- Onpoint
Led · Seed · Jul 2026
Onpoint operates a payment-agnostic rewards platform that lets users earn "Onpoints" when they purchase gift vouchers or shop with partner brands via its app, website or browser extension. Onpoints can be earned irrespective of the payment method and can be combined with existing credit card rewards and loyalty benefits. Users can redeem Onpoints across travel and loyalty programs such as Air India’s Maharaja Club, IndiGo BluChip and Flipkart SuperCoins, or for gift cards from more than 300 brands including Amazon Pay, Flipkart, Myntra and Uber. The company was founded in 2025 by Nakul Khanna and Anurag Gupta, former Meta employees, and the team includes talent from Meta, Google, Uber and Zeta. Onpoint intends to use newly raised capital to reinforce its product, grow its merchant network and expand its user base in India.
- Poindexter Labs
Led · Seed · Jun 2026
Poindexter Labs focuses on producing high-quality, expert-level training data for advanced AI models using collaborative workflows and peer review. Its proprietary platform, currently in beta, supports both in-house data production services and allows organisations to run collaborative workflows to generate and validate datasets. The company targets domain-specific, complex-reasoning tasks across fields such as mathematics, science, law, medicine, finance, and engineering. Poindexter highlights that many existing annotation workflows prioritise scale over collaborative knowledge creation, and it positions its methods as more academic—emphasising transparency and peer review. It serves enterprise and public-sector organisations and is building deeper relationships with frontier AI labs. The company intends to use its seed funding to scale the team and broaden platform adoption.
- Dubpro.ai
Participated · Seed · Mar 2024
Dubpro.ai offers advanced AI-driven dubbing solutions to help creators and companies localize video content. The platform combines artificial intelligence and human expertise to deliver high-quality localization of vernacular content that was previously unaffordable due to time-consuming and costly procedures. Human experts at Dubpro.ai perform more than ten quality checks with a focus on quality assurance, enabling realistic dubbing experiences at a scalable cost point. The company is building generative AI capabilities in Indic languages to expand access to video content across sectors from education to entertainment, according to founder and CEO Ishan Sharma. Founders Ishan Sharma and Rishikesh lead the company, which recently secured seed funding to support its product and expansion plans. Deepsync Technologies builds AI-driven tools that allow creators to replicate their voice to produce audio content significantly faster than manual recording, editing, and post-production. The startup says its technology enables content to be produced up to 10x faster, targeting creators in publishing, media, and advertising who use voice as a brand. Deepsync focuses on secure voice augmentation for creators to scale production without heavy equipment. Founded in December 2018, the company was a 2019 Tech 30 startup and is headquartered in Bengaluru. Deepsync plans to ramp up product development and expand its technology team to support broader adoption of its voice-generation platform. The company recently raised capital to expand business operations and accelerate its roadmap.
- Crux
Participated · Seed · Feb 2024
Founded in 2022 by Himank Jain, Atharva Padhye and Prabhat Singh, Crux develops an AI platform that lets software-as-a-service providers embed intelligent co-pilots within their applications. The system blends large language models with deterministic decision frameworks so the co-pilot can understand each client’s business context, KPIs and macro-trends. By doing so, Crux aims to deliver enterprise-grade, context-aware assistance that improves customer experience and internal support efficiency. The founders note they iterated through roughly 15 pivots before settling on the current product, underscoring a culture of rapid experimentation. Although the company is still in its early stages, it has attracted backing from Y Combinator, Neon Fund and several notable angel investors. The fresh seed capital positions Crux to continue product development and expand its footprint with SaaS customers. No revenue or user figures were disclosed in the article.
