Noon, an AI-native product design platform founded in October 2024, announced its funding on April 2, 2026 making it what the company describes as the largest stealth funding round in the history of design-technology startups. Aditya Bandi on X: “I’m thrilled to announce we’ve raised $44M to build a new home for product design. No workflow is more broken and fragmented in 2026 than the product designers’. Sinha has spoken about how the overwhelming majority of design tools used today are direct descendants of graphic design software built for print and static visuals, not for interactive, functional software. According to Inc42’s Indian Tech Startup Funding Report for Q1 2026, AI startup funding in India surged 73% year-on-year to $253 million in just the first quarter of the year.
