Mint Kolkata
|August 25, 2025
RTP Global has led a $3 mn seed round in Trupeer AI and invested $9.6 mn in cloud infrastructure startup Kluisz.ai
Early-stage investors are eager to make larger and riskier bets on quick commerce and consumer-focused artificial intelligence (AI) tools in India, underscoring optimism in the growth prospects of these sectors, a top executive at venture investment firm RTP Global said.
With bigger cheques and higher stakes, these investors are diving in early—betting boldly, watching quietly and waiting to see how the gamble plays out, Nishit Garg, partner at RTP Global's Asia operations, told Mint in an interview.
"Quick commerce and AI are the hype sectors in India today. These sectors are commanding bigger rounds and ticket sizes as well as higher valuations," Garg added.
