Eccentric raises $5 million in pre-series A funding from Exfinity Venture, Arkam Ventures
This is the first external funding round for Eccentric, which provides a real-time 3D rendering platform for online retail experiences for OEMs and dealerships.
3D technology solutions startup Eccentric Engine has raised $5 million in Pre-Series A funding co-led by Exfinity Venture Partners and Arkam Ventures.
Eccentric, founded in 2012 by Gaurav Rane and Varun Shah, provides interactive and immersive solution for vehicle visualization through its real-time 3D rendering platform for better online retail experiences for automotive OEMs and dealerships.
The founders noted that Eccentric is currently a key visualization partner in India for major OEMs such as Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, Toyota, Hyundai, and Stellantis. The platform has powered over 200 million user experiences globally and is deployed across 3,500 dealer stores.
This is the startup's first external funding. The company plans to expand Eccentric’s global footprint and accelerate the further development of its proprietary One3D platform, which aims to democratize 3D visualization internationally.
"The funds from this round will be pivotal in advancing our product tech and driving international expansion, bringing this visualization movement from India to the world. We are excited to take this next step forward with our growing partners and investors," said co-founder and CEO Varun Shah.
With an advanced version of its One3D platform, which is expected to be rolled out by mid-2025, Eccentric aims to expand its offering to the US and Europe by next year. Currently, the startup servers OEMs across South Africa, Japan, Korea, Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Middle East, apart from India.
