The agentic AI startup Kily has successfully attracted a significant investment of ₹30 Cr ($3.2 Mn) from various venture capital firms in order to expand its platform deployment. Sorin Investments led the funding round, while Razorpay and Wyser Capital also participated in the round. Kily's primary focus is to enhance its product capabilities, optimize its go-to-market strategies, and facilitate platform adoption among major Indian consumer brands.
The company, founded in 2025 by former executives of Flipkart, Affle, and other firms, specializes in developing autonomous AI agents that assist consumer brands in achieving growth on ecommerce and quick commerce platforms.
Among Kily's notable partnerships are leading FMCG giant ITC. The platform's agents seamlessly integrate real-time signals from marketplaces with clients' objectives, operational constraints, and context to automate workflows and make informed decisions. These insights enable brands to optimize critical variables such as product visibility, advertising efficiency, pricing, and inventory availability.
The surge in demand for AI-driven solutions across industries has further propelled Kily's ambitions. In this regard, investors are increasingly attracted to platforms that can streamline operations and alleviate manual workflows. A testament to this trend is the recent funding success of Emergent, which became India's third homegrown AI unicorn and sixth overall in 2026, following a $130 Mn Series C funding round.
Another prominent player in the burgeoning Indian AI landscape, Sarvam, also reached unicorn status this year after securing $234 Mn in a $300 Mn Series B funding round. Additionally, developer-focused startup Freehand raised $75 Mn for its agentic AI solutions in supply chain operations last week.
Overall, Indian AI startups raised a substantial $676 Mn across 57 deals in the first half of 2026, marking a four-fold increase compared to the same period last year. This remarkable capital influx underscores the growing confidence in Indian AI startups and their potential to revolutionize various sectors through innovative AI-driven solutions.
