Deccan AI, a company specializing in pristine data for AI model training and evaluation, announced that it has raised funding from Prosus Ventures. The funding will advance product development, expand the team, and fuel market expansion.
Data is known as the center of AI models, but there is a constant challenge in generating the vast datasets required to train and evaluate sophisticated models. And Deccan AI was launched to solve this critical need.
The company supports the frontier model work of leading AI companies like Google and Snowflake. And Deccan has a specialized platform, an elite workforce of over 500,000 freelancers (i.e. IIT graduates and PhDs), and deep expertise in GenAI use cases such as agentic evaluations, coding tasks, and multi-modal data.
Deccan AI’s quality control process, high-caliber team, and well-researched workflows ensure consistently high-quality data. And this is reflected in recent positive customer feedback. Snowflake recently utilized Deccan AI for validation and testing.
