Odisha-Built AI Startup Kutlerri.ai Raises $4 Million To Automate Restaurant Operations

Bhubaneswar-based product and engineering startup Kutlerri.ai has raised $4 million from Houston-based Narahari Investments to expand its AI-powered agents for US restaurants. Founded by former HighRadius executives Kiran Rana and Payal Tripathy, the startup follows a performance-based model, charging restaurants a share of the additional revenue generated or costs saved rather than a fixed software subscription.

Its first product, a Catering Sales Agent, handles customer enquiries, sends proposals and helps restaurants secure catering orders across phone, email, text and online channels. The company says the agent helped its early partner, RASA, generate $450,000 in new catering revenue over 10 months. The funding will support product expansion, the launch of additional AI agents and a self-service platform for restaurant operators.
