ProfitWheel, a global software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform, has raised Rs 10 crore in a pre-Series A round funding. This was led by Ashutosh Garg, CEO and co-founder of Eightfold AI, Amit Singhal, former SVP at Google Inc and head of Google Search and Nigel Morris, director of Admix.
This latest round builds upon the $3 million seed round raised last year and also saw the participation of its existing investor Netcore Cloud.
The Mumbai-based enterprise will utilise the fresh funds to expand in global markets including the US. Additionally, it aims to fructify strategic hiring plans and bolster its product category.

“ProfitWheel plays a vital role in redefining how consumer intelligence is sort and can be a Philip to an organisation's growth,” Rajesh Jain, founder of Netcore Cloud, added.
