“We call it a future where all the different agents from different vendors can come together and work as a mesh. That’s where our name MeshDefend comes from,” said Tejas Pandit, cofounder & CEO, MeshDefend.

 “Our focus right now is on deploying the funds to strengthen our engineering core in Bangalore and deepen our collaborations with design partners in the US,” Pandit added.

Agents are smart AI tools that perform specific jobs like managing storage, backups, or security. Vendors are the companies that supply the infrastructure, such as AWS, Dell or Pure Storage.

MeshDefend’s AI-native Agentic OS embodies that future, bringing automation, security and intelligence into the heart of data operations,” said Sampath P, partner at Kalaari Capital.
