Vecton AI, an AI transformation partner focused on financial institutions, has raised Rs 6 crore in a pre-seed funding round led by Zeropearl VC, with participation from other investors.
The proceeds will be used to accelerate the development of enterprise-ready AI solutions, strengthen its Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) model, expand its presence across the banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) sector, improve customer experiences, and support decision-making, Vecton AI said in a press release.
Founded last year by Himanshu Goyal and Gaurav Mandlecha, Vecton AI works with financial institutions to build production-ready and compliant AI and autonomous agent systems. The Bengaluru-based startup serves mid-market and enterprise BFSI customers, helping them move AI projects from proof-of-concept to production.
The startup focuses on the gap between AI experimentation and real-world implementation. It works with enterprise teams to identify business use cases, build customised AI solutions and deploy them in live production environments.
Its Forward Deployed Engineer model is designed to align AI solutions with business priorities, operational requirements and enterprise goals. The approach is aimed at helping organisations move beyond proof-of-concept projects and deploy AI in operational workflows.
Vecton AI claims to work exclusively with mid-market and enterprise financial institutions and currently has 10 customers, including several publicly listed companies. Its AI solutions are deployed in live production environments across these customers.
The funding comes as investors continue to back AI applications focused on financial services. Recent funding activity includes Navanc, which raised Rs 10.5 crore in a pre-Series A round to build AI-native banking infrastructure. AI-powered investment platform Kalpi has also raised early-stage funding.
At the broader ecosystem level, Indian fintech startups raised $935.5 million across 10 deals in June 2026. The funding activity has also extended to startups building AI solutions for banks, insurers, lenders and other BFSI institutions, with areas such as automation, compliance and enterprise decision-making attracting investor interest.
