Dunzo Co-Founder Mukund Jha to Fund AI Quality Assurance Startup with $6-10 Million

Mukund Jha, co-founder of the popular quick commerce startup Dunzo, is reportedly closing a funding round of INR 50-80 crore for his new General Artificial Intelligence venture. Jha had stepped down from Dunzo last year to pursue new opportunities.

His latest startup will utilize AI and SaaS platforms to enhance quality assurance checks for different products and services. Quality assurance testing ensures products meet standards and any errors are detected before public release. By automating these processes through artificial intelligence, quality and reliability can be improved while reducing time and costs compared to manual testing.

The funding is expected to come from Together Fund, an early-stage venture capital firm that has previously invested in over 20 Indian companies across sectors like recruitment, sales intelligence, education and healthcare technology. If finalized, this infusion of capital between $6-10 million would be one of Together Fund’s largest deals to date.

Jha has many years of experience working with AI and machine learning, having previously served as CTO at Dunzo and held roles at major tech companies like Google. This deep technical expertise will be a major asset for his new venture, which is aiming to advance how businesses of all kinds certify the quality of their offerings through integrating AI automation.

It’s an opportune time for such a startup focused on new applications of AI, as rapid digital transformation across industries is creating growing demand for tools that augment operations using advanced technologies. With his proven track record and a strong backer like Together Fund, Jha seems well positioned to tap into this opportunity and drive innovation in the QA automation space.
