History
[edit]Aujas was founded in 2008 by three co-founders M Srinivas Rao, Sameer Shelke, and Navin Kotian.[2] The company was incubated by IDG Ventures as part of its Entrepreneur-in-Residence (EIR) program and had also received seed funding from IDG.
Prior to setting up Aujas, Rao was a director at Cisco.[3] In the past, he had worked at companies like Network Solutions, Microland, and Sonata Software. He also became an independent director at 24x7 Learning Pvt Ltd. The second co-founder, Shelke was Director (service development & solutions) at Fidelity Investments and worked at Cisco, HP, and Microland.[4] The other co-founder Kotian was the Country Business Manager at IBM Global Services prior to co-founding Aujas and has also served as the Business Manager at Network Solutions India.
In 2013, the company raised an undisclosed round of funding from a consortium of venture capital investors led by Rajasthan Venture Capital Fund, IvyCap Ventures, and IDG Ventures India.[5] Proceeds from the Series B round of funding were used by the company to invest in technology, as well as strengthen its presence in North America, South Asia, and the Middle East.[6] In 2008, Aujas received funding of $3 million from IDG Ventures India.[7][8]
In 2019, NSEIT Limited, a digital native global technology company and a 100% subsidiary of the National Stock Exchange of India, acquired Aujas Cybersecurity.[9] In 2024, the parent company was rebranded as NuSummit.[10]
