Live2.ai Bags INR 130 Crore in IvyCap Ventures-led Round

Live2.ai, an AI-driven social intelligence and commerce platform, has raised INR 130 crore (USD 14 million) in pre-series B round led by IvyCap Ventures. 

Founded by J Venkat (CEO), Neha Suyal (COO) and Yash Arora (CTO), Live2.ai has built an AI-native Social Intelligence OS that listens to brand conversations across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, X and review sites, and turns those signals into decisions and action.

The platform brings together three connected capabilities: social intelligence to identify trends and inform campaign strategy; audit and compliance management for influencer and user-generated content, including creator and campaign checks; and social publishing and performance tracking to help brands plan, publish and measure posts across channels. 

It also enables brands to turn rights-cleared content into shoppable experiences across digital and commerce touchpoints.

The company works with brands including Henkel’s Schwarzkopf globally, Salonory in the US, Titan Brands and Shiseido. It currently serves more than 200 brands across the US, Europe and Southeast Asia. Live2.ai says it has grown revenue 4x in the last 12 months, with 90% of revenue coming from outside India.

The fresh capital will be deployed to accelerate development of Live2.ai’s agentic intelligence layer, scale its go-to-market for enterprise and global consumer brands, and strengthen its regional cloud infrastructure across North America, Europe and APAC. 

A sizable part of the funds will also go toward growing the engineering, data science and customer success teams across North America, Europe, Singapore and India.

“We are grateful to IvyCap Ventures for backing our conviction that social intelligence and commerce should not live in separate tools,” said J Venkat, Co-founder and CEO of Live2.ai. 

“Brands today are drowning in signals and starved of action. Every conversation, creator post and trend spike is a revenue decision waiting to be made, and most are made too late or not at all. This funding lets us close that gap, with detection, decision and activation running in one governed loop for enterprise customers across North America, Europe and APAC. IvyCap’s track record of building category leaders out of India and its founder-first approach make it exactly the partner we wanted at this stage,” Venkat continued.

“Over the last few years, we have seen a fundamental shift in how global consumer brands engage with consumers. The challenge is no longer a lack of data or content, but the ability to turn that intelligence into timely, measurable action at scale. We built Live2.ai to bridge that gap by bringing agents that solve for intelligence, content and activation onto a single operating system. This round gives us the resources to deepen our enterprise capabilities, expand across key global markets and help brands move from fragmented marketing workflows to a more intelligent, autonomous operating model. Partnering with IvyCap also gives us access to its deep network of industry leaders, which will help us strengthen our go-to-market as we scale,” said Neha Suyal, Co-founder and COO of Live2.ai.

Vikram Gupta, Founder and Managing Partner, IvyCap Ventures, added, “Social has become a key channel for how consumers discover, evaluate, and buy, yet brands still rely on fragmented and manual tools to understand and act on it. Live2.ai is building an AI-native operating system that turns real-time cultural signals into commerce, with the security and governance global brands require. With strong traction, significant revenue growth, and a scalable product architecture, we are excited to partner with Venkat and the team as they build this category from India for the world.”
