Noida – TenseAi, a privacy-first automation agent that runs locally to automate end-to-end tasks, has closed an undisclosed angel funding round at a post-money valuation of ₹4 Crore, the company confirmed today. The fresh capital will accelerate product development, expand engineering and product teams, and support go-to-market efforts focused on enterprise and SMB pilots.
TenseAi’s core proposition is privacy and control: the agent is designed to run locally on users’ devices (or on-premises infrastructure), minimizing data exposure while orchestrating workflows across email, calendar, documents and collaboration tools. The platform emphasizes fully automated, end-to-end task execution so teams and individuals can get work done without constant context-switching.
Founders & leadership

- Deependra Maurya — Co-founder & COO
- Bhanu Paliwal — Co-founder & CTO
- Ashish Kumar — Chief Product Officer
Why this matters
Privacy-first automation solves two growing problems at once: organizations want the productivity gains of AI agents and automations, but they increasingly require data protection, compliance, and minimal cloud exposure. By focusing on local execution and end-to-end automation, TenseAi aims to serve customers who need powerful workflows without surrendering sensitive data to third-party cloud models.
Use of funds
TenseAi plans to allocate the newly raised capital toward:
- Hiring across engineering and product teams;
- Deepening local/edge model integrations and agentic workflow capabilities;
- Piloting paid deployments with enterprise and SMB customers and improving product reliability and observability.
