Cybergenix Security raises INR 3 crore in angel round
What's the deal? Two students at Galgotias University in Greater Noida have raised INR 3 crore (roughly $350,000) for Cybergenix SecurityDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → Pvt Ltd, their AI and cybersecurity startup. Divyansh Kumar Mishra, a diploma student in computer science engineering, and Prakhar Kumar Singh, a B.Tech student specialising in cybersecurity and digital forensics, co-founded the company.
The investment follows the completion of due diligence, with the Share Subscription Agreement currently under execution. Angel investor Adil Jamal backed the round.
Cybergenix is building what it calls a "context-driven AI ecosystem" — an integrated architecture combining large language models, self-learning engines, automation frameworks, cybersecurity systems, and digital twin technology. Among its products in development: a system-level AI assistant that interacts with applications and workflows through contextual intelligence and voice, plus digital twin systems that create virtual representations of users for task management and decision support.
Why now? The founders argue that while AI adoption has accelerated, most existing systems operate as fragmented tools with limited contextual understanding and poor integration between intelligence, automation, and security layers. "We are building adaptive and behaviour-aware AI infrastructure capable of understanding workflows, user intent, and operational environments in real time," co-founder Singh said.
The startup has gained traction through IIT Ropar's iHub AWaDH programme and recognition at Smart India Hackathon and other innovation platforms.
What could go wrong? The scope of what Cybergenix is attempting — spanning AI assistants, digital twins, behavioural adaptation, emotion-aware interaction, cross-platform automation, and cybersecurity infrastructure — is enormous. Delivering on even a fraction of that roadmap with a modest seed round will be a challenge.
Investor Jamal acknowledged the ambition but expressed confidence: "They are attempting something technically demanding and they have shown unusual persistence and clarity for founders at this stage."
Student-founded startups also face the practical hurdle of balancing academic commitments with the demands of building a company, especially one tackling deep technical problems.
The signal: At roughly $350,000, this is a micro-round by most standards, but it fits a growing pattern of angel capital flowing into India's student-founder pipeline — particularly where AI and cybersecurity intersect. Dealroom already classifies Cybergenix as an "early growth" company, suggesting the startup has moved beyond pure ideation despite its founders' academic standing. The real test will be whether a context-driven AI architecture built on a shoestring can compete in a cybersecurity market increasingly crowded with well-capitalised incumbents.
