CodeAnt AI, a startup developing an artificial intelligence-powered code review platform, has raised USD two million in a seed funding round led by Y Combinator and Uncorrelated Ventures. The round was led by Y Combinator and Uncorrelated Ventures, and also saw participation from VitalStage Ventures, DeVC, Transpose Platform, Entrepreneur First, and several angel investors. This marks CodeAnt AI's first institutional funding round, valuing the company at USD 20 million.
Founded by Amartya Jha and Chinmay Bharti, CodeAnt AI aims to automate the traditionally manual process of code reviews, enabling engineering teams to reduce bugs and turnaround time by more than 50 per cent. The company's AI-based system integrates into developer workflows to improve code quality and security without slowing down release cycles.
"Today, when a developer submits a change request, it often sits idle for hours or even days waiting for peer review," said Amartya Jha, Co-founder and CEO of CodeAnt AI. "And even when a reviewer does pick it up, they rarely have full context. This is a critical risk point, most software bugs and vulnerabilities slip through at this stage. CodeAnt AI is built to do both helping companies move faster and stay competitive without compromising on security or code quality."
The company's platform is already being used by over 50 organisations, including Akasa Air, Cyient, Bureau and KukuFM. It integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps, offering real-time code suggestions and instant security feedback across more than 30 programming languages. CodeAnt AI also provides one-click fixes, aiming to transform time-consuming peer reviews into five-minute sessions.
"With more and more code being generated by AI, code review has never been more important. CodeAnt fits into your CI/CD pipeline and ensures that only high-quality code makes it into production, not AI-generated slop," said Tom Blomfield, Partner at Y Combinator.
"Even a single missed bug can have high financial costs. We wanted to build a system that eliminates that uncertainty," Chinmay Bharti, Co-founder added.

Exclusive-Shein and Reliance aim to sell India-made clothes abroad within a year, sources say
By Dhwani Pandya and Helen Reid MUMBAI/LONDON (Reuters) -Fashion retailer Shein and partner Reliance Retail plan to rapidly expand their Indian supplier base and start overseas sales of India-made Shein-branded clothes within six to 12 months, said two people with knowledge of the matter. The China-founded, Singapore-headquartered e-commerce firm has been discussing plans with the Indian retailer since before the U.S. imposed tariffs on Chinese imports that intensified the need to diversify sourcing, the people said. The aim is to raise Indian suppliers to 1,000 from 150 within a year, they said. In a statement to Reuters, Shein said it licensed its brand for use in India. Reliance did not respond to queries. Shein sells low-priced apparel such as $5 dresses and $10 jeans shipped directly from 7,000 suppliers in China to customers in around 150 countries. Its biggest market is the U.S. where it is adjusting to tariffs on low-value e-commerce packages from China which were previously imported duty free. The retailer launched in India in 2018 but its app was banned in 2020 as part of government action against China-linked firms amid border tension with its northeastern neighbour. It returned in February under a licensing deal with the Reliance Industries unit which launched selling Shein-branded clothes produced in local factories. In contrast, Shein's other websites mainly list goods from China. Reliance, controlled by Asia's richest person, Mukesh Ambani, has contracted 150 garment manufacturers and is in discussion with 400 more, said the two people, declining to be identified due to confidentiality concerns. The goal is 1,000 Indian factories making Shein-branded clothes within a year for both the Indian market and to service some of Shein's global websites, the people said. Shein initially wants to list India-made clothes on its U.S. and British websites, one of the people said. Discussions have been ongoing for months and the launch time of six to 12 months could change depending on supplier numbers, the person said. The scale of supplier expansion and export time frame is reported here for the first time. Shein has licensed its brand for domestic use to Reliance which "is responsible for manufacturing, supply chain, sales and operations in the Indian market," Shein said in a statement. In December, Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal told parliament that the Shein-Reliance partnership aimed to create a network of Indian suppliers of Shein-branded clothes for sale "domestically and globally". ON-DEMAND MANUFACTURING Shein is a fast-fashion behemoth earning annual revenue of over $30 billion through low prices and aggressive marketing. Most of its products are from China with some made in countries such as Turkey and Brazil. Its expansion in India mirrors interest in the country from the likes of Walmart and others throughout the global fashion and retail industries, particularly those looking for suppliers outside China due to the Sino-U.S. trade war. The Shein India app has been downloaded 2.7 million times across Apple and Google Play stores, averaging 120% on-month growth, showed data from market intelligence firm Sensor Tower. Offerings during its first four months have reached 12,000 designs, a fraction of the 600,000 products on its U.S. site. In the women's dresses category, its cheapest item is priced 349 Indian rupees ($4) versus $3.39 on the U.S. site as of June 9. Shein's Indian partner Reliance, which operates the app, is working with suppliers to assess whether they can replicate Shein's global best-sellers at lower cost, the two people said. Reliance aims to emulate Shein's on-demand manufacturing model, asking suppliers to make as few as 100 pieces per design before increasing production of those that sell well, they said. Executives from Reliance recently visited China to understand Shein's "innovative" supply chain operations, "data driven" design processes and "disruptive" digital marketing, Manish Aziz, assistant vice president Shein India at Reliance Retail, said in a LinkedIn post in which he called Shein's scale and speed "truly incredible". The partnership is one of dozens Reliance has with fashion brands, such as Brooks Brothers and Marks and Spencer. The firm also runs e-commerce site Ajio and its retail network competes with Amazon and Walmart's Flipkart as well as value retailers such as Tata's Zudio. Reliance plans to work with new suppliers to source fabric - especially fabric made using synthetic fibres where India lacks expertise - and import required machinery, the people said. The firm will invest in suppliers and help them grow which in turn will help the Shein-Reliance partnership go global, they said. Sign in to access your portfolio

IndiGrid to Acquire Solar and Transmission Assets Worth INR 2,175 Crore
The acquisitions are expected to be funded through a mix of equity, internal accruals, and debt, with the net debt-to-AUM ratio projected to reach approximately 62 per cent following the transaction You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. India Grid Trust (IndiGrid), one of the country's largest publicly listed infrastructure investment trusts in the power sector, has signed definitive agreements to acquire two operational energy assets for a combined enterprise value of up to INR 2,175 crore, including adjustments. The announcement was made through a press release issued by the company. The acquisition includes a 300 MW solar power project and a high-capacity transmission system, both already in operation. The move is part of IndiGrid's ongoing strategy to expand its footprint in the renewable energy and transmission segments while strengthening its asset base across key regions. The solar asset, Renew Solar Aayan Private Limited (RSAPL), is situated in Barmer, Rajasthan, an area known for strong solar irradiation. Operational since March 2024, RSAPL is backed by a 25-year power purchase agreement with the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), offering a fixed tariff of INR 2.37 per unit. The project is a wholly owned subsidiary of ReNew Solar Power Private Limited and sits in close proximity to another IndiGrid-owned project, RSUPL, enabling operational synergies and enhanced regional presence in renewables. The second acquisition, Koppal Narendra Transmission Limited (KNTL), is a build-own-operate-maintain (BOOM) inter-state transmission system project in Karnataka. Commissioned in October 2023, it consists of about 276 circuit kilometers of transmission lines and a transformation capacity of around 2,500 MVA. KNTL is jointly owned by ReNew Solar Power Private Limited (51 per cent) and KNI India (49 per cent), a joint venture between Norfund and KLP. Its strategic location supports long-term grid expansion in the rapidly growing southern region. Pending necessary regulatory and contractual approvals, IndiGrid will assume full ownership and management control of both assets. The acquisitions are expected to be funded through a mix of equity, internal accruals, and debt, with the net debt-to-AUM ratio projected to reach approximately 62 per cent following the transaction—still within comfortable limits for future investments. "India's power sector is at a pivotal juncture, with the need for robust transmission infrastructure and accelerated renewable integration becoming more critical than ever," said Harsh Shah, managing director of IndiGrid. "These acquisitions align with our long-term strategy to participate meaningfully in this transformation by owning and operating essential infrastructure that supports grid stability and energy access."

High-ranking Tesla executive departs after decade-long run at the company: 'It's hard to put into words'
Another longtime high-ranking Tesla employee has left the company. Mark Westfall, who led a team of 50 engineers working on energy products, announced in April that he had left Tesla, Electrek reported. He worked on such projects as Supercharger, Powerwall, and Megapack. Westfall had worked at the electric vehicle pioneer for 10 years. "It's hard to put into words what Tesla has meant to me," Westfall wrote on LinkedIn. "I never imagined the places this job would take me, or the impact I would be able to have." According to Electrek, Westfall left to become director of engineering at Redwood Materials, which itself has many ties to Tesla. The company buys scrap materials from Tesla's battery-manufacturing process, which it then recycles to create new battery materials. Tesla co-founder and board member JB Straubel founded Redwood, and several of its executives are former Tesla employees. Westfall became the latest high-ranking employee to leave Tesla so far in 2025. It has also said goodbye to the head of its Indian market, a vice president of software engineering, the technical program manager for its Cortex supercomputer, and two of its top automotive designers. This mass departure of talent comes at a time when Tesla's business has been slipping. The company's 2025 first-quarter sales numbers are down globally, and its net income dropped 71% from Q1 2024. Overall, however, EV sales continue to grow as more people discover the environmental and economic benefits of switching to an EV. Although some models cost more up front than their gas-powered counterparts, EVs typically have much lower maintenance costs and don't require regular, costly fill-ups. The ownership costs can come down even more when an owner pairs their EV with solar panels, which allow EV drivers to rely less on public charging stations and avoid reliance on the grid for recharging at home. Those interested in solar can save up to $10,000 on installation costs by using EnergySage's free service to compare local, vetted installers. What do you think of Tesla and Elon Musk?
