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.
