AI research startup Redrob secures $10 Mn in Series A round Redrob aims to democratize access to AI in India by offering free, unlimited LLM access to students, targeting a core market of 300 million learners, along with professionals and enterprises, particularly in HR and sales. AI research startup Redrob has secured $10 million in a Series A funding round led by Korea Investment Partners, with participation from KB Investment, Kiwoom Investment, Korea Development Bank Capital, Daekyo Investment, and DS & Partners. This round brings Redrob’s total funding to $14 million, including a $4 million seed round raised in 2023. According to the company, the new capital will be used to build its ML architecture aimed at reducing costs by 50x, develop India-focused language models across all 22 constitutionally recognized languages, and expand its AI suite for learning, career development, and workplace productivity. Founded in 2018 by Felix Kim, Redrob offers an AI-driven outbound intelligence platform that combines natural-language search with data from more than 19 sources. Its PeopleSearch tool provides access to over 700 million global professional profiles, supporting lead generation, intent filtering, and outreach. Redrob plans several initiatives, including free Redrob LLM access for all Indian universities in Q1 2026, ongoing discussions with the Ministry of Education for wider student access, an enterprise suite for SMBs and startups, and full multi-language support by the end of 2026. The company said these efforts will strengthen the reach of its AI Suite, particularly PeopleSearch, which helps identify high-intent accounts and decision-makers with data-backed accuracy. “We want every Indian student to have free access to premium AI tools. Today, high-end AI models cost so much that they remain out of reach for most people in India and other emerging markets. Redrob’s breakthroughs deliver significant cost reductions through advanced ML techniques, enabling high-quality performance at a fraction of the cost,” said Kartikey Handa, Chief Operating Officer and head of India operations.

Blue collar recruitment platform Vahan raises $10 Mn in Series B
Medial

Blue collar recruitment platform Vahan.ai has raised $10 million in its Series B funding round led by Khosla Ventures. The round also saw participation from Y Combinator, US-based VC firm Gaingels, and Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma. In September 2021, the Bengaluru-based startup had raised $8 million in a Series A round led by Khosla Ventures. Vahan was a part of Airtel’s Startup Accelerator Program and the telecom giant also picked up an 8.82% stake in the Madhav Krishna-led firm in October 2019. The fresh funds will be used to develop AI recruitment technology that supports eight major Indian languages, Vahan said in a press release. Currently, Vahan’s AI recruiter conducts interviews in English and Hindi. It also plans to expand into industries such as manufacturing and retail. Since its launch in 2016, Vahan claims to have recruited over 500,000 workers in more than 480 cities with leading companies such as Zomato, Swiggy, Flipkart, Zepto, Blinkit, Amazon, Rapido, and Uber. With over 25,000 recruits each month, Vahan reduces costs and turnaround time for recruitment. For the fiscal year ending March 2023, Vahan reported Rs 29.7 crore in operating revenue with a loss of Rs 17.71 crore. While the firm has yet to file its annual report for FY24, it expects to grow 2X or more in FY25. In the blue-collar recruitment sector, Vahan had faced initial competition from the likes of Baba Jobs and Aasaan Jobs. However, both struggled to grow and eventually merged with Quikr and OLX in 2017 and 2019, respectively. Tiger Global-backed Apna, which became a unicorn in 2021, emerged as a major competitor after the pandemic.
