We are looking for strategic partnerships in other regions as well. We look forward to working with our new investors, who bring in their necessary expertise to help the company scale up," said Vishal Bajpai, founder and CEO of SecureThings.ai.

The multi-layer solution they are developing will have wide-ranging impacts in the automotive sector in the years to come. Coupled with the large-scale adoption of IoT that is expected shortly and the regulatory push by authorities worldwide, we believe that SecureThings has a huge potential," said Venkat Vallabhaneni, managing partner, Inflexor Ventures.

SecureThings.ai offers end-to-end solutions through its five-pronged approach for vehicle security: detection, response, recovery, identification, and protection.
