Marks a major step forward in applying predictive, data-driven decision-making across live construction projects in India

San Mateo, CA – April 28, 2026 – Slate Technologies, a leader in construction specific AI-powered software for data-driven project delivery, today announced a strategic partnership with DRA, a leading residential real estate developer in India. Through this collaboration, DRA becomes the first company in India’s residential real estate sector to deploy Slate’s AI-powered construction intelligence platform across active projects.

As construction projects increase in scale and complexity, traditional reporting systems are no longer sufficient to manage execution risk and maintain predictable delivery. Slate Technologies enables developers to move beyond reactive reporting by connecting fragmented project data, applying predictive insights, and delivering real-time visibility into project performance.

Through this partnership, DRA is integrating Slate’s platform across key construction functions, including project management, quality inspection, site monitoring, procurement optimization, workforce productivity, safety analytics, delay prediction, and real-time decision-making. A core capability of the platform is its ability to link quality workflows directly to project schedules, allowing teams to identify issues earlier, resolve them faster, and maintain greater consistency across execution.

The platform is currently deployed across DRA projects in Chennai, covering approximately 3.3 million square feet, supporting nearly 2,000 workers across construction sites and over 100 technical staff.

Commenting on this industry-first collaboration, Ranjeeth Rathod, Managing Director, DRA said, “At DRA, innovation must translate into customer value. I view this partnership with Slate Technologies as the beginning of Construction 2.0 in India’s residential real estate sector, where technology, multilingual coordination, predictive intelligence and execution discipline come together to deliver quality homes on time. As we continue to grow, building future-ready systems will remain central to how we create long-term value.”

Speaking about this milestone partnership, Senthil Kumar, Global Head of AI, Slate Technologies Inc. said, “The construction industry is approaching a moment of fundamental change, where traditional systems are no longer enough to manage growing project complexity. We are proud to partner with DRA to help lead this shift through AI-powered execution, enabling faster decisions, stronger predictability and better outcomes for all project stakeholders.”

A key differentiator of the implementation is Slate’s real-time multilingual communication capability, designed to support India’s diverse construction workforce. By enabling clearer communication and faster coordination across teams operating in multiple languages, the platform improves collaboration and reduces delays caused by misalignment in the field.

As DRA continues to expand, the adoption of intelligent operating systems reflects a long-term commitment to scalable processes, stronger governance, and improved execution consistency. The collaboration also marks a significant milestone in Slate Technologies’ expansion into the Indian market, highlighting the growing demand for AI-driven solutions across the real estate and construction sectors.
