Point AI raises $5.3 Mn led by Yali Capital E-commerce service startup Point AI (formerly Try ND Buy) has raised $5.3 million in a funding round led by Yali Capital. According to an ET report, the funds will be used to enhance Point AI’s product offerings, expand customer acquisition, and support engineering and core operations. Point AI provides artificial-intelligence services to e-commerce companies, helping optimise conversion, reduce returns, and personalise shopping experiences. The platform integrates commerce-data, consumer behaviour signals, and supply-chain inputs into its AI models. The firm aims to work with online retailers, marketplaces, and brand-direct commerce firms. Point AI competes with other AI and analytics firms in e-commerce such as Criteo, Algonomy, and Fractal Analytics, offering a niche by specialising in commerce return-optimisation and pricing.

Yali Capital closes maiden deeptech fund at Rs 893 Cr Venture capital firm Yali Capital has closed its maiden deeptech focused fund at Rs 893 crore (about $103.2 million). Yali Capital had launched the early stage fund at Rs 810 crore in July last year to back startups operating in the deeptech sector. The fund intends to invest in startups across chip design, robotics, genomics, smart manufacturing, aerospace, and AI sectors, Yali Capital said in a press release. The VC firm has raised capital from corporates such as Infosys, Qualcomm Ventures, the DPIIT Fund of Funds for Startups, and Evolvence, among others. Additionally, TVS Capital founder Gopal Srinivasan, Rare Enterprises chief executive Utpal Sheth, and JM Financial’s managing director Vishal Kampani are among its notable investors. Launched by Ganapathy Subramaniam and Mathew Cyriac, Yali Capital is a SEBI approved Category II AIF and had initially set its target close to Rs 500 crore, with an additional greenshoe option of Rs 310 crore. “China is well ahead in the deeptech space and has overtaken America. India has all the potential, from services to deeptech, but certainly has much distance to cover,” said Ganapathy Subramaniam. Yali Capital has made five investments, including genomics startup 4baseCare, robotics startup Perceptyne Robots, and fabless chip design company C2i Semiconductors. It plans to expand its portfolio to eight companies by the end of the year.
