Fractal, (fractal.ai), a global leader in artificial intelligence and analytics, powering decisions in Fortune 500 companies, today announced that one of its subsidiaries, Theremin.ai, has raised funds from OLMO Capital.

Theremin’s cutting-edge technology platform identifies unique alpha investment opportunities in financial markets incorporating both conventional and alternate data sources.

Theremin.ai’s focus is to generate high-value alpha investment strategies and hence there is a need for large datasets, exhaustive research, and specialized talent. This round of financing will help us to continue investing in these areas”, – Hemant Kothavade, Founder & CEO, Theremin.ai.

We set up Theremin.ai to test whether our algorithms could find signals in a nearly perfect capital markets context and we are encouraged by the results”, said Srikanth Velamakanni, Co-founder, Group Chief Executive & Vice Chairman at Fractal. “We are excited about two of our AI product businesses (Qure.ai and Theremin.ai) raising external equity financing during this extraordinary year.

It validates our approach of finding great entrepreneurs within and outside Fractal and building AI businesses with them while staying consistent with our mission of powering human decisions with AI” he continued.

“We are very excited to partner with Theremin.ai, who are transforming the way investment decisions are being made today. We believe not much innovation has happened in this regard in the Indian and Asian capital markets, and there is a tremendous potential to use AI to make better informed and high-performance Investment strategies”, said Gulu Mirchandani Chairman, OLMO Capital.

Theremin.ai has the right team and capabilities to capitalize on the situation, and we are glad to partner with them to help accelerate their work in this space”, – Gulu Mirchandani.
