The startup, which also has a presence Indonesia and India, will use the money to strengthen its presence

Oplifi, a Singapore-headquartered programmatic media-buying company, has secured US$750,000 in funding from Mumbai-based early-stage VC firm Rainmaker Ventures.

For the uninitiated, programmatic buying is the process of executing media buys through digital technology platforms like ad exchanges, agency trading desks, and demand-side platforms (DSPs) or supply-side platforms (SSPs) rather than through manual request for proposals (RFPs), negotiation and buying.

Oplifi will use the money to strengthen its presence in India, according to a report by ETTech.

The startup is focused on bringing the advances in digital paid media technology, services and platforms to businesses of all sizes. It claims to make it simpler and easier for companies to connect to the right audiences.
