Consuma raises $1.3 Mn in seed round led by Equirus InnovateX Fund Consuma, a startup that aims to disrupt traditional research methods like surveys and focus-groups, has raised $1.3 million (about Rs 11.16 crore) in seed funding round led by Equirus InnovateX Fund, along with participation from prominent angel investors such as Abhishek Goyal, Mekin Maheshwari, Bhavik Dholakia, Harsh Shah, Arnav Kumar, Shiv Kapoor, Biswa Kalyan Rath, and several others. The Bengaluru-based startup had previously raised $200K in the same round from Expert DOJO and others. The proceeds will be allocated for technology development and market expansion - both domestically and globally, Consuma said in a press release. Launched in 2021 by Abhilash Madabhushi, Consuma is an AI startup that aims to revolutionize how brands conduct consumer research. By replacing traditional surveys and focus groups with AI-driven analysis of digital behaviour, Consuma enables brands to access faster, richer, and more cost-effective insights. “Consumers are changing faster than ever before, and brands need research methods that keep up with this rate of change. We are building technology to bring consumer research into the age of AI - driving differential insights in minutes, not months,” said Abhilash Madabhushi, founder of Consuma. According to Consuma, brands can perform research in 30 minutes instead of 2-3 months, at 1/10th the cost, all while analysing 1000x more data. In less than six months since its public launch, the company claims that it already works with over 35 global brands, including Godrej and Britannia.

This marks the company’s first institutional funding and was raised through a pure equity round. The proceeds will be used to accelerate R&D and product development of indigenous Czochralski (CZ) silicon ingot growth systems. The firm is initially focusing on building systems capable of producing 10–12 inch solar-grade silicon ingots, with a long-term roadmap toward semiconductor-grade wafers. Founded over a decade ago, Raana Semiconductors works on CZ-based crystal growth equipment and single-crystal materials. It develops and supplies turnkey silicon ingot growth systems, including installation, commissioning, and after-sales support, which are typically sourced from overseas suppliers. RSPL is currently the only private Indian company focused exclusively on CZ crystal growth equipment. The firm has worked with institutions such as BARC and IGCAR and has also executed projects under the Ministry of Defence’s iDEX programme. For FY26, the company has secured confirmed orders worth Rs 12 crore from government departments and national laboratories. Raana Semiconductors plans to commercialise its solar-grade CZ systems within the next 18 months, targeting large-scale silicon ingot production for domestic solar manufacturers.

**Equirus InnovateX Fund announces final close of B2B tech fund at Rs 166 Cr** Equirus InnovateX Fund (EIF), the early stage venture arm of the Equirus Group, has announced the final close of its maiden B2B tech fund at Rs 166 crore. The fund’s first close was announced in February 2024. According to EIF, it backs seed and pre-Series A companies building in deep tech, SaaS, and fintech, typically teams that are post-product and working toward product-market fit. The fund aims to partner with founders solving hard problems with clear distribution and defensibility, and who are building for long-term sustainability. The close attracted both domestic and global investors who bring operational experience and market access in addition to capital. EIF counts a number of founders and operators among its backers, including Girish Gaitonde, M.R. Jyothy, Dhimant Bhayani, Raj P., Shankar Vailaya, and Nitin Seth. The fund is led by Krishna Jha, Sunder Nookala, and Sadhika Agarwal, founders and investors with strong operational backgrounds, who are responsible for driving investments and managing the portfolio across the fund’s focus areas. EIF states that it has deployed over one-third of the corpus, backing seven startups from Fund I, with a target portfolio of up to 15 companies. Active investments include Pointo, Datazip, GreenStitch, CtrlB, Consuma AI, RSPL, and NeverInstall. The remaining capital is expected to be deployed over the next 12 to 18 months. Beyond capital, EIF partners with founders on enterprise access, regulatory navigation, senior hiring, and capital raising preparedness. The fund emphasises strong governance and long-term value creation. With the maiden fund now fully closed, it will focus on scaling its existing portfolio, selectively adding new companies, and deepening relationships with founders and long-term capital partners as it lays the groundwork for its next fund.
