Kluisz.ai raises $9.6 mn seed funding led by RTP Global

The round also saw participation from Unicorn India Ventures, Blume Founders Fund, Climber Capital and angels including Ritesh Agarwal, Dr Ritesh Malik and Aditya Virwani.

Kluisz.ai, a deep tech, GenAI-powered cloud start-up, has raised $9.6 million in a seed round led by RTP Global, a global early-stage VC. The round also saw participation from Unicorn India Ventures, Blume Founders Fund, Climber Capital and angels including Ritesh Agarwal, Dr Ritesh Malik and Aditya Virwani.

Founded in 2025 by Abhinav Sinha (Former Global COO & CPO at OYO, ex BCG), Vamshidhar Reddy (Former Partner at McKinsey, ex-AMD) and Abhijeet Singh (Former VP of Cloud at Jio, ex-AT&T), Kluisz.ai builds a secure, scalable cloud for the AI era — developer-first, open, with zero-trust security and full control across hybrid, on-prem, edge and sovereign deployments. 

The start-up will use the funding to expand the engineering team in Bengaluru, accelerate product development and support deployments with early customers.

“We’re reimagining the private cloud for the AI era—automated, intelligent and secure from day one. We are building the first intent-driven, AI-orchestrated cloud for the next decade of enterprise workloads where every layer—from silicon to software—is optimised for performance, policy and security without manual intervention”, said Abhinav Sinha, Co-founder and CEO of Kluisz.ai.  

By 2027, Gartner estimates that 90 per cent of enterprises will run workloads across hybrid cloud environments. Yet, most CIOs continue to face challenges with private cloud infrastructure —often due to limited automation, poor visibility and complex manual processes.  

“Abhinav, Vamshi and Abhijeet bring world-class experience and vision to this space. This is a team with deep technical experience and the product and market instinct to reimagine the private cloud in the AI era.  We’re excited to back them”, said Madhur Makkar, Principal at RTP Global.
