The fund will help the AI-powered tech firm to scale up its operations in rural and inaccessible areas and also expand the user base in metro and Tier 1 cities.
"The funding round was led by the MD of Green Apple Enterprises, Sasi Kumar Marasu, with participation from a few other angel investors. This significant investment will fuel Daakia's mission to provide citizen-centric services to make collaborations easier, effective, and thus achieve digital sovereignty," the company said in a media release.
