Haircare brand &Done raises $3 Mn in Series A led by RTP Global Haircare brand &Done has raised $3 million in a Series A round at a post-money valuation of Rs 125 crore, led by RTP Global. The round also saw participation from All In Capital, Suashish, and angel investors Kitty Agarwal, along with Kunal Bahl and Rohit Bansal, co-founders of Titan Capital. The fresh capital will be used to scale research and product development, expand the team, grow its salon network, and invest in brand building, the company said. Founded in 2023 by Saumya Yadav and Atit Jain, &Done is a premium professional haircare brand focused on science-backed products designed specifically for Indian hair types and climatic conditions. The brand works with global formulation partners and salons to develop products tested in real Indian environments, following a salon-first business model. &Done aims to address key challenges faced by Indian salons, where imported products are often designed for temperate climates and Caucasian hair, while domestic alternatives lack high-performance formulations. Its products use globally sourced active ingredients and are tested with Indian consumers and professional stylists. The brand’s professional range is available across 500+ premium salons in Delhi NCR, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, and Hyderabad. It currently offers four professional SKUs and two retail products, sold online and offline, with multiple launches planned for 2026. &Done said it has served 15,000 customers through its website, 35,000 via marketplaces, and has a presence in over 500 salons. The brand competes with players such as Olaplex, Nexxus, Redken, and Moxie.

Kluisz.ai raises $9.6 Mn in seed round led by RTP Global Enterprise AI infra startup Kluisz.ai has raised $9.6 million in a seed round led by RTP Global, making it one of the largest seed fundraises for an AI-focused deeptech company out of India in 2025 so far. The round also saw participation from Unicorn India Ventures, Blume Founders Fund, Climber Capital, and several strategic angels, including Oyo’s Ritesh Agarwal, Innov8’s Ritesh Malik, Aditya Virwani of Embassy Group, and others. Founded earlier this year by former Oyo COO and CPO Abhinav Sinha, ex-McKinsey partner Vamshidhar Reddy, and former Jio cloud executive Abhijeet Singh, Kluisz.ai is building a developer-first AI-native private cloud platform for enterprise use cases. The product aims to orchestrate AI workloads across hybrid, on-premise, edge, and sovereign cloud environments, with embedded security, observability, and automation. Kluisz.ai allows developers to define performance, compliance, or cost objectives while the platform auto-manages deployment and execution across infrastructure stacks. According to the company, the fresh proceeds will be used to scale the core engineering team in Bengaluru, accelerate product development, and onboard early design partners. The startup is initially targeting sectors like BFSI, manufacturing, and regulated industries with edge-heavy infrastructure. For RTP Global, this marks a deeper bet on AI infra emerging out of India. “Kluisz.ai is taking on a highly complex, globally relevant problem with a team that has done this at scale before,” said Madhur Makkar, Partner at RTP Global. The startup currently employs under 20 people and plans to expand rapidly over the next 12–18 months.
