Sherlocks AI, an AI-native incident management and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) platform, has raised Rs 7.5 crore in a pre-seed funding round led by SenseAI Ventures.

Prior to founding Sherlocks AI, Toshniwal co-founded Aasaanjobs, which was acquired by OLX, and later served as CTO at Doubtnut. Jain previously led search and machine learning functions at Doubtnut.
