Ctruh Secures $2.5 Million in Seed Funding to Revolutionize 3D Content Creation
Bengaluru, April 30, 2026: Ctruh, a deep-tech startup from Bengaluru, has raised $2.5 million in seed funding led by Inflection Point Ventures. This innovative company is focused on making 3D content creation easier on the web using its own 3D engine and an in-house generative AI engine called VersaAI. The funds will be used to enhance research and development, build its products, and expand its market presence in the United States and UAE by 2026.
Ctruh has gained considerable attention after appearing on Shark Tank India (Season 5), where it received investment offers from Anupam Mittal, the CEO of People Group, and Vineeta Singh, co-founder of SUGAR Cosmetics. This exposure has helped Ctruh build its reputation in the industry, as it has been named a winner in various prestigious awards and recognized on platforms like JioHotstar and Forbes’ Select 200 Companies list.
Vinay Bansal, CEO and Co-Founder of Inflection Point Ventures, commented, “In a crowded AI market, Ctruh stands out due to its unique technology. Their patented 3D engine enables fast and high-quality experiences directly in the browser, making immersive technology accessible for businesses of all sizes.”
Ctruh’s CEO, Vinay Agastya, shared that their mission is to make advanced technology more available for businesses looking for innovative solutions. He remarked, “We want to create digital experiences that any business can adopt, no matter their scale. This funding will help us get there even faster.”
The rise of augmented reality (AR) and extended reality (XR) products is becoming a significant trend, with AR expected to drive up to 94% higher conversions for retailers. By 2026, 80% of stores are predicted to adopt AR technologies. This shift shows a growing interest in AI-powered, browser-native platforms.
For more than ten years, creating 3D and XR experiences has been complex and costly, typically reserved for large companies. Ctruh aims to change that with its easy-to-use, browser-native 3D engine that allows immersive experiences to be created without extensive technical skills, specialized hardware, or lengthy installations.
Additionally, Ctruh is launching industry-specific applications, including Commverse Studio, a groundbreaking platform that lets brands create immersive 3D experiences quickly. Its AI engine, VersaAI, streamlines the process of transforming images and text into 3D assets, reducing the time needed for 3D modeling dramatically.
With a small team of 36, Ctruh is preparing to expand its operations internationally, targeting the United States and UAE this year. Vinay Agastya, with nearly a decade of experience in customer success and partnerships, leads the company.
As the XR market continues to grow, projected to reach $346 billion by 2026, Ctruh is well-positioned to be a key player in this booming industry. India, specifically, is becoming a fast-growing market, expected to see its XR market value jump significantly by 2027.
