AI startup Cekura, founded by IIT Bombay alumni, announced on Thursday that it will establish an office in India after raising USD 2.4 million.
Cekura specializes in building a testing and observability platform for voice and chat AI, allowing teams to simulate large-scale conversations, monitor live interactions, and extract actionable insights.
Co-founder Sidhant Kabra stated that their solution has significantly cut down testing time from weeks to just minutes. This efficiency has helped the startup onboard over 75 customers within a year of incubation at Y Combinator (YC), the renowned US-based startup accelerator.
“Funds will be utilised to hire more engineers and to scale to more enterprise customers. Funds will also be used to open our India office in Bangalore (apart from our existing HQ in the US). We have a team in India. We already have customers in India such as Prodigal, Nurix, Skit,” he said.
With fresh funding and growing demand for its AI testing solutions, Cekura is now gearing up to strengthen its global presence, starting with its expansion into the Indian market—marking a significant milestone in its growth journey.
