In a landmark development for India’s cybersecurity and AI ecosystem, Hyderabad and Mumbai-based startup Deep Algorithm Solutions has raised ₹10.8 crore in seed funding, signaling a new era in behavioral intelligence-driven security for the digital world.
Solving Modern Fraud with AI-Powered Biometrics
Founded in December 2021 by JP Mishra, Deep Algorithm aims to redefine how digital platforms prevent fraud and protect identity. Their flagship innovation, adapIDAI, is a cutting-edge behavioral intelligence engine that authenticates users in real time based on how they interact with devices—tracking keystrokes, screen pressure, touch dynamics, and motion behavior.
This is not just another login tool—it’s a defense mechanism deeply rooted in how humans behave online.
Complementing this is BotShield, a runtime protection product offering advanced defense against zero-day threats, bots, DDoS attacks, and credential stuffing—addressing key vulnerabilities in banking, healthcare, and government ecosystems. Home
“We are solving some of the most critical and nuanced problems in digital identity security using indigenous AI,” says JP Mishra, CEO and founder.
Who’s Backing Them?
The funding round was led by Unicorn India Ventures, with participation from high-net-worth individuals and cybersecurity-focused angel investors.
“In our rapidly evolving world, cyberattacks are more frequent and dangerous. Deep Algorithm has demonstrated a strong product-market fit and the technical depth to lead India’s cyber defense future,” said Anil Joshi, Managing Partner at Unicorn India Ventures.
Where the Funds Are Going
The ₹10.8 crore infusion will be used strategically to:
- Scale AI engineering and threat intelligence teams
- Accelerate enterprise onboarding across India and Southeast Asia
- Deepen integrations with platforms like Azure AD, Okta, and Workplace
- Launch a mid-market SaaS product with fraud analytics dashboards
- File international patents and expand their agentic AI research
With clients like a leading private sector bank, NCRTC, and a major hospital, the company has already demonstrated deployment readiness across critical sectors.
Scaling Beyond Borders
Deep Algorithm isn’t limiting its mission to India. The startup has begun discussions with stakeholders in Kenya, South Africa, and the UAE—key regions where digital financial infrastructure is rapidly evolving, but security protocols are still playing catch-up.
The team is also working toward making their AI fraud prevention tools accessible for SMEs and mid-sized banks, providing them with affordable, adaptive solutions that were once only accessible to large enterprises.
Backed by Research, Protected by Patents
Deep Algorithm’s R&D strength is evident in its granted Indian patent (April 2024) and pending PCT (international) filings. The company is also backed by academic and innovation support from IIIT Hyderabad, IIT Mandi, and IIT Kanpur, ensuring its work is rooted in both science and real-world application.
The Vision Ahead
Over the next 12–18 months, Deep Algorithm will:
- Launch a full-stack fraud analytics dashboard
- Expand presence in Bengaluru, Delhi NCR, and global BFSI hubs
- Roll out agentic AI prototypes that can autonomously detect and respond to threats
With this funding round, Deep Algorithm moves from promising startup to pioneering force, pushing the boundaries of what AI can achieve in fraud detection and cybersecurity.
