Investors that participated in the round include LetsVenture, the Keiretsu Forum, GAIN, and the Swan Angel Network.
The company will use the funds to enhance its technology platform and generate sales apart from training and up-skilling its last-mile outreach staff, dubbed Digital Runners, Anaxee Digital said in a statement. It didn’t disclose the amount it raised.
