Billionaire Dan Loeb's Third Point hedge fund has invested in Fractal Analytics, a leading AI solutions provider in India valued at $250 million. The company, which specialises in machine learning, deep learning and natural language processing, has been growing at 50% year-on-year with clients including major Indian corporations. Loeb's investment comes as India's AI market is expected to reach $15 billion by 2025, according to NASSCOM, with the banking and financial services sector leading adoption. Fractal develops customised AI solutions including fraud detection, customer segmentation and predictive maintenance. However, some analysts have raised concerns about Fractal's valuation, which stands at 30 times earnings per share. Short interest in the stock has reached 10%, up from 5% the previous quarter, according to Spectrem Research.
