By TechTaffy Desk

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) company Automation Anywhere has raised $300 million from the SoftBank Vision Fund.

“RPA is the most pervasive and frictionless path to delivering AI technologies across the enterprise, and is revolutionizing the way people work,” said Mihir Shukla, CEO and co-founder at Automation Anywhere. “Like the introduction of the PC, we see a world where every office employee will work alongside digital workers, amplifying human contributions. Today, employees must know how to use a PC and very soon employees will have to know how to build a bot.”

Automation Anywhere has raised $500 million to date.
