Unbound’s $4M seed round validates how Indian founders are building the infrastructure that makes AI adoption safe and scalable for global enterprises!

What is the news?

  • Unbound, co-founded by Indian entrepreneurs Rajaram Srinivasan and Vignesh Subbiah, has raised $4 million in seed funding led by Race Capital, with participation from Wayfinder Ventures, Y Combinator, Massive Tech Ventures and angel investors. The San Francisco-based startup focuses on AI governance and data privacy solutions.

Why is it interesting?

  • The AI governance industry is projected to grow from $890M to $5.8B by 2029 (over 45% annual growth). Unbound is positioned perfectly in this high-growth space with their platform that enables enterprises to safely deploy AI tools while preventing data leaks; they’ve already prevented 7,000+ potential data breaches for clients.
  • With early enterprise customers like The Hut Group already using their platform to “roll out AI tools with confidence,” this Indian founding team demonstrates how homegrown technical leadership is building the critical infrastructure that global businesses need to adopt AI at scale. This is exactly the kind of B2B enterprise play where Indian founders excel, solving complex, high-stakes problems for multinational corporations.
