This makes Detect -- the first technology start-up which was part of the Shell E4 programme to sign a global framework agreement with Shell.
Shell Ventures has signed an investment agreement to further the company's growth, a company statement said here.
"We appreciate Shell's continued confidence in Detect. To have the world's top energy companies sign a global agreement investing in Detect is a strong show of faith in our trajectory," Detect Technologies, CEO and Co-Founder Daniel Raj David said.
"This is a testament to our mission of driving change through AI and advanced technologies to create a safer and more efficient industrial world," he said. T-Pulse is a ready-to-use and commercially centralised technology.
