Bert Labs, an artificial intelligence company which uses Internet of Things to enable companies in improving energy efficiency, has raised $1 million from Katkar Family Office, Kailash Katkar and Sanjay Katkar, founders of Quick Heal Technologies, an Indian cybersecurity software firm, the company said in a statement. 

Investor Jeevan Patwa also participated in the round as part of a $3 million bridge funding round that will close this month. The company will use the funds to double its team by the end of the current fiscal, acquire more customers and increase its presence in markets outside India, Bert Labs said. The company is looking to expand its innovation, product, and platform portfolio while also eyeing global growth, the company said.
