Workplace SaaS startup OneTab has raised $3.3 Mn (INR 28.6 Cr) in its seed funding round co-led by LIT Fund and Orbit.
The round also saw participation from a Singapore-based family office, SOSV, Sunil Kumar Singhvi and the company’s founders.
The startup plans to use the fresh capital to boost the development and deployment of OneAsk, its AI agent designed to manage the entire software development life cycle (SDLC). Apart from this, the proceeds would also be deployed to bolster the platforms’ features, expand team and scale operations.
OneAsk, the AI agent by OneTab.ai, will simplify software development by unifying all phases of the SDLC. From ideation and design to testing, deployment, and post-launch analytics, it streamlines workflows into a single intelligent platform, enabling developers, project managers and businesses to work more efficiently.
Saket Dandotia, founder of OneTab.ai said, “With OneTab’s AI agent, we have created an intelligent solution that not only simplifies processes but also drives innovation by enabling teams to focus on what truly matters—building exceptional software.”
Powered by open-source large language models (LLMs), OneAsk automates manual tasks, enhances collaboration, and improves decision-making throughout SDLC. It integrates key capabilities such as real-time communication and project management, AI-driven code generation and debugging, automated quality assurance and testing, and smarter deployment strategies with actionable analytics.
Founded in November 2023 by Saket Dandotia, Sonal Dandotia, and Alok Patil, OneTab is a workplace SaaS startup designed to streamline software development workflows. It integrates project management, communication, API development, CI/CD, and AI-driven automation into a single platform, addressing inefficiencies in traditional tools like Slack and Asana.
OneTab operates on a SaaS subscription model with tiered pricing based on team size and usage. Its proprietary LLMs, OneGPT and OneCode, enable AI-powered project management, coding assistance, and automation while ensuring data privacy through private hosting.
In 2024, Indian SaaS startups secured a total of $2.1 Bn in funding, reflecting a 31.25% year-on-year (YoY) growth, as per Inc42’s ‘Indian Tech Startup Funding Report 2024’. The number of deals also increased by 5% YoY, reaching 207.
This surge in funding was driven by the growing influence of artificial intelligence (AI), with VCs actively investing in AI-powered startups.
A recent example is Hyderabad-based AI startup Pulse, which raised $1.4 Mn (INR 11.8 Cr) in its seed funding round led by Endiya Partners, with participation from angel investors, including founders of Zluri and Yellow.ai.
Additionally, Indian SaaS companies continue to be investor favourites due to their global market appeal and access to a high-quality yet cost-effective talent pool.
