- Cautio raised ₹11 Cr in seed funding to expand its AI-powered dashcam technology across India.
- The startup helps fleet operators improve safety with real-time insights and 24/7 monitoring.
- Trusted by Cityflo, Namma Yatri, and others, it operates in 35+ Indian cities.
In a country where potholes dodge repair crews better and honking feels like a second language, a quiet revolution is unfolding - one that sees with AI eyes and speaks only when it must.
Cautio, a dashcam startup founded in 2023 by Ankit Acharya and Pranjal Nadhani, has raised ₹11 Cr in seed funding. The round was led by 9Unicorns, Venture Catalysts, Antler India, Infinyte Club, MeitY via PIEDS-BITS Pilani, and even CARS24 founders. (Gajendra Jangid and Vikram Chopra)
But let’s not call this "just another funding update," since it’s pitching accountability on four wheels.
“Proactive safety” isn’t a phrase one often hears from Indian fleet operators. Yet Cautio claims it is working closely with them to rewrite this narrative: 'Stop accidents before they happen, protect drivers before they’re blamed.'
They're operating in over 35 cities, with data spanning 50 crore location points, and are already being used by players like Shoffr, Namma Yatri, and Cityflo. And in a nation where fleet drivers are often blamed before being heard, this could be the seatbelt the system’s been missing.
It’s conscience-on-the-dashboard. The one that doesn’t flinch, doesn’t forget, and never looks away.
