What happened? New Delhi based enterprise AI startup, ByteEdge, raised USD 1.5 million in a funding round. The round was led by Japan’s TRTL Ventures, with participation from a group of global and Indian angel investors. 

Who are they?  Founded in 2022 by Kamal Dutta and Akash Gupt, ByteEdge is an AI powered full stack b2B SaaS solution. It allows  businesses to transform their legacy organizational knowledge to immersive mobile video experiences to uplift people and ecosystem.

What’s next? With the funding, It plans to use the capital to deepen its product development and expand operations across India. Most importantly, it aims to accelerate its expansion of the US and the Middle East. To do so, ByteEdge aims to raise USD 3 million in additional funding within the next couple of months. 

” The biggest challenge in the Middle East is that there is no platform in those countries that can provide this kind of information in the local Arabic language, especially in video format. So we see a big potential there. The same applies to the US, which is generally a much larger market for this,” said Akash Gupt, cofounder of ByteEdge.

Why does this matter? Through this, the startup aims to tackle the challenge of how to meaningfully deliver information to deskless workers. This matters as deskless workers form most of the global workforce but are often left out of traditional knowledge-sharing formats. Thus, it converts corporate documents into short, cinematic multilingual videos. 

“The challenge that organisations face today is that all organisational knowledge exists in text documents—PDFs, Word files, PowerPoint, and so on. Since this knowledge is stored in such formats, when it is delivered to the workforce—especially the frontline, where 70% of employees are deskless—it often goes unread and misunderstood.” said Akash Gupt, cofounder of ByteEdge.
