Eudia sets up AI-driven excellence hub in Bengaluru after raising up to $105 million funding

Eudia, an augmented intelligence platform for corporate legal operations, announces the expansion of its engineering centre in Bengaluru. The development is part of its broader growth strategy, following a Series A funding round of up to $105 million led by General Catalyst, with participation from Floodgate and Sierra Ventures.

"This funding marks a significant milestone in our journey to transform the legal industry. We aim to help organisations increase efficiency in legal workflows, reduce risk, and unlock billions in unrealised business value through automation," said Omar Haroun, Co-founder & CEO of Eudia.

Centre to serve as a hub for AI innovation

The Bengaluru Centre will serve as a hub for cutting-edge AI innovation, contributing to the development of Eudia’s vision for an advanced augmented intelligence platform for corporate legal teams worldwide. By establishing a dedicated engineering hub in Bengaluru, Eudia aims to leverage the talent pool in engineering and machine learning to enhance its AI-powered legal solutions.

The company said that its India operations will play a crucial role in its global strategy, ensuring that its AI solutions continue to evolve in collaboration with legal professionals.

Notably, it has been actively hiring key talent to strengthen its Excellence Hub in Bengaluru and is currently seeking Senior AI Engineers and Software Engineers.

Pankaj Bhatia, Eudia’s newly appointed Head of Engineering, is leading this initiative. He brings over 20 years of experience from companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and Flipkart. Under his leadership, Eudia will drive AI and legal tech innovation, creating solutions that help in-house legal teams make faster, more informed decisions.

The India Innovation Hub will work closely with global engineering teams in Palo Alto driving AI-led advancements in legal tech.

What does Eudia do?

Co-founded by Omar Haroun, Ashish Agrawal, and David Van Reyk, Eudia collaborates with Fortune 500 Chief Legal Officers (CLOs) to improve legal decision-making, risk management, and operational efficiency.

Apart from strengthening its tech team, the startup raised funds will enhance its AI-powered augmented intelligence solutions, scale operations, expand its market presence internationally, and hire more AI experts, legal professionals, and engineers, the release notes.

"We are focused on accelerating AI development to enhance legal research, document review, and case analysis. By continuously refining our Augmented Intelligence platform, we aim to drive significant efficiency gains for CLOs, reinforcing our position as a leader in the legal tech space," said Ashish Agrawal, Co-founder & CTO of Eudia.

Unlike others, Eudia leverages Augmented Intelligence, which is designed to work with rather than replace legal professionals through automation. This strategic augmentation, according to the startup, addresses the needs of Chief Legal Officers (CLOs), who must manage risk while moving quickly and driving business outcomes. Its platform helps enhance legal impact while boosting lawyer engagement and satisfaction.
