Automation Anywhere
Enterprise automation platform provider offering RPA and intelligent document processing with AI-powered agentic solutions for autonomous business processes.
Overview
Founded in 2003 by Mihir Shukla, Neeti Mehta Shukla, Ankur Kothari, and Rushabh Parmani as Tethys Solutions (rebranded to Automation Anywhere in 2010), the company is headquartered in San Jose, California. With over 2,800 client firms globally and $1.049B in total funding, Automation Anywhere has evolved from traditional RPA to Agentic Process Automation, being recognized as one of the "Seven Wonders of AI" in July 2025.
In July 2025, the company became one of the first vendors in AWS Marketplace's AI Agents category, launching four enterprise AI agents for financial analysis, content generation, sentiment analysis, and talent scouting. The company integrated Amazon Nova Act SDK into its Process Reasoning Engine and NVIDIA Nemotron reasoning models in August 2025.
In November 2025, Automation Anywhere acquired Aisera, an AI-powered service management platform, to enhance autonomous enterprise capabilities. Most recently in January 2026, the company announced a strategic partnership with OpenAI and is reportedly in merger discussions with C3.AI for a path to public markets.
