Noida, Nov. 1, 2025 – TenseAi, a Noida-based startup building privacy-first desktop automation and meeting-assistant tools, has closed an angel funding round that values the company at ₹4 crore, the firm confirmed on Saturday. The round names angel investor Mr. Nitin Sadana; the size of the cheque is undisclosed.
Founded in December 2024 and publicly launched in May 2025, TenseAi is led by co-founders Ayush Maurya (CEO), Deependra Maurya (COO), Bhanu Paliwal(CTO), and Ashish Kumar(CPO). The startup positions its product as a local-first automation agent that runs primarily on users’ devices to reduce cloud exposure of sensitive information while helping professionals automate repetitive desktop tasks and gain real-time assistance during meetings.
TenseAi said it has picked up meaningful early traction in its first seven months: roughly 20,000 unique users, of whom 600 are premium subscribers and 350 are repeat premium users. The company reports an overall retention rate of 87%, handles 50,000+ automation commands per month, has processed 8,000+ customer feedback entries, and records ₹3 lakh in monthly recurring revenue. TenseAi also highlighted a reported 110% month-over-month growth and said about 70% of its professional users are non-coders drawn from marketing, operations, and analytics teams, as well as developers.
Company officials said the fresh capital will be used to accelerate product development, deepen integrations with workplace tools, and step up customer acquisition and support. By leaning into on-device processing, the startup aims to appeal to teams and professionals who prioritize data control while adopting AI-powered productivity tooling.
Industry observers place TenseAi’s announcement in the context of rising investor interest in AI productivity tools that emphasize privacy and edge processing. While the ₹4 crore valuation reflects an early-stage milestone rather than a late-stage expansion, the combination of an active user base, healthy retention, and initial monetization gives the company runway to iterate on product-market fit and explore team or enterprise offerings.
Founded to help professionals automate repetitive desktop tasks and provide real-time meeting assistance while keeping data local, TenseAi said the fresh capital will be used to accelerate product development and expand customer acquisition. The company positions its product as a local-first automation agent that minimizes cloud exposure of sensitive data.
TenseAi reimagines work as a quiet covenant between human intent and machine attention, where on-device intelligence preserves the sanctuary of private thought while weaving effortless automations into daily rituals; it teaches tools to be invisible partners, anticipates friction before it arrives, and frees curiosity from repetitive labor, so people can sculpt meaning, not menial tasks – this is not mere efficiency but a promise that technology will amplify human flourishing without surrendering ownership of our data, a future where productivity is gentle, sovereign, and luminous, and every action feels like an extension of deliberate purpose-an ethical dawn, quietly coded into being.
