Gurugram-based safety-focussed platform DROR raises funding

DROR Labs Pvt. Ltd, which operates citizen’s safety technology platform DROR, announced that it has raised funding from Gopi Latpate and Inflection Point (IP) Ventures, according to VCCircle report.

The Gurugram-based startup said that it will use the funds to expand its user base, diversify and enhance its service offerings. However, the current amount of funding remain undisclosed.

“DROR was amongst the first ones to roll out a special social distancing feature. With the first-movers advantage, DROR has been constantly enhancing its offerings and expanding its user base as people understand the role of technology in ensuring citizen safety,” Latpate said.

This is the second reported investment that Latpate and IP Ventures have made in DROR, with the firm having committed an undisclosed sum to the company in December last year.

Founded in 2018, DROR Labs says that its business-to-consumer (B2C) service has been downloaded by over 50,000 people. It claims that enterprise users have also adopted its services. The firm is now seeking to expand into international markets.

The company says it aims to ensure the safety of women, children and senior citizens in urban areas by connecting citizens and building a reliable and trustworthy community.

Dror’s vision is to use technology to create a trust-based network of vigilant and responsible citizens who are ready to help others in distress around them. Dror claims that its design and features have been guided by research and data from criminology experts and focus especially on creating safe spaces for women.
