By GlobalDataTessell offers a database-as-a-service (DaaS) platform designed to simplify the maintenance of large database environments.
The company has developed a cloud-based database service and data management ecosystem designed for enterprise use, with a user-friendly interface.
The company is now expanding these tools with AI and conversational data management, enabling organisations to interact with and manage their data through a more intuitive, dialogue-based approach.
The new funding will support the continued development of these AI-driven features aimed at making data management more efficient, accessible, and responsive through natural language interaction, the company said.
WestBridge Capital co-founder and managing partner Sumir Chadha said: “Prior to Tessell, few companies could challenge incumbents in database management despite their inefficiencies.
“Now, enterprises are shifting to Tessell for a high-performing and cost-effective solution, spending less time managing their databases and creating more business value.”
