Genovation Technological Solutions Pvt. Ltd., a deep tech startup based in India, has successfully raised $150,000 in a pre-seed funding round, valuing the company at $6 million. The round saw participation from six individual investors and one overseas institutional investor, signaling strong belief in the company’s AI first vision.

Founded in 2021 by AI expert Anurita Das, who began her career at NASA, Genovation is building India’s first affordable, privacy first Agentic AI platform. Its flagship product, Mentis, is designed to bring advanced AI capabilities to businesses at a fraction of the global cost up to 15x cheaper than platforms like OpenAI or Claude.

The funds will be used to scale the team, accelerate product development, and invest in cutting edge R&D. Genovation also plans to grow its market presence across sectors such as defence, healthcare, manufacturing, and finance.

Unlike traditional generative AI tools, Mentis operates fully offline, on premise, or in cloud settings with no external API dependencies making it a privacy centric solution. It interprets natural language queries with precision, delivers citation backed answers, and generates actionable insights and visual reports.
