SaaS applications and automation

The company was awarded ‘Most Recommended tool in the SaaS Management Platform category by Software Advice for 2021’ and Zluri’s customers include:

• Chargebee 
• MoEngage
• Guesty
• Whatfix

Increased adoption of SaaS management platforms 

Zluri is thrilled to welcome Mass Mutual Ventures as a new partner through this Series A funding. 

“Over the last 12 months we have seen global adoption of SaaS Management Platforms increase at an accelerated pace”, said Ritish Reddy, Zluri Co-Founder. “Our rapid growth in the category can be attributed to our product innovation and unparalleled customer support. We have made significant investments into our one-click automation engine, which helps IT Teams streamline and automate workflows across the organisation thus helping them manage, optimise and secure their technology stacks effectively. We will continue our investments to extend our lead in this space and the current round of funding will help us further accelerate our global growth and product innovation.”

“Orchestrating SaaS applications in organisations and helping them maximise ROI on continually increasing SaaS spend is a large problem statement that requires significant operational effort from IT Teams”, said Anvesh Ramineni, Managing Director at MassMutual Ventures. “With an industry-leading SaaS Management Platform, Zluri is well positioned to help enable this across enterprises. We are very excited to back Ritish, Sethu, Chaithanya and the Zluri team and look forward to supporting them on their vision of building global leader in this category.”
