AI-Powered Security Startup Plans Global Expansion and Growth of Bengaluru Engineering Hub
San Francisco/Bengaluru: AI-native physical security startup Coram AI has secured $35 million in Series B funding, bringing its total funding to $66 million. The investment round was co-led by Ansa Capital and Battery Ventures, with participation from existing investors UP.Partners, 8VC, and Mosaic Ventures.
The fresh capital will help Coram AI accelerate product innovation, expand its artificial intelligence capabilities, strengthen customer support operations, and significantly grow its engineering team in India as demand for AI-driven security solutions continues to rise globally.
Coram AI Expands Presence in Growing Physical Security Market
Coram AI is positioning itself at the intersection of artificial intelligence and physical security, helping organizations modernize traditional surveillance and monitoring systems through advanced automation.
The company plans to invest heavily in:
- AI product development
- Software engineering
- Research and innovation
- Customer success operations
- Sales and marketing
- Global market expansion
As part of its growth strategy, Coram AI will increase hiring across multiple functions, with Bengaluru expected to play a key role in its engineering and technology development efforts.
Founded by Former Autonomous Vehicle Experts
Coram AI was founded by Ashesh Jain, an IIT Delhi alumnus, and Peter Ondruska, both of whom bring extensive experience in artificial intelligence and autonomous systems.
The founders previously worked on self-driving vehicle technologies, applying similar AI principles to transform how organizations manage physical security operations.
According to the company, the same advanced machine learning and computer vision technologies used in autonomous vehicles can help security teams identify threats, monitor environments, and respond to incidents more efficiently.
AI Platform Modernizes Security Infrastructure
Coram AI's platform integrates multiple security systems into a single intelligent interface, including:
- Video surveillance systems
- Access control solutions
- Visitor management platforms
- Emergency response operations
One of the company's key advantages is that organizations can deploy the platform using their existing security infrastructure without needing to replace cameras or hardware.
This approach helps businesses modernize security operations while reducing implementation costs.
Strong Growth Drives Investor Confidence
The latest funding round follows a period of rapid growth for the company.
According to Coram AI, the startup has:
- Quadrupled its revenue since its previous funding round
- Tripled its customer base in the last year
- Expanded operations across North America
- Increased adoption among enterprise and public-sector organizations
The company currently supports more than 1,500 locations across the United States and Canada, serving a diverse range of customers.
Its client portfolio includes:
- Fortune 500 companies
- Educational institutions
- Healthcare organizations
- Manufacturing facilities
- Municipal governments
The growing demand reflects a broader industry shift toward AI-powered security systems capable of delivering real-time insights and automated threat detection.
New AI Capability Aims to Revolutionize Investigations
Alongside the funding announcement, Coram AI unveiled Deep Investigation, a new artificial intelligence-powered feature designed to streamline complex security investigations.
The system uses autonomous AI agents to analyze:
- Surveillance video footage
- Access control records
- Visitor logs
- Activity across multiple locations
By automatically processing large volumes of security data, the technology can significantly reduce investigation times.
According to the company, tasks that previously required hours, days, or even weeks of manual review can now be completed within minutes.
AI Reshaping the Future of Physical Security
Speaking about the company's vision, CEO Ashesh Jain highlighted the limitations of traditional security systems, which often require manual investigation after an incident occurs.
He noted that modern AI technologies can help organizations move from reactive security to proactive risk detection and response.
As businesses increasingly seek smarter and more scalable security solutions, AI-powered platforms like Coram AI are emerging as critical tools for protecting people, assets, and infrastructure.
Growing Demand for AI Security Solutions
The physical security industry is undergoing a significant transformation as organizations adopt artificial intelligence to improve operational efficiency, reduce response times, and enhance situational awareness.
Advancements in:
- Computer vision
- Machine learning
- Autonomous AI agents
- Predictive analytics
are enabling security teams to identify risks earlier and make faster, data-driven decisions.
With fresh funding, expanding customer adoption, and continued investment in innovation, Coram AI is well-positioned to become a major player in the rapidly growing AI-powered security technology market.
The company's latest funding round highlights increasing investor confidence in AI-native platforms that combine automation, intelligence, and real-world operational impact.
