Company Connection Graph¶
Status: v1.0 (2026-08-02). Relationships as established in the study's company reports — only connections with evidence in the reports are drawn (no speculative edges). Split into five diagrams for readability: ownership/M&A, the AI/model layer, customer-side deployments, the Tata group cluster, and finally every company for which no relation was found (single nodes). Edge labels carry the relation and year where known.
1. Ownership, M&A and corporate restructuring¶
2. The AI / model layer — who rents, who owns, who partners¶
3. Customer-side deployments — who uses whose engineering technology¶
4. The Tata group cluster (one channel, many entities)¶
5. No relation found — single nodes¶
Companies encountered in the research with no evidenced connection to any other company in this index (screened ESPs, whitespace startups, excluded vendors and one-line appearances):
Reading notes¶
- Edge direction = provider → customer, acquirer → target, or investor → investee; dotted lines are sibling/pairing relations.
- The funded physics-AI generalists (Neural Concept, PhysicsX, Luminary, Monolith) sit in the singles diagram deliberately: they raised >$350M in 2025 but have no evidenced automotive-moulding relationship — that absence is itself a finding (the vacant warpage-surrogate seat — see the Startup Landscape note).
- sensXPERT and iMFLUX are marked defunct — the two cautionary tales of the in-process moulding-AI category.
