At IA Global Ventures, we back visionary foreign-born entrepreneurs building the future. Our latest investment is Elrin, an autonomous AI startup from India that is transforming how organizations understand and improve employee engagement.

Elrin tackles a universal challenge: keeping employees connected, motivated, and thriving. Traditional tools rely on annual surveys or exit interviews, reactive approaches that miss the chance to intervene early. Elrin flips the model on its head. By blending AI with behavioral psychology, it detects early signs of disengagement and delivers real-time solutions that help companies retain talent, boost productivity, and build healthier teams.

What sets Elrin apart is its closed-loop resolution engine. The platform doesn’t just surface problems; it actively helps solve them. With personalized, psychology-backed nudges and micro-actions for both employees and managers, tracked through execution and outcomes, Elrin closes the feedback loop in a way no other engagement tool does.

The company’s name reflects this vision: Engage, Listen, Resolve, Inspire, Nurture.

“At Elrin, our mission has always been to combine the power of AI with human psychology to create healthier, more engaged workplaces,” said Akshay Dipali, Founder and CEO. “The investment from IA Global Ventures empowers us to accelerate innovation, scale our impact, and help organizations worldwide build cultures where employees feel truly heard, supported, and inspired.”

For IA Global Ventures, this is more than an investment in technology, it’s a bet on a founder and team reimagining how companies care for their people.

“We are excited to support Elrin on its mission to transform employee engagement,” said Nikos Iatropoulos, Managing Partner at IA Global Ventures. “Their groundbreaking approach addresses one of the most pressing challenges organizations face today, and we believe Elrin has the potential to set a new global standard.”

We’re proud to welcome Elrin into the IA Global Ventures portfolio and excited to support their journey as they scale globally.
