AI-powered cybersecurity startup Deep Algorithms has raised ₹16 crore in a pre-Series A funding round, led by Unicorn India Ventures. The round also saw participation from SB Investment (UAE), Prakash Govindan (CEO, Gradiant, USA), and Himanshu Singhal (CEO, inMorphis, India).
The company plans to use the fresh capital to expand into international markets, accelerate product development, and enhance its platform with next-generation AI-driven security capabilities.
Building AI-Driven Digital Trust and Identity Security
Founded in 2021, Deep Algorithms operates on a B2B model, offering enterprise-grade cybersecurity solutions focused on identity protection and threat detection. Its flagship platform, adapID-AI, is an adaptive behavioural intelligence engine that continuously analyses identity behaviour across systems. It helps detect compromised credentials, insider threats, lateral movement, and anomalous access patterns before exploitation occurs.
Advanced AI Tools for Threat Prevention
Another key offering, BotShield-AI, is designed to address zero-day threats, DDoS attacks, and runtime application protection. Its extended platform, BotShield AI CTEM, functions as an autonomous agentic AI system, capable of learning system environments, simulating adversarial behaviour, and deploying real-time defensive actions without human intervention.
Strong Customer Base Across BFSI and Enterprise
Deep Algorithms serves clients across BFSI, fintech, and enterprise sectors, including institutions such as Canara Bank, Karnataka Bank, DCB Bank, CSB, NCRTC, and BVH. The company is also engaged in ongoing discussions and proof-of-concept (POC) deployments with banks, defence organisations, and government entities.
Continued Investor Confidence and Growth Trajectory
This funding round follows the company’s earlier raise of ₹10.8 crore from Unicorn India Ventures, highlighting continued investor confidence in its AI-led cybersecurity approach. As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated, Deep Algorithms is positioning itself to address next-generation identity and digital trust challenges through autonomous, AI-driven solutions.
Leadership Quotes
Speaking on the announcement, JP Mishra, Founder and CEO says, “We have always seen identity as dynamic rather than static—defined by continuous behavioral signals. As threats evolve, particularly with the rise of agentic AI-driven attacks, behavior becomes the new fingerprint. Continuous monitoring of human–machine interactions is critical to securing the enterprise digital landscape. Agentic identity security is not just a capability—it represents the future of behavioral intelligence, and we are building the foundation for it.”
He further adds, Over the last 12 months, We have been on a strong growth recording 3X increase in closing ARR from FY25 to FY26 and we expect this to increase 20X by FY 2027. As we continue to scale, we are also preparing to announce the launch of our adapID AI CIRM Platform for Agentic Identity, a first-of-its-kind solution purpose-built for the age of AI agents”.
Commenting on leading the round, Anil Joshi, Managing Partner, Unicorn India Ventures says,“Cybersecurity-as-a-service is witnessing increasing demand as threat actors evolve and raise the stakes with AI and agentic AI. Recognising the urgency for action, Deep Algorithms is building products that address a growing enterprise blind spot—establishing trust, control, and accountability for autonomous agents through context-aware behavioural identity, enabling secure and governed AI-driven operations.”
