India, Nov. 2 -- Pronto founder Anjali Sardana's physical AI venture Provision Labs has acquired Mumbai-based hardware startup Basilisk Industries for an undisclosed sum.

Basilisk founder Shourya Watwani will lead Provision's hardware efforts and work on its in-house post-processing models, Sardana said in a LinkedIn post announcing the acquisition.

Founded by Watwani in 2023, Basilisk focused on perception technologies, which help machines interpret their surroundings.

According to Sardana, Watwani and his team have already developed a 3D hand-tracking model, redesigned Provision's perception hardware, and built the first version of a lightweight tactile glove to capture touch-related data.
