Video analytics and enterprise safety company ASADEL Technologies Pvt. Ltd has raised an undisclosed amount from Dheeraj Jain, managing partner at venture capital firm Redcliffe Capital, in exchange for a 10% stake, a company statement said.

Founded in early 2015 by IT industry veteran Partha Guha Patra, the Delhi-based firm offers products that enable individuals and businesses to manage their safety and emergency needs. It helps improve the quality of response, investigations and intelligence gathering using predictive analytics based on location data records (LDR) and reconstructed images and videos from users’ mobile phones or CCTV cameras.

The company has also developed iSOSu, a personal emergency responder with a 24x7 command and control solution, and IMARECON, a smart image and video enhancer and reconstructor.

“We are adding deep-learning techniques to ensure our existing solutions achieve results with high accuracy in much less time,” said Patra.
