Ex‑Ultrahuman Exec Secures $5.5M to Build Aina, AI‑Era Hardware Interface Beyond Screens and Keyboards

• Ex-Ultrahuman Exec raises $5.5M for Aina, a new hardware interface for the age of AI beyond touchscreens and keyboards. 
• Aina was operating as an HCI Lab and recently launched Dune, a popular three-key context-aware keypad.

Design-led consumer hardware startup Aina has raised $5.5M to build a general-purpose interface for the age of AI and agents. The company launched Dune, a popular three-key context-aware keypad, earlier this year while continuing to build its flagship interface in stealth, one that redefines the way we interact with our devices, from everyday tasks on our phones to our computers.

AI is changing the way people do everything. A single prompt can now generate an entire movie. Yet the everyday experience hasn't caught up. AI notetakers automate entire workflows, but joining a meeting still takes four clicks. Booking a cab still means unlocking your phone, finding the app, typing a destination, and confirming. The problem is the dated hardware layer. Software and AI have evolved rapidly, but the interfaces humans use to interact with them haven't kept pace. Keyboards were last updated in the 1980s. Touchscreens were designed for the way we operated in 2007. This gap between software capability and hardware interfaces is why people are excited to learn how AI can change their lives, but end up feeling overwhelmed and fail to adopt new tools fast enough.

An upgrade is needed in the way people interact with their daily apps and services. Aina's waitlist for the Pilot is now open.

The seed funding round was led by Redstart Labs (Infoedge, India) and 360 ONE Asset, with participation from MIXI Global Investments, Antler, Blume Founders Fund and angels including Kunal Shah (WhatsApp/Cred), Tikhon Bernstam (Scribd), Harshil and Shashank (Razorpay), Vaibhav Domkundwar (Better Capital), Avnish Anand (Caratlane), Aditya Singh (All in Capital), KRS Jamwal (Tata), Shraeyansh Thakur (previously at PeakXV), Sarthak Misra and Medha Shankr (Bollywood Actor) among others.

The funding will be used to bring Aina's flagship interface to market and to scale the team across its San Francisco and Bengaluru offices.

Aina is founded by Apoorv Shankar, former VP of Hardware at Ultrahuman, the sleep tracking ring company. Incorporated in May 2025, the company has been operating as a Human-Computer Interaction lab under the name “Project Mirage”.

The company showcased three experimental AI interfaces at CES 2026, each an iteration in its broader research into HCI across different domains, targeting common applications people use daily: online meetings, booking cabs, ordering food.

From those experiments, the company announced Dune in April, a context-aware keypad for Mac that automatically adapts its three keys to whichever application is in the foreground. The team has since shipped hundreds of Dune keypads to early adopters, working closely with power users to learn from their feedback and daily workflows, validate the company's thesis, and understand real-world AI adoption.

Apoorv Shankar, Founder and CEO of Aina

Apoorv Shankar, Founder and CEO of Aina, said, "Phones and computers today are still primarily designed for browsing. You put in the same effort whether the task is something you do daily or once a year, and when you are doing hundreds of tasks a day, every unnecessary step adds up to real cognitive load."

As intelligence becomes ubiquitous, AI assistants will get better at understanding context and agents will execute on our behalf. All we will have to do is say yes or no. The missing piece today is a context-aware layer paired with an easier way to capture that choice. We are building a general-purpose interface for this future, designed to capture human choice, effortlessly."

Vibhore Sharma, Redstart Labs (Infoedge) commented, “We inherited the assumption that computers are tools - you instruct, they execute. AI is quietly dissolving that line. One of the key questions that matter is how the relationship changes when software starts to understand context and the interface disappears. That's where new categories like Aina are born and where part of the future is hiding. We are excited to back the team in this endeavour.”

Abhishek Nag, Head of Venture Capital, 360 ONE Asset, added, "Every leap in computing has demanded a new hardware interface, from punch cards to the GUI to the smartphone. As AI agents become the primary way for people to interact with computers, the world once again needs a new generation of interfaces built for how we'll actually compute. Apoorv and the team have shown they can design and manufacture revolutionary consumer hardware from India for the world, and we're proud to co-lead their seed round as they build it.”

Every generation of computing has produced a new interface. Each one won by asking less of the person using it. Aina believes the next one asks least of all. In a world where AI has the context of everything you're doing, the only thing left for humans is to choose. Aina is building the most effortless and natural way to capture that choice, so in the age of AI, we can spend our time on things that actually require human intelligence and effort.

About Aina

Founded in May 2025 by Apoorv Shankar, former VP of Hardware at Ultrahuman, where he led the research, development, and manufacturing of the company's sleep-tracking rings.

For its first year, Aina operated in stealth as "Project Mirage", a Human-Computer Interaction lab exploring how people interact with AI in everyday life. The team ran experiments with hundreds of early adopters to understand real-world AI adoption and validate its thesis on what the future of interaction looks like.

One of these early experiments was Dune, a context-aware keypad for Mac, launched in April 2026.

The Bengaluru team works out of an electronics manufacturing unit, part of which has been converted into a design and prototyping studio. The setting reflects the company's approach: combining industrial capability, interaction design, and rapid experimentation to create new hardware for the AI era.

The waitlist for Aina’s Pilot is now open at aina.com

Founded by Vedant Gupte, Siddharth Thakkar and Aryan Jain, Trackk is building a platform designed around how younger users discover and engage with financial markets. The company combines AI-led stock discovery, personalised user journeys and simplified execution tools to make investing more accessible for first-time investors.

Vedant Gupte, Co-Founder & CEO, Trackk said, “Younger investors today consume financial information very differently from previous generations. Discovery is increasingly happening through digital communities, creators and social platforms, but the investing experience itself still feels overly complex for first-time users. With Trackk, we are building a platform that simplifies participation in financial markets for young Indians while making the overall investing journey far more intuitive and accessible.”

Romit Mehta, Investor, Lightspeed said, “Trackk is building for a generation of investors whose relationship with financial products is fundamentally different from that of previous generations. The team has shown strong understanding of younger user behaviour and is creating a product experience that feels far more aligned with how new-age investors discover, learn and participate in markets.”

Chinmaya Sharma, Partner, InfoEdge Ventures, said, “Young Indians should have access to investing platforms that help them make informed financial decisions and build long-term wealth responsibly. As participation in the markets grows among GenZ users, there is a clear need for products that simplify investing, improve access to insights, and encourage disciplined capital allocation over speculative trading behaviour. We believe Trackk is building thoughtfully for this new generation of investors, and we are excited to back the team at Trackk.”

Trackk has seen strong adoption among younger investors, with nearly 90 per cent of its user base belonging to the Gen Z demographic and the average user age ranging between 20 and 24 years. The company is building toward a larger multi-asset financial platform spanning investing, wealth creation and broader financial products for young India.

In October 2025, Trackk became one of India’s youngest registered brokers following a felicitation by Sundararaman R, Managing Director & CEO of the Bombay Stock Exchange.

Recur Club Announces $50M Funding to Revolutionize India’s SME and Startup Debt Ecosystem

Recur Club, India’s fastest-growing AI-native debt marketplace, has raised $50 million to scale ‘autopilot’ debt financing, enabling startups and SMEs to secure debt faster, with less friction. The raise includes $8 million in equity funding led by InfoEdge Ventures, LC Nueva, Physis Capital, String Ventures and iA finvolve, alongside $42 million in debt allocation to the platform from leading financial institutions, including Incred, Ugro and Lighthouse Canton.

Recur Club has connected 2,000+ companies to 100+ institutional lenders across 30+ customised debt products - cashflow financing, asset financing, working capital, invoice discounting, venture debt, acquisition financing, structured debt and lease financing across varied sectors like SaaS, Tech Services, D2C, Manufacturing, Financial Services, Pharmaceuticals, Solar and Agriculture. The new funds will be deployed to accelerate the growth of Recur’s AI-native debt marketplace launching new debt products and expanding into Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities and investing further into technology infrastructure. Recur Club has scaled 120% y-o-y and, with these new funds, is on track to achieve an annual debt run-rate of ₹10,000 crore by FY’27.

At the heart of Recur Club is AICA — our proprietary AI Credit Analyst, trusted by 100+ banks, NBFCs, and credit funds. AICA saves over 80% of the time typically spent on data collection, data room management, deal execution, due diligence, and CAM creation through its AI co-pilots and lending agents. Its AI-powered debt recommendation engine identifies the most suitable financing options for each borrower and matches them with the most relevant lenders at lightning speed. This enables companies to raise unsecured loans in under 48 hours and structured, collateral-backed growth capital in less than three weeks - a process that traditionally takes over three months.

Since its inception, Recur Club has facilitated over ₹3,000 crore in debt sanctions, backing companies such as MoveInSync, Zypp, Sagar Asia, Kimbal, Captain Fresh, and Palmonas. With a balanced mix of secured and unsecured disbursals, the platform mirrors real founder needs — from unlocking working capital quickly to enabling structured growth with secured credit for expansion, equipment, or asset-backed financing.

“Founders choose Recur Club because we make debt raising a simple, transparent and fast process by curating ideal capital structures mapped with the Company's business plan - a true technology-led capital advisory. By 2030, our ambition is to power 2% of India’s $1 trillion SME and startup debt market by making debt accessible like flowing water” said Eklavya Gupta, Founder & Co-CEO of Recur Club.

Abhinav Sherwal, Co-Founder and Co-CEO, added: “Raising debt in India has traditionally been slow, opaque, and fragmented, filled with scattered applications, endless follow-ups, and delayed disbursals. At Recur Club, we have rebuilt this experience ground up with AI lending agents where technology stays invisible while founders raise capital and keep their focus on scaling their businesses instead of chasing paperwork.”

Echoing this confidence, Amit Behl, Partner at Infoedge, said: “AI is transforming industries worldwide, but corporate lending in India has remained slow and relationship based. Recur Club is changing that. By building a full-stack debt marketplace with AI at its core, they are making capital faster, smarter, and truly founder-first. This is not just an incremental improvement — it is a fundamental reset of how credit flows to businesses in India, and we are excited to back a team with the vision and execution to build the future of credit.”

Telehealth Platform Truemeds Raises $5 Mn from InfoEdge, Asha impact and IAN Fund

The Fund raise will help Truemeds launch in new cities, further develop the technology and supply chain automation

Mumbai, June 9, 2021: Truemeds, India’s leading telehealth platform that helps chronic patients find best value alternate brands for medicines, closed its $5 million series A funding round led by InfoEdge, Asha Impact and Indian Angel Network(IAN). Existing investor, InfoEdge Fund, led the second consecutive funding round in Truemeds - showing their strong trust in the model and the team.

Since its seed round in May 2020, the company has witnessed a 40X growth in monthly orders, with over 50% orders resulting from word of mouth and organic discovery. According to the company, the current pandemic has made consumers not only more conscious of their health but also more aware of their rising healthcare costs, further accelerating the trend towards more affordable, high quality medical alternatives. With repeat usage of over 60% and 8 to 10 times annual purchase frequency, Truemeds is building a ‘subscription-like’ service for chronic patients.

The funding will be used to further expand its footprint to 3 additional cities, build product and technology and invest in improving the supply chain of generic medicines.

Commenting on the announcement Akshat Nayyar, CEO & Co-founder of Truemeds said --

Truemeds was founded with a mission to make medicine affordable for chronic patients. For us, it wasn’t just about providing best value alternate brands, it was about changing the paradigm of doctor-patient relationship. Covid 19 has shown the country how important it is to make medicines affordable and accessible. With this investment, we’ll be able to not only make the Truemeds experience even more seamless, but also bring access to affordable medicines to more people in different parts of India.

Amit Behl Partner at InfoEdge Ventures commented, “We have seen Akshat and Kunal execute extremely well throughout last year and demonstrate that their customers find the generics proposition appealing. With this new round, we continue our support for the Co as they build further on the proposition to deliver significant savings on healthcare expenses of consumers”

Aditi Gupta, Principal at Asha Impact said, “We are thrilled to back Akshat and Kunal in this category defining business. TrueMeds has seen tremendous growth in the last year which speaks to the increasing importance of reducing patient spends on medicines for majority of Indian households, and the growing trust that TrueMeds as a brand has started building with this customer base.”

“We were very excited by Akshat’s vision, passion and execution focus in building a fast growing business. Truemeds is creating a real impact for customers by enabling reduction of medicine costs and this resonated well with us. Trumeds disruptive model is now fast becoming the “normal” for customers, suppliers and pharma companies” said Rajnish Kapur, Managing Partner from IAN Fund.
