Kluisz.ai, an AI and deep tech-powered cloud startup, announced on July 23 a seed funding round of $9.6 million, which was primarily led by RTP Global, an early-stage venture capital firm with a global presence.
This funding round also included contributions from Unicorn India Ventures, Blume Founders Fund, Climber Capital, and several angel investors, including Ritesh Agarwal of Oyo, Ritesh Malik of Innov8, and Aditya Virwani of the Embassy Group.
According to Gartner’s projections, by 2027, 90% of companies will be operating workloads in hybrid cloud environments. However, many CIOs still encounter difficulties with private cloud infrastructures, often due to challenges such as limited automation, inadequate visibility, and complex manual processes, the company said in a press release.
“We’re reimagining the private cloud for the AI era, automated, intelligent and secure from day one. We are building the first intent-driven, AI-orchestrated cloud for the next decade of enterprise workloads where every layer, from silicon to software, is optimised for performance, policy, and security without manual intervention”, said Abhinav Sinha, co-founder and CEO of Kluisz.ai.
Kluisz.ai enables teams to set goals related to performance, cost, and compliance, with the platform intelligently managing the deployment and infrastructure. Its user-friendly interface, enhanced observability, integrated security, and AI-driven orchestration simplify the complex task of managing cloud workloads in real-time.
The initial application of this product targets sectors such as banking and financial services, manufacturing, and organisations with significant edge use cases.
The company said that the capital raised will be utilised to grow the engineering team in Bengaluru, accelerate product development, and support deployments with early clients.
Bhaskar Majumdar, managing partner at Unicorn India Ventures, said, “Kluisz.ai is taking the enterprises in the direction of AI-led high-performance businesses. Their AI-deployed cloud management, which helps large teams to stay on top of the game while being secure and compliant, is a game-changing offering.”
