Automation Anywhere is an American global software company that develops robotic process automation (RPA) and agentic process automation software.[1]

Founded in 2003, the company is headquartered in San Jose, California.

History

[edit]

Automation Anywhere was originally founded as Tethys Solutions, LLC[2] in San Jose, by Mihir Shukla, Neeti Mehta Shukla, Ankur Kothari and Rushabh Parmani. The company rebranded itself as Automation Anywhere, Inc. in 2010.[3]

As of early 2021, the company reported some 2,800 client firms around the world. Customers cited in 2020 included Volkswagen, Whirlpool, and other organizations.[4]

Between 2018 and 2019, Automation Anywhere received a total of $840 million in Series A and Series B investments at a post-money valuation of $6.9 billion. In 2018 the company announced a total of Series A investments of $550 million from General Atlantic, Goldman Sachs, NEA, World Innovation Lab, SoftBank Investment Advisers, and Workday Ventures.[5][6] In late 2019, a Series B round, led by Salesforce Ventures, raised $290 million.[3]

In 2019, the company acquired Klevops, a privately owned company based in Paris that works in the finance, banking and telecommunications industries.[7]

In December 2021, Automation Anywhere announced it intends to acquire process discovery startup FortressIQ.[8]

In June 2024, Automation Anywhere introduced AI agents and an "AI + Automation Enterprise System," adding agentic and generative AI capabilities to its existing automation platform to expand the range of processes that can be automated.[9][10]

In November 2025, Automation Anywhere acquired Aisera, a provider of AI agents for IT service management, HR, and customer support. The acquisition broadened the company's agentic automation portfolio across enterprise service functions.[11][12][13]
