The startup will use the raised capital to advance its product capabilities, launch enterprise-grade AI security frameworks, and accelerate its market presence in India and the US.

Founded in 2021 by Vineet Gupta and Sachin Aggarwal, Zaperon is building a unified cybersecurity platform for the Agentic AI era, designed to secure the rapidly expanding ecosystem of human and non-human identities.

By converging identity security, data security and AI governance, the startup said it gives enterprises a single platform to control how users, applications and AI agents access and interact with sensitive data and cloud infrastructure. This unified approach helps organizations replace fragmented security controls with consistent, identity and context-aware policies across their digital and AI environments, it said.

“Our vision is to build the world’s leading unified cybersecurity platform that protects enterprises from data breaches involving both human and non-human identities. We aim to make enterprise security more effective, accessible, and scalable, while enabling organisations globally to confidently adopt AI without compromising security,” said Vineet Gupta, who is also the CEO of Zaperon.

Minal Shah, Principal – Southeast Asia, IPV, said, “As enterprises move from experimenting with AI to deploying AI agents across critical workflows, securing the identities, access, and data associated with these systems is becoming increasingly important. Zaperon is addressing this shift with a unified approach to identity and data security, backed by its experience working with enterprises across security-sensitive sectors.”
