Bengaluru-based procurement intelligence startup ContraVault AI has raised $3.1 million in a Pre-Series A funding round led by Chiratae Ventures, with participation from existing investor Titan Capital Winners Fund.
The fresh capital will be used to accelerate product development, strengthen the company’s AI capabilities, and support its expansion into international markets, particularly the United States.
Founded in 2024 by Sayan Sen, Isha Juneja, and Tanmay Juneja, ContraVault AI offers an AI-powered platform that helps infrastructure and enterprise companies analyse tenders and requests for proposals (RFPs), identify risks, ensure compliance, and streamline bidding decisions.
The startup focuses on digitising procurement and bid management processes, a segment that remains heavily reliant on manual workflows despite the scale of public and private infrastructure spending globally.
According to the company, its platform has analysed more than one million tenders as part of its training dataset and is currently being used by some of India's largest infrastructure companies. The platform enables enterprises to discover opportunities, evaluate tender documents, assess commercial and compliance risks, accelerate go/no-go decisions, and prepare bid submissions with reduced manual effort.
ContraVault AI has expanded beyond tender analysis to become a broader bid management platform serving infrastructure, construction, and energy companies.
The startup plans to use the funding to enhance its domain-specific large language models (LLMs) and expand capabilities across procurement intelligence, workflow automation, and AI-assisted decision-making.
