CtrlB raises $2.5 Mn in seed round led by Chiratae Ventures

Unified data platform CtrlB has raised $2.5 million in a seed round led by Chiratae Ventures, with participation from Equirus, InnovateX Fund, Campus Fund, and Point One Capital. 

The proceeds will be used to scale its unified diskless data lake platform, accelerate R&D, file patents for its indexing and compression technology, and secure SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications.

CtrlB will expand operations across India and the United States and increase its team size to 50–60 members across distributed systems, DevOps, solution architecture, and sales. The company plans to deepen partnerships in the cloud and DevOps ecosystem and strengthen customer success to drive faster enterprise adoption.

Founded in 2023 by Adarsh Srivastava, CtrlB unifies logs, metrics, traces, and security events into a single observability engine built on cloud object storage. The platform uses one-touch ingestion, high-speed indexing, and compression technology designed to reduce storage cost and improve telemetry retention.

The company plans to target over fifty enterprise customers in the next eighteen months across logistics, fintech, ecommerce, and SaaS, and aims to expand into adjacent markets including APM and log analytics. 

CtrlB is preparing a platform upgrade that includes a new interface, dashboards, and a correlation engine, while also strengthening cloud partnerships. The company’s model is built around lowering observability cost and increasing search and ingestion performance for engineering and security teams.
