Galgotias students raise INR 3 crore for AI startup

Two Galgotias University students have secured INR 3 crore in investment for their Artificial Intelligence and cybersecurity startup, Cybergenix Security, after completing due diligence and signing a share subscription agreement.

The startup was founded by Divyansh Kumar Mishra, a Diploma in Computer Science Engineering student from the Class of 2026, and Prakhar Kumar Singh, a BTech Computer Science Engineering student specialising in Cyber Security and Digital Forensics from the Class of 2029.

Cybergenix is developing software that combines Artificial Intelligence, cybersecurity, automation and digital systems. Its work is focused on creating tools that respond to context, user behaviour and operating environments, rather than functioning as isolated applications.

Among the products under development is a system-level AI assistant designed to interact with applications, files, workflows and operating environments through contextual intelligence and voice interaction. The founders are also building digital twin systems intended to create virtual representations of users for workflow execution, meetings, task management and decision support.

Other areas of work include behavioural adaptation, emotion-aware interaction, cross-platform automation, voice and vision interfaces, and deployment infrastructure built around security requirements.

The investment adds to a broader pattern of student-led technology ventures emerging from the university. Cybergenix has also received support through IIT Ropar's iHub AWaDH under North Sprint Edition at Galgotias Ideathon 2025, and has been recognised through Smart India Hackathon, Eureka and other technology and innovation communities.

Setting out the company's approach, Divyansh Kumar Mishra, Co-founder of Cybergenix Security, said, "Working across Artificial Intelligence, cybersecurity, automation, and intelligent digital systems, Cybergenix is developing a context-driven AI ecosystem designed to address limitations increasingly visible across current AI infrastructure. While AI adoption has accelerated rapidly, many existing systems continue to operate as fragmented tools with limited contextual understanding, weak personalization, and inadequate integration between intelligence, automation, and security systems."

Prakhar Kumar Singh outlined the technical design under development at the company.

"We are building an integrated architecture combining large language models, self-learning engines, automation frameworks, cybersecurity systems, and digital twin technology to create adaptive and behaviour-aware AI infrastructure capable of understanding workflows, user intent, and operational environments in real time," he said.

Investor backing

The round was backed by angel investor Adil Jamal, who said the founders stood out for attempting work beyond application-layer products built on existing AI models.

"A lot of young founders today are building applications on top of existing AI systems. What interested us here was that Divyansh and Prakhar were thinking much deeper about infrastructure, behaviour, automation, security, and how these systems interact in real environments. They are attempting something technically demanding, and they have shown unusual persistence and clarity for founders at this stage," Jamal said.

The deal comes as universities in India seek to build stronger links between academic programmes, startup incubation and investor access. Institutions have increased their focus on entrepreneurship support as interest in AI and cybersecurity businesses has spread beyond established technology hubs.

Galgotias University said student teams have recently gained visibility through technology competitions and product development projects. It also pointed to investment in computing infrastructure as part of a wider effort to support students working on AI systems and related technical problems.

Dhruv Galgotia, Chief Executive Officer of Galgotias University, said, "Student-led ventures are beginning to emerge from a much larger innovation and technology ecosystem taking shape across the university. Student teams from Galgotias University have recently been selected to represent India at the Global EDVentures Startup Competition in Hong Kong, students from the university have developed live applications on Apple iOS, and several students have gained recognition through global technology and innovation platforms. The ability of students at such an early stage to attract a funding commitment of this scale also points to the growing seriousness with which young founders are approaching technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship.

"Students today are getting exposure to startup building, product development, Artificial Intelligence, app ecosystems, and interdisciplinary collaboration much earlier. Access to advanced infrastructure such as the NVIDIA DGX H200 high performance computing ecosystem is also enabling students to work on AI systems and computational problems that require serious computing capability. Over time, these environments begin creating the confidence to attempt ambitious ideas and build beyond classroom assignments."

For Cybergenix, the fresh capital provides backing as the founders continue building an integrated platform that brings together AI, cybersecurity, automation and digital identity in a single system.
