Redacto, an AI-driven privacy infrastructure company, has raised Rs 120 million in a seed round led by PeerCapital and Antler India, with participation from select angel investors. The funding will enhance Redacto’s AI capabilities, expand its product and engineering teams, and scale enterprise adoption across India. 

 The announcement comes as India prepares to operationalise the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, which will redefine how organisations manage personal data. Redacto’s platform enables enterprises to automate privacy compliance, govern sensitive data, and ensure third-party accountability through AI-powered automation. 

 Founded in 2025 by Shashank Karincheti and Amit Kumar, Redacto already counts leading payment companies and NBFCs among its customers and is gaining traction with banks, fintechs, and insurers preparing for DPDP readiness. 

 “The DPDP Act marks the beginning of a privacy-first era for Indian enterprises,” said Shashank Karincheti, Co-Founder & Chief Product Officer, Redacto. “Our goal is to make privacy practical, continuous, and scalable. Redacto is built to turn compliance into confidence and transform how organisations approach sensitive data responsibility.” 

“AI isn't just changing business—it’s redefining it. Data privacy architecture must evolve at the same pace,” added Amit Kumar, Co-Founder and CEO, Redacto. “As a full-stack data privacy company, our platform delivers intelligent, end-to-end data governance through AI-first automation, enabling enterprises to innovate without bearing the burden of compliance.” 

 Karthik Prabhakar, Managing Partner at PeerCapital, said: “Data in today’s digital world is exploding and residing in nooks and corners of enterprises. The critical need for personal data protection and privacy has never been this acute. Redacto is positioned right at the heart of this inflection point. The team’s domain expertise in cybersecurity and enterprise technology gives them a unique edge in building scalable privacy infrastructure for the next decade.” 

Redacto’s AI suite integrates data discovery, consent management, vendor risk assessment, breach response, and regulatory reporting into one unified platform. Its modules include the Redacto Privacy Engine for automated data mapping, ConsentFlow for user permissions, VendorShield for third-party monitoring, and TrustCentre for transparent compliance sharing—enabling enterprises to maintain real-time privacy visibility while cutting operational costs.
