Scikiq has raised $1.5 million (around Rs 14 crore) in its maiden funding round led by Triton Investment Advisors as the company looks to expand its global presence and strengthen its artificial intelligence capabilities.
The AI startup said the newly raised capital will primarily be used for international expansion, sales and marketing initiatives, and further product development.
Founded as an AI-native enterprise intelligence platform, SCIKIQ helps organisations unify, manage, and operationalise enterprise data for AI-driven analytics and decision-making.
The company plans to strengthen its footprint in key global markets including the United States, the United Kingdom, and the UAE by setting up local offices, building regional teams, and investing in leadership roles focused on sales and go-to-market operations.
A portion of the funding will also be used to enhance the SCIKIQ Data Platform with advanced AI and data capabilities aimed at improving enterprise intelligence solutions for businesses.
Speaking about the funding, Gaurav Shinh said the investment comes at a crucial time as enterprise AI adoption continues to accelerate globally.
According to him, the fresh capital will help the company speed up product innovation, strengthen its AI infrastructure, and support international expansion efforts.
SCIKIQ currently serves clients across multiple sectors including BFSI, retail, airlines, manufacturing, supply chain, and healthcare, where organisations are increasingly adopting AI-powered data platforms to improve operational efficiency and business intelligence.
The funding reflects growing investor interest in enterprise AI startups as businesses worldwide continue to invest heavily in automation, analytics, and AI-driven decision-making technologies.
