Bengaluru-based deep-tech startup Ctruh has raised $2.5 million in a seed funding round led by Inflection Point Ventures, marking a fresh push for India’s growing spatial internet and XR ecosystem. The round also saw participation from Avinya Ventures, India Accelerator, Founder’s Avenue, Anthill Ventures, LVX, and angel investors Vivek Sinha and Shivakumar Ganesan.
At the heart of Ctruh’s work is a simple but ambitious idea: businesses should not need large engineering teams, expensive hardware, bulky SDKs, or app downloads to create and run immersive 3D experiences. The company is building a browser-native, no-code and low-code 3D engine designed to make high-quality immersive content accessible across devices.
The fresh capital will be used for R&D, product development, and expansion of its go-to-market efforts in the United States and the UAE in 2026.
Ctruh’s stack includes its proprietary 3D engine and VersaAI, an in-house generative AI platform that converts images, text, and video into production-ready 3D assets. Its first industry-focused product, Commverse Studio, is positioned as an AI-powered unified XR commerce studio that enables brands to deploy immersive 3D experiences in under 30 minutes.
Founder and CEO Vinay Agastya said the company’s focus has been to make advanced technology more accessible for businesses. “We are building an infrastructure for the upcoming generation of digital experiences, where our goal is to create spatial experiences for every business, regardless of size and scale,” he said.
Speaking on the development, Vinay Bansal, CEO & Co-Founder, IPV says, “While the AI Space continues to get increasingly crowded, Ctruh is cutting through the noise with a strong technical differentiation. Its patented 3D engine enables high-fidelity 4K, 8K, and even 16K experiences to run smoothly on the web with fast load times.
Ctruh has also gained wider visibility through Shark Tank India Season 5, where it received an offer from Anupam Mittal and Vineeta Singh. The startup has been named an ELEVATE 2025 winner by the Government of Karnataka, won the Aegis Graham Bell Award 2025 for Innovation in Immersive Experience, and is part of the NSRCEL IIM Bangalore and LeapFWD Accelerator Program ecosystems.
For Ctruh, the bigger play is not just 3D content creation. It is about building the infrastructure layer for a future where commerce, education, real estate, healthcare, automotive, and retail experiences can move beyond flat screens without becoming too costly or technically difficult for businesses.
Headquartered in Bengaluru, the company currently has a team of 36. Agastya brings experience across customer success, partnerships, and growth, with earlier roles at Swiggy, Food Mingo, Genie Bazar, Scapic, Exotel, and Unacademy.
