Matters.AI, an AI-native data security startup, has raised Rs 55 crore in a funding round co-led by Kalaari Capital and Endiya Partners, with additional participation from Better Capital, Carya Venture Partners, and several leading cybersecurity investors.
The company plans to use the funds to accelerate research and development in predictive detection, expand its market presence in India and the United States, and strengthen its engineering and customer success teams. These efforts aim to support regulated industries operating under the DPDP framework.
Keshava Murthy, CEO and Co-founder of Matters.AI, said, “India has built rockets, payments, and softwares for the world, now we’re building to protect it. 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.”
Adding to this, Harsh Sahu, CTO and Co-founder, explained, “Our system reasons like a human engineer, learning from how people and data interact, predicting misuse, and responding autonomously.”
Sharing his perspective, Sateesh Andra, Managing Director at Endiya Partners, said, “Security teams tell us their biggest gap is between visibility and enforcement. Matters unifies discovery, lineage, and intent-aware controls into a single policy plane so organisations can prevent data exfiltration across cloud, SaaS, endpoints, and AI tools.”
Sampath, Partner at Kalaari Capital, noted, “As privacy regulations tighten worldwide and AI adoption accelerates, enterprises face an urgent need for intelligent, autonomous data protection. Matters.AI is building the control layer for this new reality.”
With this funding, Matters.AI aims to strengthen its position as a key innovator in AI-powered data protection, focusing on building intelligent and autonomous systems that enhance security in an increasingly digital and interconnected world.
