Cybersecurity company CloudSEK on Tuesday (January 13, 2026) said it has raised $10 million (about \u20b990 crore) from Connecticut Innovations, the strategic venture capital arm of the State of Connecticut. CloudSEK co-founder and CEO, Rahul Sasi, said the investment not only amplifies the company&#8217;s global trajectory but also symbolises the rise of Indian cybersecurity innovation on the world stage. &#8220;We have raised $10 million from the venture capital arm of the State of Connecticut, Connecticut Innovations. Becoming the first Indian-origin cybersecurity company to receive backing from a U.S. state fund is a milestone for CloudSEK, as well as for the entire Indian cybersecurity ecosystem,&#8221; Mr. Sasi said. The predictive cyber threat intelligence firm has raised the funds at an enterprise valuation of close to $200 million. With this round, the company has raised about $39 million to date. &#8220;We will use the fresh funds raised from Connecticut Innovations for creating jobs in the U.S. and expanding our presence there. We have a 5-person team in the U.S., which we will increase to 15 by March, and around 20 people in the next 12-18 months. These jobs are very high-paying and for very high-end talents,&#8221; Mr. Sasi said. He said the company has 20 clients in the U.S. and hopes to grow to 200 customers over the next 12 months.
