Took us longer and more conversations to raise funds: Pixxel CEO

Awais Ahmed, the CEO of Bengaluru-based startup Pixxel which received a $36 million Google-led funding, said it was a difficult time to fundraise. "It took a lot longer than it generally has taken us before...A lot more conversations...to actually get there," he said. "The contracts we have and...customer traction gave enough confidence to Google and other new investors," he added.
