BENGALURU (Reuters) – Indian home appliances company Atomberg Technologies on Monday said it has raised $86 million in a fresh funding round, led by Singapore’s Temasek Capital and India-focused asset manager Steadview Capital Management LLC.

“With this round of fundraising, our focus is on enhancing product development and improving our product suite,” Chief Executive Manoj Meena said in a statement.

Atomberg did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for comment on its current valuation.
