The round saw participation from existing investor Jindagi Live Angel Fund among other angel investors. Anshul Jhawar, Co-founder, ZillOut also participated in the round. The company has raised a total of 4.35 cr till date.

The fresh funds will be used to scale AI capabilities and automation efforts, technology development, business expansion, marketing,  and other operational needs, ZillOut said in a press release.

Co-founded in 2022 by Gaurav Sharma and Nayan Mishra, ZillOut is an AI platform for real-world experiences and venues. The platform combines venue operations infrastructure with AI-driven guest intelligence to help businesses optimize operations and provide personalized experiences.

The Bengaluru-based startup addresses critical pain points in India's fragmented going-out ecosystem where most venues and organisers juggle POS terminals, spreadsheets, booking apps, and third‑party promoters, resulting in slow operations, scattered data and insights, unnoticed revenue leaks, and confused high‑value guests.

The platform includes a three-layer approach - Infra, Data and Distribution woven into one AI‑driven thread that uplifts the end-to-end going-out. The startup plans to expand to Dubai and Southeast Asia. 

The company states that it has achieved  traction with over 150 venues onboarded across 20 cities including Goa, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, and Gurugram. The platform manages more than Rs 80 crore worth of transactions, facilitated over 6 lakh verified guest entries, and managed over 50,000 online bookings while helping venues save more than Rs 2 crore in revenue leakage.
