Bengaluru | August, 2025 — Two Indian-origin AI startups are making global headlines after securing a combined $65 million in early stage funding, signalling strong investor confidence in India’s next wave of AI innovation.
Funding Snapshot
- GigaML: Raised $40 million at a $350 million valuation, led by returning and new global investors. The company currently operates at an annual recurring revenue (ARR) of $1–3 million.
- Atomicwork: Raised $25 million, led by Khosla Ventures, with a valuation of $120 million and ARR of $1.2 million.
What They Do
- GigaML offers secure, on-premise deployment of enterprise-grade large language models (LLMs). Designed for industries like finance, healthcare, and government, its platform ensures data privacy while enabling customised AI capabilities for large scale organisations.
- Atomicwork positions itself as an AI-native alternative to traditional service desks, using agentic AI to streamline IT operations, automate workflows, and improve employee productivity.
Why It Matters
While both companies have relatively modest revenue today, investors are betting big on vision, product differentiation, and global scalability rather than short-term returns. This reflects a growing trend where India-born founders are building global-first AI infrastructure instead of just targeting domestic markets.
The Road Ahead
With the fresh capital, both startups are expected to invest heavily in R&D, expand their enterprise customer base, and strengthen global go-to-market strategies. For India’s startup ecosystem, this is another sign that AI-led innovation is moving from product demos to production-grade enterprise deployments.
