Vecton AI raises Rs 6 Cr pre-seed led by Zeropearl VC

Vecton AI has raised Rs 6 crore in a pre-seed round led by Zeropearl VC. Other investors took part, and Entrackr did not name them. The valuation was not disclosed.

The Bengaluru company was founded last year by Himanshu Goyal and Gaurav Mandlecha. It describes itself as an AI transformation partner for financial institutions, building production-ready and compliant AI and autonomous agent systems for the BFSI sector. It says it works with 10 customers, several of them publicly listed companies. The money is going into enterprise-ready AI products, strengthening its forward deployed engineer model, and expanding across BFSI.

This is not an ecommerce story and there is no point pretending otherwise. Vecton sells to banks and insurers. Nothing in the round touches a D2C supply chain, a marketplace or a checkout flow.

What is worth reading is the cheque size. Rs 6 crore is a real pre-seed in India in 2026, into a company barely a year old with no disclosed valuation. Entrackr’s own comparison in the same piece is Navanc, at Rs 10.5 crore. Set that Rs 6 crore to Rs 10.5 crore band against Indian fintech startups raising $935.5 million across 10 deals in June 2026. The big rounds and the first rounds are not on the same ladder, and the gap between them has not closed.

The practical read for anyone at the earliest stage is about sequencing. Vecton had 10 customers, including listed ones, before the pre-seed closed. That is the bar a first institutional cheque is being set against now. If you are pre-revenue and waiting on a pre-seed to fund your first customer, this round ran the other way round. Revenue evidence came first, and the money followed it.
