Umwelt.Ai Seeks To Capitalise On Employee Engagement Solution Offerings With Backing From Upekkha

Umwelt.Ai, an AI-based people analytics and employee engagement SaaS platform, has secured $125K in a seed funding round led by SaaS accelerator Upekkha.

The Faridabad-based startup will use the fresh capital to expand its global footprint and deliver solutions to organisations across various industries, Umwelt said in a statement.

Cofounder Vishal Chopra said, “Our platform is designed to bridge the gap between employee expectations and organisational realities, enabling companies to unlock their workforce’s full potential.”

Founded in 2018 by Chopra, Umwelt.Ai leverages behavioural science, chatBot technology, and advanced analytics to enable CEOs and HR leaders to listen, analyse, and act on employee feedback in real-time.

The startup claims to help organisations improve their employee net promoter score (ENPS) and employee response rates, resulting in a more engaged workforce. Through predictive analytics, Umwelt.Ai has reduced early attrition rates, leading to cost savings and improved talent retention.

The startup counts Quess Corp, Vero Moda, Jack & Jones, Foundit, and Allsec BPO among its clients. 

Umwelt.Ai competes against startups like inFeedo and Leena.AI.
