Workplace discussion app Hush bags seed fund from Accel & others

Bengaluru: Indian community workplace discussion app Hush has raised an undisclosed amount as part of its first external round of investment. The seed round was led by early-stage venture capital firm Accel along with participation from Sanjay Nadkarni, currently country manager at Houzz India as also from a clutch of high networth individuals.
Hush, which was launched in October last year, aims to facilitate candid workplace discussions and enables employee engagement through anonymous conversations. With anonymity as a critical factor to facilitate discourses between employees and management, Hush aims to ease communication within organisations through the user community and artificial intelligence, machine learning for content moderation to enable better career growth path for employees.
“Hush app is only 10% of what we are looking to build. Our overall vision is to become a platform for employees for career feedback and healthy employee engagement,” said Ashutosh Dabral, cofounder of the platform.
