LakeFusion offers enterprises a modern approach to unifying critical data across various domains. By embedding AI and automation into the MDM process and integrating directly with the Databricks Lakehouse, LakeFusion enables organizations to deliver trusted data for analytics and AI at enterprise scale.
“Legacy MDM platforms were not built for today’s AI-driven world,” said Vikas Punna, Founder & CEO of LakeFusion. “Our platform brings intelligence, scalability, and simplicity to enterprise data, helping organizations unlock the full potential of the Lakehouse. This investment validates our vision and strengthens our ability to serve customers across industries.”
Industry analysts note that Master Data Management is undergoing a major transformation, with organizations seeking platforms that are AI-driven, cloud-first, and tightly integrated with modern data ecosystems. LakeFusion is part of this new generation of providers reshaping the category to meet the demands of analytics and AI.
The funding underscores the growing demand for modern approaches to trusted data as enterprises increasingly rely on AI. With this round, LakeFusion will continue expanding its reach into sectors such as healthcare, financial services, and real estate, where high-quality, unified data is essential for innovation.
“Master Data Management is becoming increasingly vital as companies race to leverage AI,” said Pankaj Tibrewal, Partner at Carbide Ventures. “At the same time, AI is transforming how MDM itself is done—faster, smarter, and at scale. We’re excited about LakeFusion because they’re leading this evolution.”
