Origa SaaS Startup Raises $450K Pre-Seed
SaaS startup Origa has secured $450,000 in a pre-seed funding round. The investment demonstrates continued appetite from early-stage investors for B2B SaaS ventures in the Indian startup ecosystem.
The funding round was led by Antler Singapore, a global early-stage VC that has recently committed to backing founders with a strong focus on verticalized AI. This investment in Origa signals a clear thesis on the enterprise adoption of AI for core business functions. Angel investors with experience at tech giants like Uber, SpaceX, and Salesforce also participated, bringing valuable scale-up expertise to the table. Founded in 2024 by Himanshu Geed, Shubham Garg, and Sunil Jain, Origa is tackling complex, consultative pre-sales conversations for high-value B2C sectors. The capital infusion is earmarked for expanding their engineering team and deepening product capabilities, with a focus on scaling operations across India and the UAE. From a technical standpoint, Origa's platform is built on a comprehensive cloud infrastructure designed for security and performance at scale. It's engineered to handle over 100,000 concurrent calls and processes more than 570,000 minutes of conversations monthly. The core AI is trained on over one million business conversations, enabling it to maintain context across 50 conversation turns with sub-800 millisecond latency. For developers, Origa provides an advanced API framework for integration with existing CRM and telephony systems. The company offers API documentation with technical specifications and runtime examples in Python, Node.js, and Shell, indicating a focus on developer experience for customized implementations. This allows enterprises and other SaaS platforms to deploy Origa's voice AI as a white-label solution. Origa's fundraising reflects a broader trend in the Indian startup ecosystem, where AI-focused SaaS companies are attracting significant early-stage investment. Despite a challenging market, investors are showing a strong appetite for startups that are verticalizing AI to solve specific industry pain points. The company has demonstrated significant traction, reporting a 12x increase in revenue over the last nine months. It currently serves over 33 customers across India, the UAE, Malaysia, and the US, with no reported customer churn, a strong indicator of product-market fit in its target high-value sectors like real estate, education, and financial services.
