Companies across sectors have begun using services provided by these startups for various functions, with a particular focus on reducing supply chain inefficiencies and costs, and actionable data. Last month, Flixstock India Pvt. Ltd, which runs a fashion-focussed image technology startup, raised $2.5 million (approximately Rs 18.10 crore). The funding round was led by Wavemaker Partners, an early-stage venture capital firm based in Los Angeles and Singapore. Also last month, the ISTAR Skill Development Pvt. Ltd-operated Salesken raised $8 million (around Rs 59 crore) from Sequoia Capital India as part of its Series A funding round. The deal also involved a secondary component that paved the way for the partial exits of existing investors Unitus Ventures and the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation (MSDF). In February, the Mumbai-based Triton Investment Advisors invested in CamCom , a deep learning-based startup focussed on quality assessment, defect and damage detection. In January, field service automation startup Zinier Inc. raised $90 million (around Rs 638.52 crore) in a Series C funding round led by the US-based investment management firm ICONIQ Capital.
