ByteEdge, a New Delhi-based AI knowledge transfer platform, has raised $1.5 million in a seed funding round led by Japan’s TRTL Ventures. The investment round also attracted participation from a mix of global and Indian angel investors, signaling strong international confidence in ByteEdge’s AI-driven approach to corporate learning and knowledge dissemination.
Founded in 2022 by Kamal Dutta and Akash Gupt, ByteEdge was created to tackle a longstanding challenge in the corporate world—effectively disseminating organizational knowledge. In many companies, critical information is buried in lengthy and text-heavy formats such as PDFs, Word documents, and PowerPoint presentations, making it difficult for employees, especially those on the frontlines, to access and absorb.
ByteEdge’s innovative platform addresses this issue by converting static documents into cinematic, multilingual short videos that are engaging and easy to understand. This approach is particularly impactful for frontline employees—who represent nearly 70% of the global workforce and typically operate without desks or regular access to computers—ensuring they receive and retain key information in a more accessible format.
The newly acquired funds will be utilized for product development and expansion within the Indian market. Currently, 80-85% of ByteEdge’s business is based in India, serving over 30 global enterprises.
Looking ahead, ByteEdge is gearing up to raise an additional $3 million over the next four to five months as part of its strategic plan to accelerate global expansion. The upcoming funding will support the company’s entry into key international markets, with a strong focus on the United States and the Middle East, where demand for scalable and engaging corporate learning solutions is rapidly growing.
