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

History

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][5]

The company's 2,100+ partner relationships [6] include collaborations with Microsoft, Google, and Amazon Web Services to advance intelligent automation,[7] and with Salesforce, to help its customers automate their front-office business processes.[3] In early 2021, the company had 110+ customers who are also partners.

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.[8][9] 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.[10]

In December 2021, Automation Anywhere announced it intends to acquire process discovery startup FortressIQ.[11]

Automation Anywhere's co-founder, Neeti Mehta Shukla, received the Women's Entrepreneurship Day Organization’s Technology Pioneer Award at the United Nations in 2022.[12]
