Bengaluru-based recruitment automation platform Expertia AI has secured INR 20 crore in a pre-Series A funding round, marking a step in its growth trajectory. The round was led by Rockstud Capital, with participation from Flipkart and existing investors Endiya Partners and Chiratae Ventures. This fresh investment follows the INR 9 crore funding round the company raised in 2021, reinforcing investor confidence in its AI-driven hiring solutions.
