Bengaluru: Bengaluru-based deep tech startup Ctruh has raised $2.5 million in a seed funding round, taking the company’s total capital raised to date to $4.5 million.

With this fresh round of funding, Ctruh will further deepen investments in its core technology stack, including its browser-native 3D engine, VersaAI, and upcoming vertical product offerings for sectors such as real estate and automotive. At the same time, the company will focus on strengthening its international market presence in the US and UAE, both of which are emerging as high-growth markets for XR and spatial computing adoption.

We are building an infrastructure for the upcoming generation of digital experiences, where our goal is to create spatial experiences for every business, regardless of size and scale. This funding will accelerate our ability to do exactly that.”
