Redacto, an AI-driven privacy infrastructure company building the next generation of enterprise data governance systems, has raised ₹12 Crore in a seed round led by Peer Capital and Antler India, with participation from select angel investors. The funding will be used to strengthen Redacto’s AI capabilities, expand its product and engineering teams, and scale enterprise adoption across India.
The fundraise comes at a pivotal moment as India prepares to operationalise the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, a landmark law that will redefine how organisations collect, store, and use personal data. Redacto aims to help enterprises adapt to this new regulatory environment by turning privacy compliance into a strategic advantage built on trust and transparency.
Founded in 2025 by Shashank Karincheti and Amit Kumar, Redacto enables enterprises to automate privacy compliance, govern sensitive data, and enforce third party accountability through AI-powered automation. It counts several of India’s leading payment companies and NBFCs among its customers. The platform has already attracted strong interest from leading banks, fintechs, and insurance companies that are preparing for DPDP readiness and seeking scalable solutions that align with global standards such as GDPR and CCPA.
“The DPDP Act marks the beginning of a privacy-first era for Indian enterprises,” said Shashank Karincheti, Co-Founder & Chief Product Officer (CPO), Redacto. “Our goal is to make privacy practical, continuous, and scalable. Redacto is built to turn compliance into confidence and transform how organisations approach sensitive data responsibility.”
“AI isn’t just changing business—it’s redefining it. Data privacy architecture must evolve at the same pace,” said Amit Kumar, Co-Founder and CEO of Redacto. “As a full-stack data privacy company, our platform delivers intelligent, end-to-end data governance through AI-first automation, enabling enterprises to innovate without bearing the burden of compliance.”
Karthik Prabhakar, Managing Partner at PeerCapital, said, “Data in today’s digital world is exploding and residing in nooks and corners of enterprises. The critical need for Personal data protection and privacy has never been this acute. Redacto is positioned right at the heart of this inflection point. The team’s domain expertise in cybersecurity and enterprise technology gives them a unique edge in building scalable privacy infrastructure for the next decade.”
Redacto’s suite of AI-powered products brings together key privacy functions such as data discovery, consent management, vendor risk assessment, breach response, and regulatory reporting into one intelligent, unified system. Its modules include the Redacto Privacy Engine for automated data mapping and classification, Consent Flow for orchestrating user permissions, Vendor Shield for third-party risk monitoring, and Trust Centre for transparent compliance sharing. Together, these products enable enterprises to maintain a continuous, real-time view of their privacy posture while reducing operational effort and cost.
