India, April 28th, 2026: Findability Sciences, the SoftBank-backed Enterprise AI company, today launched LactaAI™, an industrial intelligence platform purpose-built for dairy and whey processing plants. Depending on plant scale and product mix, LactaAI™ is designed to help large dairy operations unlock between INR 2.35 crore and INR 28.2 crore in annual value per plant, through yield improvements of 0.5 to 1.5 percentage points, energy intensity reductions of 5 to 10 percent in evaporation and drying, and shorter decision cycles across operations and finance.
“Dairy plants do not need more dashboards. They need decision-ready intelligence,” said Anand Mahurkar, Founder and CEO of Findability Sciences. “In a high-volume dairy operation, even a one percentage-point yield improvement creates major financial impact. LactaAI is built to convert plant data into the operating decisions that produce those gains.”
India’s dairy sector is among the largest and most strategically important in the world, yet most plants generate millions of signals daily across milk intake, production, quality, utilities, and business systems that never reach a decision. LactaAI is designed to close that gap by answering three questions in real time: what is happening, why it is happening, and what to adjust.
Two products on a single platform. LactaAI brings together two integrated capabilities:
Lacta Insight™ delivers real-time process intelligence across milk reception, evaporation, drying, packaging, and utilities. It helps processors move from reactive firefighting to predictive and optimized plant performance. Lacta Insight Prime is built for fluid milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and cultured dairy. Lacta Insight Nexus is built for advanced whey processing including WPC, WPI, lactose, permeate, and MPC.
Lacta BPC™ is a conversational AI layer that sits above the enterprise technology stack and answers complex operational and business questions in natural language. It reads across ERP, MES, LIMS, and BI platforms, reconciles the data, applies business logic, and returns sourced answers with supporting analysis.
The platform integrates with existing plant and enterprise systems — PLC, SCADA, DCS, process historians, MES, ERP, LIMS, and BI — without requiring core system replacement.
“AI in dairy cannot remain a pilot-room conversation,” Mahurkar added. “It has to work inside the plant, where variability, energy costs, yield pressure, and downtime risk are real. LactaAI is Applied AI for the economics of dairy processing.”
