The decisions that used to need years to finalize are now being closed in just a quarter. We have worked hard to keep up with the growing demand," said co-founder Ankit.

The Bengaluru-based company said it will deploy the fresh funds AI research, product enhancement and sales team expansion to address the surge in demand from global and India clients.

"This fundraise is a timely boost in our efforts to scale up our AI capabilities and to tap an ever-widening global market opportunity," said Ankit.

We are delighted to support this exceptional team as they broaden their product portfolio and accelerate global expansion."
