This is Kannan’s first personal angel investment. The proceeds will be used to support product innovation and expansion into new categories.

Founded in 2020, Cuzor Labs focuses on building performance-driven, customer-centric products with in-house R&D and local manufacturing. Cuzor is known for the Mini UPS category with a 41% market share. The Pulse 70W features several industry-first innovations. It offers dual-port charging with up to 25% faster speeds when both ports are in use, LED indicators that show real-time charging status, and a two-year doorstep warranty. Powered by Navitas GaNSense Gen 4 IC, the charger combines high efficiency with low heat generation and strong durability. It supports protocols like PD 3.0, PPS, and QC3.0, making it a universal option for professionals who need fast, compact charging.

The round saw participation from D2C founders and operators, marking the brand’s first institutional raise.

Founded by Oxbow Brands, DOBRA is known for playful products such as pop goli soda, artisanal cotton candy, and tapioca crisps, which blend nostalgia with premium quality. Rahul Johar, co-founder of Oxbow Brands, said the funding is more than capital, it is an endorsement from entrepreneurs who have built category-defining consumer brands in India. “D2C Super Angels bring battle-tested insights that will help us scale faster,” he added. The brand aims to tap into India’s $170 billion FMCG market by offering differentiated, experience-led products that appeal to young, urban consumers. With this raise, DOBRA will strengthen operations, expand its product line, and deepen consumer trials, while laying the groundwork for international growth.

1Buy.AI raises Rs 32.5 Cr in seed round led by 100Unicorns Procurement and cost-reduction platform 1Buy.AI has raised Rs 32.5 crore in a seed funding round led by 100Unicorns along with participation from Ashish Kacholia, Gruhas, FJ Labs (USA), and other investors, including existing customers. The fresh funds will be deployed to accelerate the development of compliant, scalable SaaS platforms and expand global data pipes, 1Buy said in a press release. Co-founded in 2023 by Midas Touch founders Nitin Jain, Visham Sikand, and Pradeep Paliwal, 1Buy.AI is an AI-powered platform designed to help electronics companies reduce procurement costs, manage supply-chain risk, source intelligently, and liquidate excess inventory. The platform brings together data intelligence, sourcing execution, and liquidation workflows into a single, decision-grade system. The Delhi-based startup addresses under-served gaps in the global electronics ecosystem such as the lack of a unified, data-driven system for procurement decision-making and execution. It has launched a cutting-edge, AI-led platform that enables electronics manufacturing companies to achieve a 5–10 percent reduction in sourcing costs across active BOMs, often within the first few months of deployment. The platform operates across three integrated verticals including 1Data, an AI-powered cost reduction and intelligence layer, 1Source, an end-to-end sourcing platform, and 1Xcess, a structured marketplace for liquidation of excess and obsolete inventory. It claims that the solution has already gained strong traction, with several of the country’s largest electronics players onboarded as customers. According to 1Buy.AI, it is already working with large enterprises in India and international markets, delivering measurable outcomes, particularly in cost reduction and the execution of those savings. The platform enables procurement teams to move from reactive buying to proactive, controlled decision-making by integrating AI-driven market intelligence with supplier access and operational execution.
