Alpha3D isn’t just building a product - we’re rewriting the rules of 3D content creation. We’re in the midst of a once-in-a-generation platform shift, where digital experiences are becoming spatial, immersive, and AI-driven. But 3D creation is still stuck in the past: slow, manual, fragmented, and fundamentally unscalable. That’s the crack in the foundation and Alpha3D is stepping straight through it. Our platform transforms simple inputs - text, images, rough assets into fully usable, customizable 3D scenes and models. Instantly. No templates. No gimmicks. Just a full generative engine that turns imagination into interactive content, ready for real-world use across gaming, XR, e-commerce, digital twins, and beyond. While others tinker with tools, we’re building infrastructure. While competitors rely on third-party datasets, we’ve built a proprietary, AI-native dataset with millions of structured assets and a roadmap to 100 million by 2026. Every object, every remix, every prompt becomes data that trains our models, sharpens our output, and tightens our feedback loop. That’s our moat and it grows with every click. We’ve already reached over 600K users without spending a cent on paid marketing. Enterprise partners are lining up for early API access. And our platform evolves daily through real-time creator feedback, telemetry, and Moonlander-powered model refinement. While others are building workflows, we’re building the AI brain of the 3D web. By the time most companies catch up, we’ll already be there - training the models, owning the data, and powering the platforms they’re trying to build on. This isn’t just a bet on 3D. It’s a bet on the future of the internet.

P-TAL stands for the Punjab Thathera Art Legacy. P-TAL aims at reviving the dying craft form of the indigenous Thatheras community of Jandiala Guru, Amritsar. The Thatheras of Jandiala Guru are a community of skilled craftsmen who specialize in the traditional technique of making hand crafted brass, copper and bell metal utensils by hammering metal sheets. This unique craft of the Thateras of Jandiala Guru in Amritsar is the first craft of India to be inscribed in the UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2014. Like the Thatheras, P-TAL is an epitomy of making tradition a trend, preserving legacy through legal entity converting practice into perfection thus moulding the vessels of hope!

Betterhalf serves a single purpose - create a secure place for the individuals who are #LookingToSettle and willing to #TakeTheCharge to find a compatible life partner of their own choice, at their own pace; without direct involvement of parents. In short, we are on a mission to redefine the arranged marriage way of matchmaking in India. What makes us different? 👀 We offer users the worlds fastest matching in a single click. The US patented technology is faster than dating apps and more accurate than matrimonial sites, thereby providing a quick turnaround time to find a potential and compatible match. This technology predicts religion, language, salary insights, community, partner preferences, and behavioral traits of users in a single click. Moreover, it onboards users in a few seconds compared to a 20-min wait in traditional matrimonial sites and then matches them with potential profiles. The emphasis is on providing verified matches in the virtual world by authenticating the profiles through – Facebook, personal email, phone number, selfie verification, and government ID. Besides, the feature of providing feedback by users filters out non-serious daters from the platform. We take pride to get matches for a premium pool of independent professionals from more than 25,000 companies in India including Google, Amazon, Facebook, LinkedIn, Adobe, and Accenture to name a few. Our backbone 💪🏼 Backed by Y Combinator, we were able to raise $3M as part of its pre-Series A funding in April 2021. The funding saw the participation of venture capital firms including S2 Capital, Quiet Capital, and marquee angel investors like Kunal Shah and Samvit Ramadurgam. The aim is to utilize the recently raised $3M in boosting user engagement on the app, adding monetization features, and increasing product discovery across organic channels.
