Scoutflo, a next-generation DevOps AI platform, has raised INR 1.4 crore in a pre-seed funding round led by 100X.VC, with participation from strategic investors Arjun Pillai and Prasanna Venkatesan. The funding will be used to enhance Scoutflo’s AI-driven deployment automation, debugging, and issue resolution, while strengthening security and compliance for every deployment.
Scoutflo was founded to solve critical DevOps bottlenecks, helping developers deploy code independently, reducing dependency on small DevOps teams, and cutting deployment delays. With just one DevOps engineer for every 20 developers, enterprises lose up to 30% in productivity due to inefficiencies. Scoutflo’s AI-powered automation solves this by providing easy-to-use tools for smooth, secure, and cost-effective deployments across AWS, GCP, Azure, and Civo Cloud.
Commenting on the funding, Kalpesh Bhalekar, Co-founder & CEO of Scoutflo, said, “The traditional DevOps model struggles to keep up with modern AI-driven software development. Developers need autonomy, while enterprises require security and efficiency. Scoutflo acts as an AI-powered DevOps expert in every team, simplifying deployments while ensuring compliance and security.”
Vedant Vyawahare, Co-founder & CTO, added, “Our goal is not just automation but intelligent decision-making. Scoutflo’s AI understands the nuances of infrastructure and optimizes deployments to prevent bottlenecks, control costs, and ensure scalability. We are building a future where developers can focus on innovation while AI handles the complexities of DevOps.”
Prasanna Venkatesan, ex-CTO, ZoomInfo India, said, “Having led engineering teams, I’ve seen firsthand how deployment bottlenecks drain productivity and delay innovation. Developers want to move fast, but they’re often stuck waiting for DevOps support. Scoutflo changes this dynamic, giving teams the autonomy to deploy confidently while ensuring security and cost efficiency.”
Scoutflo will use this funding to accelerate the adoption of AI-powered DevOps. The company will also work toward expanding its solutions across new markets and building strategic partnerships to drive growth and adoption.
