Indian cybersecurity innovation is making its mark globally, with Cloudsek’s $19M funding round demonstrating how homegrown tech is disrupting a space traditionally dominated by US and Israeli firms. At GIA, we’re excited to see another Indian startup successfully exporting world-class security solutions while maintaining cash flow positivity!
What is the news?
- Cloudsek has raised $19 million in a fresh funding round led by Tenacity Ventures and Commvault, with participation from Inflexor Ventures, MassMutual Ventures, Prana Ventures, and strategic investors.
- Founded in 2015 by Rahul Sasi, Cloudsek’s AI-backed platform with 18 applications offers predictive cybersecurity solutions that identify attack vectors before they become incidents, rather than responding after breaches occur.
Why is it interesting?
- With over 60% of its net new revenue coming from international markets and the US emerging as its fastest-growing region, Cloudsek exemplifies the India-to-global success story we champion at GIA.
- As cyberattacks increasingly become AI-orchestrated, Cloudsek is positioning Indian tech at the forefront of next-generation cyber defense solutions, serving 250+ customers, including Fortune 500 companies, while growing 70% year-on-year and maintaining positive cash flow.
