Onetab.ai secures $3.3 million to launch Oneask, AI-powered SDLC game-changer
MUMBAI: Onetab.ai has locked in $3.3 million in seed funding, giving its AI-powered software development platform, ‘Oneask’, the boost it needs to shake up the industry. The funding will supercharge platform enhancements, team expansion, and scaling operations to meet skyrocketing global demand.
Positioned as the world’s first AI agent to oversee the entire software development life cycle (SDLC), Oneask promises to redefine how software is built, deployed, and maintained. Think of it as an intelligent, all-seeing project manager that never sleeps, never complains, and never misses a deadline.
Backing this vision are a diverse set of investors, including a leading Singapore-based Family Office, SOSV, Orbit, Lit Fund, Sunil Kumar Singhvi, and founders. This strong investor confidence signals a major industry shift towards AI-driven software development.
Software development can feel like herding cats—multiple tools, fragmented workflows, and endless back-and-forth. Onetab.ai is solving this by integrating every phase of SDLC, from ideation to post-deployment analytics, into one intelligent system. Developers, project managers, and enterprises can now work smarter and faster without the usual chaos.
Onetab.ai founder Saket Dandotia emphasised, “Building an AI agent that seamlessly addresses the entire SDLC workflow has been a long-term vision for us. With Onetab’s AI agent – Oneask, we have created an intelligent solution that not only simplifies processes but also drives innovation by enabling teams to focus on what truly matters—building exceptional software.”
“Our goal is to simplify the complexities of software development. Oneask Agent is not just another tool; it’s an intelligent partner that supports teams at every step, driving productivity and reducing time-to-market,” he added.
Leveraging open-source large language models (LLMs), Oneask offers an AI-powered application layer designed to automate manual tasks, enhance collaboration, and improve decision-making at every stage of the software development process. Key features include:
● Integrated communication & project management: Real-time collaboration tools keep teams in sync.
● Intelligent coding assistance: Automated code generation and debugging powered by advanced AI.
● Quality assurance & testing: AI-driven testing processes for faster issue resolution.
● Deployment & post-deployment analytics: Smarter deployment strategies and actionable insights for continuous improvement.
Since its launch, Onetab.ai has already been embraced by over 15 organisations, with more signing up each month. Early adopters report major efficiency gains and cost savings—proof that AI-driven SDLC solutions are more than just hype.
As Oneask continues to scale, the future of software development looks increasingly intelligent, seamless, and—dare we say it—stress-free. Is the era of frustrating, disjointed development cycles coming to an end? If Oneask has anything to do with it, the answer is a resounding yes.

With 57 per cent single new users, Ashley Madison rebrands as discreet dating platform
Platform says majority of new members now identify as single
INDIA: Ashley Madison is shedding the “married-dating” label that defined it for two decades, repositioning itself as a platform for discreet dating in what it calls the post-social media age.
The rebrand, unveiled in India on 27 February, 2026, marks a structural shift in business model and identity. Once synonymous with married dating, the company now describes itself as the “premier destination for discreet dating” under a new tagline: Where Desire Meets Discretion.
The pivot is data-driven. Internal figures show that 57 per cent of global sign-ups between 1 January and 31 December, 2025 identified as single: a notable departure from the platform’s married core. The company argues that its community has already evolved beyond its original positioning.
“In an age where our lives have been constantly put on public display, privacy has become the new luxury,” said Ashley Madison chief strategy officer Paul Keable. He framed the platform’s offering as “ethical discretion” for singles, separated, divorced and non-monogamous users seeking private connections.
The shift also taps into wider digital fatigue. A global survey conducted by YouGov for Ashley Madison, covering 13,071 adults across Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Italy, Mexico, Spain, Switzerland, the UK and the US, found mounting discomfort with hyper-public online lives.
Among dating app users, 30 per cent cited constant swiping and messaging as a source of fatigue, while 24 per cent pointed to pressure to curate public-facing profiles and early personal disclosure. Some 27 per cent said fears of screenshots or information being shared contributed to exhaustion; an equal share cited unwanted attention.
The retreat from oversharing appears broader. According to the survey, 46 per cent of adults actively try to keep most aspects of their life private online. Only 8 per cent feel comfortable sharing most aspects publicly, while 35 per cent say they are becoming more selective about what they disclose.
Ashley Madison is betting that this cultural recalibration towards controlled visibility can be monetised. By doubling down on privacy infrastructure and reframing itself around discretion rather than infidelity, the company is attempting to convert reputational baggage into a premium proposition.
