Zaperon raises Rs 7 crore in a seed round led by Inflection Point Ventures for enterprise cybersecurity
1 October 2026: Zaperon, an Indian cybersecurity company founded in 2021, has raised Rs 7 crore, which the company's own post puts at approximately $750K, in a seed round led by Inflection Point Ventures (IPV), Entrackr reported on 1 October 2026, citing a company press release.
Not yet independently verified. The company's own post of 1 October 2026 gives the round as approximately $750K, led by Inflection Point Ventures; Entrackr's Rs 7 crore is the press figure, and no other investors are named. We will update this when it can be confirmed, and remove this note.
The round
According to Entrackr, the Rs 7 crore seed round was led by Inflection Point Ventures, an angel investment network. No other investors are named in the report. Zaperon said, according to the report, that it will use the funds to advance its product capabilities, launch enterprise-grade AI security frameworks, and expand its presence in India and the United States.
What the company does
Zaperon was founded by Vineet Gupta and Sachin Aggarwal and builds products intended to protect enterprises from data breaches. Entrackr describes a platform-based approach that lets an organisation secure its IT estate from one place, covering identity, data and, increasingly, the governance of AI tools used inside the business. The plan to add AI security frameworks reflects demand from companies that now need to control what data employees share with AI assistants.
Why it matters for buyers
India's enterprise cybersecurity market is crowded, and seed-stage vendors compete with established global suites. For a buyer, a small vendor can mean more attention and a better price, but also more dependence on one product team. The planned US expansion also matters to Indian customers: a vendor that grows abroad may change its priorities, support hours or data hosting.
What to check
- Which of its products are generally available today and which are planned.
- Where customer data and logs are stored, and whether Indian data residency is offered.
- Certifications held (for example ISO 27001 or SOC 2) and recent independent testing.
- How it integrates with your existing identity provider and security tools.
- Support commitments and what happens to your deployment if the company is acquired.
