Zasti Inc., a health care-related artificial intelligence technology company, is investing $5.9 million to establish its U.S. headquarters in Loudoun County, creating 60 jobs, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam announced Thursday.
Founded in 2017 in India, Zasti, which is Sanskrit for “prediction,” develops AI-based risk screening, predictive analytics and climate change solutions for the health care industry. The company’s Loudoun-based headquarters will develop and embed its AI platforms in diagnostic devices and enterprise IT systems.
“Virginia represents a confluence of values given its workforce diversity, commitment to the environment and a strong academic research setting,” said Zasti CEO Krish R. Krishnan in a statement. “It is a great place for a transformative, vision-driven business like ours to thrive. Our AI platform offers valuable health risk screening and early disease detection for communities in need while creating low-carbon pathways for our stakeholders. With continued support from Loudoun County and Virginia, we hope to grow our workforce well beyond 60 jobs.”
