- Blurgs AI
Led · Seed · Jul 2026
Blurgs AI builds AI-powered operational-intelligence platforms that deliver real-time monitoring, regulatory compliance support, threat detection and performance improvements for maritime and security customers. Its platforms serve commercial maritime sectors—ports, shipyards, shipping and fisheries—as well as defense and national-security users, offering continuous situational awareness and adversary monitoring. The company counts users such as the Indian Navy, Indian Coast Guard, Bharat Electronics, DRDO, Mumbai Port Trust, Dubai Maritime City and The Nature Conservancy, and notably established this customer network prior to taking institutional investment. Founders Roshon Raj Mohanty (CEO) and Dr. Avinash Kori (Chief Scientist, PhD Imperial College London) lead the technology and strategic direction. Post-financing, Blurgs intends to invest in its core AI stack, scale headcount, improve product offerings for maritime-commercial use cases, and expand operations into international markets. The company's recent $2.2M raise is intended to support both commercial product development and enhanced capabilities for security-sector deployments.

Its platform offers asset allocation, investment oversight, consolidated reporting, tax-efficient structuring, succession and estate planning, governance, philanthropy, real assets, alternatives, and long-term wealth stewardship. The company follows an advisory-first approach to help clients navigate geographies, managers, products, structures, and asset classes with a focus on long-term wealth preservation and growth. CREST plans to use its $3.1 million pre-seed proceeds to strengthen its technology platform, expand its family office and investment teams, enhance regulatory and compliance capabilities, and build out its asset management offerings.

- Flexprice
Led · Seed · Jun 2026
Flexprice provides open-source billing infrastructure designed for AI-native and API-first companies, supporting billing across API calls, token usage, GPU hours, and hybrid pricing models. Founded in 2024 and headquartered in New Delhi, the company also operates teams in Bengaluru and San Francisco. Flexprice reported rapid traction: revenue grew 6x in the last quarter and event processing volume rose 20x year-over-year to more than 20 billion events per month. The startup plans to expand into the US and Europe and to broaden its product suite beyond billing to include metering, revenue recognition, and financial reporting tools. The recent $1.5 million seed raise led by Shastra VC will fund those expansion and product development efforts.
- AGNIT Semiconductors
Led · Seed · Mar 2026
AGNIT Semiconductors develops and manufactures gallium nitride (GaN) materials (wafers) and electronic components primarily aimed at radio-frequency applications. The firm was founded in 2019 and is based in Bengaluru. It plans to scale production to 100,000 GaN components over the next two years and expand into telecom infrastructure and high-efficiency power semiconductor devices. AGNIT previously explored building components for electric vehicles but has paused those efforts to focus on markets with stronger demand for GaN technology. Financially, the company has raised over $7 million to date, including a $3.5 million seed round in 2024 and a $2.6 million seed extension led by Shastra VC. The startup's work centers on both GaN wafers and finished electronic components for RF use cases.
