Ctruh, a deep-tech startup building infrastructure for the spatial internet, has announced the close of a $2.5 million seed funding round. This latest raise brings the company’s total capital secured to $4.5 million to date. The round attracted a strong mix of institutional investors, venture firms, and prominent angel backers, signalling growing confidence in Ctruh’s vision of making 3D and extended reality accessible to businesses of all sizes.
The seed round was led by Inflection Point Ventures (IPV) and co-led by Avinya Ventures. Several other firms also joined in, including India Accelerator, Finvolve, Founders Avenue, Anthill Ventures, and LVX. Adding further weight to the round were two notable angel investors: Vivek Sinha, former Chief Operating Officer at Unacademy, and Shivakumar Ganesan, who is the Founder of Exotel. Strategic advisory support for the company was also extended by Polymath Qapital and Anirban Kundu.
What Ctruh Actually Does
For more than a decade, working with 3D and XR technology has been expensive, technically complex, and difficult for most businesses to adopt at scale. The internet, for the most part, has remained a flat, two-dimensional experience. Ctruh is trying to change that.
The company describes itself as the infrastructure layer for the spatial internet. In simple terms, it offers a complete platform that lets brands and businesses deliver 3D and XR experiences directly through a browser, on any device, without requiring users to download anything or own specialised hardware. This removes the biggest barriers that have historically kept immersive technology out of mainstream business use.
Ctruh plans to direct the fresh capital towards two key areas. The first is deepening its research and development work in deep tech, particularly around its browser-native 3D engine. The second is expanding VersaAI, its generative AI platform that can convert images, text, and video into production-ready 3D assets. Beyond the technology itself, the company also has plans to launch physical operations in the United States and the UAE in 2026, marking a significant step in its global expansion.
Ctruh’s pitch to the market is straightforward: the last decade of the internet was defined by scaling two-dimensional experiences, and the next decade will be defined by doing the same for 3D. With a growing investor base, a clear product direction, and international expansion on the horizon, the company appears well positioned to play a central role in that transition. For startups and enterprises looking to enter the world of immersive digital experiences without the traditional technical and cost barriers, Ctruh’s platform could become a foundational piece of that infrastructure.
