- Startup aims to redefine data security using AI driven prediction and automation.
AI native data security startup MattersAI has raised Rs 55 crore in a funding round co-led by Kalaari Capital and Endiya Partners, with participation from Better Capital, Carya Venture Partners, and several cybersecurity focused angel investors.
Founded by Keshava Murthy, Harsh Sahu, and Dhiraj Khare, the Bengaluru-based startup plans to use the funds to enhance its R&D in predictive threat detection, grow its go-to-market operations in India and the US, and strengthen its engineering and customer success teams.
MattersAI takes a fresh approach to data security by creating an AI native platform that thinks and reacts like an engineer. Instead of just alerting after a breach, it uses semantic graphs and predictive models to understand how users interact with data and intervenes before issues arise.
The platform unifies multiple security layers like DSPM, Insider Risk, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), and Exfiltration Defense into one intelligent system. This helps security teams get real-time insights across endpoints, cloud, SaaS platforms, and generative AI tools, all under a single control plane.

Commenting on the vision, Keshava Murthy, CEO of MattersAI, said, “We’re not just building another alerting tool. MattersAI is an AI Security Engineer that never sleeps”. The company is positioning itself as a key solution for enterprises dealing with tighter data regulations like India’s DPDP Act and increasing use of AI tools.
