The company's two main products are the Prosperr-FBP (Flexi Benefits Plans), a B2B product that allows businesses to offer non-taxable allowances, and the Super Saver Product (B2C product), which assists consumers in efficiently planning and saving their taxes.

Manas Gond, CEO and Co-founder of Prosperr.io, said, "The growing complexity of income tax regulations and the increasing number of individuals filing income tax returns (ITR) highlight the need for user-friendly, technology-driven solutions. Our mission is to address this challenge by developing AI-powered solutions that redefine income tax management and help our customers save money while achieving their financial goals."

And most of the fund utilisation will be spent on building the next phase of the product. Secondly, on the go-to-market side, now that we have worked with a few customers and are seeing very good results, we want to go to the market and expand rapidly to other customers.".

Founded in October 2023 by Aman Goel and Harshita Srivastava and later joined by Debabrata Basak, Raj Sanghavi, Shivam Gupta, and Shreyas Patel, GreyLabs AI helps enterprises extract insights from the organisation's unstructured data, including call recordings and email data.
