DevOps startup Devtron raises $12 million in funding led by Insight Partners

Gurugram-based DevOps startup Devtron has raised $12 million in funding led by the New York-based private equity firm Insight Partners, along with participation from Leo Capital and other angel investors.

The startup - founded by Prashant Ghidiyal, Nishant Kumar & Rajesh Razdan in 2019 - said it will use the new capital to scale its team, drive adoption of its platform and expand into new markets.

Devtron works as a software delivery platform on the open-source system Kubernetes, which is used for automating software deployment, scaling and management. Kubernetes was originally designed by Google but is now maintained by a Linux Foundation called Cloud Native Computing Foundation.


“Devtron integrates with products across the lifecycle of microservices, and in particular Kubernetes, enabling its users to deploy faster and automate their CI/CD pipelines without worrying about Kubernetes’ know-how. This saves significant time and resources to build and deploy in production," said Josh Zelman, principal at Insight Partners.

The startup claims to simplify software deployment by providing one-click deployment on the central dashboard.

“Since becoming open source, we have seen thousands of nimble startups across the globe installing Devtron every month, along with many fast-growing startups, as our commercial customers. It's an exciting time of growth and development of our market-defining product,” said Ghildiyal, cofounder and CEO of Devtron, and Razdan, cofounder and CBO.
