QuickReply.ai, a startup that offers an end-to-end WhatsApp engagement tool for direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands and online stores, has announced that it has raised $1.14 million in a seed funding round. The funding was led by Leo Capital, which invested $0.75 million, while other investors including Pentathlon Ventures, GSF, Deepak Diwakar, Azhar Iqubal, and Dinesh Agarwal also participated in the funding round.

Founded in 2021 by Himanshu Gupta and Hridayesh Gupta, QuickReply.ai plans to use the capital to strengthen its proposition and drive innovation at a faster pace, according to Himanshu Gupta, the startup’s CEO.
