Data security startup Matters.AI has raised ₹55 crore to pioneer a new category of system called the AI Security Engineer — a self-learning system that predicts, prevents, and autonomously responds to data threats across Cloud, SaaS, Endpoints, and On-Prem environments.

Matters.AI’s platform combines real-time data tracing, data lineage mapping, GenAI governance across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot, and native integrations with Zoho, Snowflake, Salesforce, AWS, Azure, GCP, and Databricks.

The funds will help accelerate R&D in predictive detection, expand operations in India and the US, and strengthen teams supporting regulated industries under the DPDP framework.

*“India has built rockets, payments, and software for the world, now we’re building to protect it,” said* [*Keshava Murthy*](https://www.linkedin.com/in/keshava-murthy-k/?ref=theleftshift.com)*, CEO & Co-Founder. “The world doesn’t need another dashboard screaming alerts; it needs a system that can think. That’s Matters.AI, the AI Security Engineer that never sleeps.”*

As privacy regulations tighten and AI adoption accelerates, Matters.AI is positioning itself as the control layer for intelligent, autonomous data protection, built in Bharat and trusted globally.

*“Our system reasons like a human engineer, learning from how people and data interact, predicting misuse, and responding autonomously,” added* [*Harsh Sahu*](https://www.linkedin.com/in/harsh-sahu-446916a4/?ref=theleftshift.com)*, CTO & Co-Founder.*

The ₹42 crore seed round was co-led by Kalaari Capital and Endiya Partners, with participation from Better Capital, Carya Venture Partners, and prominent cybersecurity angels. The earlier ₹13 crore pre-seed round was led by Better Capital and Carya Venture Partners.

*“Matters unifies discovery, lineage, and intent-aware controls into one policy plane so organisations can prevent data exfiltration while cutting alert noise,”* [*Sateesh Andra*](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sateeshandra/?ref=theleftshift.com)*, Managing Director at Endiya Partners, said.*
