Cloudworx

Cloudworx (CloudWorx) is a Bangalore-based digital twin software company offering a "Process Twin Platform" that combines CAD/BIM geometry, IoT and operations data in a standard web browser. The company positions the platform as requiring no GPU servers, no software installs and no in-house 3D team, with twins running on laptops, tablets, phones and control-room screens. A patented compression engine is described as reducing source geometry to roughly 6% of the original file size so that large CAD models (cited example: a 2 GB file) stream to a single browser tab; the underlying US utility patent is stated to be valid through 2035.

The platform's deployment workflow is described in six steps: ingesting CAD, BIM or scan files and connecting IoT, MES and SCADA feeds; compressing geometry; binding each modelled asset (pipes, motors, sensors) to its real-world data source; rendering to the browser; analysis via dashboards, anomaly alerts, heatmaps and scenario simulation; and go-live on the plant floor. Typical time from CAD to live twin is stated as 3 to 9 weeks, with marketing claims of 4 weeks to live and 70% lower total cost of ownership. Advertised capabilities span real-time 3D asset monitoring, predictive maintenance (customers cited as seeing 30-40% lower unplanned downtime), performance optimization against historical baselines, scenario simulation of layout and throughput changes, and sustainability/ESG reporting including carbon, energy and CSRD metric rollups.

Use cases are grouped into verticals including manufacturing, energy (power plants, substations, grid), logistics (warehouses, sortation centres), water and utilities, marine and ports, and the built environment (campuses, labs, smart buildings, HVAC). Adjacent applications listed include aerospace and defence simulation twins, telecom infrastructure twins, academic Industry 4.0 research labs, smart city and education campus twins, aircraft and hangar twins, and substation/GIS twins.

Founding story

Founder and CEO Yuvraj Tomar began his entrepreneurial career in 2013 with Thinqbot, described as the world's first 3D smart home application, work that earned him a place on the inaugural Forbes Asia 30 Under 30 list in the Consumer Tech category. He has over 11 years of industry experience and previously worked at Google and Cisco, and at CloudWorx leads business strategy and product. Co-founder and CTO Kaushik Bharadwaj has eight years of industry experience, previously worked at PrimeAuth and XDA Developers, holds a degree from AGI Hyderabad, and leads technology design and implementation.

Business model

Cloudworx sells its Process Twin Platform to enterprise industrial customers, delivering configured twins built from customer CAD/BIM and live IoT, MES and SCADA data. Engagements begin with a booked pilot and a discovery call, and the company states delivery timelines of 3 to 9 weeks from source files to a production twin, after which the customer's own team operates it. Deployments serve two distinct buyer needs: browser-based 3D sales aids for equipment vendors' technical sales teams, and operations twins used by plant engineers for live monitoring.

Revenue derives from enterprise software deployments of the Process Twin Platform, delivered as browser-hosted twins configured for a customer's facility, with the company emphasizing a 70% lower total cost of ownership relative to alternatives that require GPU servers and dedicated 3D teams. Specific pricing, contract structure and subscription terms are not disclosed.

Traction

The company reports live deployments with Bosch (Bangalore boiler twin, delivered in four weeks), ABB (VSD and HVAC sales twin), Apollo Tyres (Limda tyre curing press operations twin), Capgemini's AIE Lab, SAP, Cyient, Power Grid, Port de Séville and Puerto de Alicante. Customer outcomes cited include 30-40% lower unplanned downtime. Recognition includes a Forbes Asia 30 Under 30 listing for the founder, winner of the ABB Startup Challenge India 2025, a Tracxn top-10 Indian digital twin startup ranking, TechCrunch coverage, the 2024 GATES Best Innovation Award, a Shark Tank Season 2 'Game Changers' appearance, and a MoneyControl report of 5x sales growth in the year after the Shark Tank appearance.
