant engineers and safety teams to turn decades of industrial know-how into something that can be found, reused, and built upon every day.

Engagement

How we work

We keep things straightforward and outcome-focused. Every engagement starts with a short pilot, clear success criteria, and transparent communication — security, reliability, and day-one usefulness guide our decisions.

01

30-day pilot with agreed success criteria and weekly checkpoints.

02

Co-designed with plant SMEs; fits the operations, maintenance, engineering, and safety workflows you already run.

03

Clear data handling: your data stays yours; reviews before deployment.

04

Direct access to the builders during pilot and rollout — no handoffs.

05

Continue only if value is proven — no long-term lock-in.
