Talking about the investment, Vinod Muthukrishnan, COO and founder, Cloudcherry said, “The company is looking at expanding its footprint in the North American market and will also enter the Southeast Asian market. The Series A funding is all primary capital and none of the existing angel investors will exit through this round.”

According to an official statement, this funding raised by Cloudcherry is the largest Series A funding by a SaaS startup this year.

At present, CloudCherry works in BFSI, retail, ecommerce, healthcare, manufacturing, and hospitality sectors. With its platform, users can discover the key metric of customer experience, capture feedback and gather real-time customer insights, and get notified in real-time to intervene immediately and fix any issues.

In July 2015, Cloudcherry raised seed funding of about $1 Mn (INR 6 Cr) from The Chennai Angels (TCA) and IDG Ventures India.
