Bhubaneswar,July 2026: Blurgs AI has raised USD 2.2 million to accelerate global expansion of its AI-powered intelligence platforms for defence, national security and commercial maritime markets.
The round was led by Pravega Ventures and Shastra VC, with participation from angel investors Mr. SurajNalin, Co-founder of PlaySimple Games and Mr. Yashwanth Madhusudhan, Co-founder of Fyle.
Blurgs AI’s platforms are trusted by mission-critical organisations across defence, international maritime and conservation sectors, and India’s public sector ecosystem, including the Indian Navy, the Indian Coast Guard, Bharat Electronics, DRDO Labs, Mumbai Port Authority, Dubai Maritime City, and The Nature Conservancy Group. This client list spans sectors and geographies, and was built before the company raised any institutional funding.
Blurgs AI operates across two complementary domains. On the commercial maritime front, its platforms deliver operational intelligence for ports, fleets, shipyards and fisheries with real-time visibility, regulatory alignment and performance optimisation for the industry that underpins global trade.
On the defence and national security side, the same technical rigour powers threat detection, adversary monitoring and persistent cross-domain situational awareness.
