Bengaluru-based Agrani Labs has raised 8 million USD in seed funding led by Peak XV Partners to build high-performance AI GPUs. Founded by Intel and AMD veterans with advice from Pentium architect Vinod Dham, the startup aims to challenge silicon monopolies with a full-stack data center platform. This investment signals a major shift toward sovereign AI compute, reducing reliance on global supply chains through localized hardware design. 🚀
