Scoutflo, an AI-powered DevOps startup, has raised Rs 1.4 crore in a pre-seed funding round led by 100X.VC and angel investors Arjun Pillai and Prasanna Venkatesan (ex-CTO, ZoomInfo India). The proceeds will be used to enhance its AI features, improve deployment automation, strengthen security, and expand into new markets. It also aims to form partnerships that will help grow its user base and add more useful integrations. Founded in 2024, Scoutflo helps developers deploy code and manage cloud infrastructure without relying heavily on DevOps teams. The platform uses artificial intelligence to automate deployment, fix issues, and ensure strong security and compliance. It supports multiple cloud services like AWS, GCP, Azure, and Civo, helping teams avoid being tied to a single provider. In many companies, one DevOps engineer supports around 20 developers, which often leads to bottlenecks. Scoutflo solves this with easy-to-use tools that give developers more control and speed. The platform works across major cloud services like AWS, GCP, Azure, and Civo. It is already trusted by fintech and edtech companies. The firm is working to make software deployment simpler and more efficient for teams of all sizes.
