Bangalore-based AI-powered video telematics startup Cautio has raised ₹11 crore in its ongoing seed round.
The company saw funding participation from notable investors, including 9Unicorns, Venture Catalysts, Antler India, Infinyte Club, CARS24 founders Vikram Chopra and Gajendra Jangid, and the Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) through PIEDS-BITS Pilani.
The company plans to use the funds to strengthen its R&D capabilities and further scale its technology. Cautio’s platform is designed to bring real-time intelligence to fleet operations, transforming road safety across India.
“With AI-driven video telematics, we are changing this narrative. We are giving fleet operators, drivers, and passengers a chance to be safer, more responsible, and more accountable on the road,” said Ankit Acharya, co-founder and CEO of Cautio.
Since its inception, Cautio has enabled over 300,00,000 km of safe travel and safeguarded more than 16 lakh trips. Its technology has helped reduce risks, enhance accountability, and optimise fleet operations.
Today, it serves leading mobility and logistics providers such as Shoffr, Euro Cars, Namma Yatri, IITs, and Cityflo, operating across 35+ cities in India. The platform has already delivered over 50 crore location data points through its APIs.
Investors see Cautio as more than a data company. “Cautio goes beyond just data collection; it transforms insights into action, improving driver behaviour, enhancing safety, and laying the foundation for autonomous mobility,” said Nitin Sharma, partner at Antler.
Similarly, CARS24 founders added, “In India, road safety isn’t broken because we lack vehicles or infrastructure. It’s broken because accountability is almost invisible. Cautio’s AI tackles this problem head-on.”
With this funding, Cautio aims to expand its technology across India, strengthen its AI capabilities, and work closely with fleets to build a proactive safety culture.
