Kochi | Phablo.ai, a B2B SaaS venture co-founded by Tharak Sreedharan, a 33-year-old entrepreneur originally from Calicut, and his German partner Marc Gerlach, has secured $125,000 in pre-seed funding from the global early-stage VC firm, Antler.
The AI-powered platform, headquartered in Singapore with operations across India, Europe, the US, and Africa, is dedicated to transforming the historically complex and manual process of compliance within the life sciences industry. Phablo.ai’s solution is designed to streamline and automate intricate regulatory workflows, converting this slow, outdated burden into a smarter, faster, and audit-proof process.
“It was a challenging but defining phase,” said Tharak Sreedharan, reflecting on the rapid and selective Antler investment process. “We moved fast, validated our idea with early customers, and demonstrated strong founder fit. The conviction behind our vision earned us global investment backing.”
The capital is strategically allocated toward three key areas — building the core product, hiring early team members in India and Europe, and forging strategic partnerships to accelerate global growth.
With this initial backing, Phablo.ai aims to expand across the EU and US markets, close its pre-seed round with a goal of up to $1 million, and onboard its first 100 paying customers over the next two years.
Phablo.ai’s tech, product, and design teams are primarily based in India. India also represents a major future market for the company, and Phablo plans to further expand its presence in India — with plans to hire across additional departments as it continues to build globally.
