Parablu builds secure, enterprise-class data management solutions. The startup has created a solution stack and has forged an unique integration with Microsoft 365 and Google G-Suite that makes it easier and less expensive for enterprises to adopt its solutions, said a statement.

"Data is the most important currency for companies irrespective of size. Parablu provides a highly secure data management solution for companies across the globe.

The company has a strong lead-generation and business development team in India and with the fund raise it is poised to build teams of similar strength in the US. During these times of work from home, the need for secure data management has grown exponentially. Parablu has won businesses from large conglomerates and displaced well-funded competitors. We look forward to being a part of Parablu's next phase in their growth journey," said Ankur Mittal, co-founder of Inflection Point Ventures.

We are looking forward to an exciting ride together as we continue to build and expand the business into new markets," said Anand Prahlad, president and CEO of Parablu.

With increasing data privacy and compliance requirements, the demand for secure data management platforms is growing rapidly.
