GobbleCube Raises $3.5 Mn Pre-Series A from InfoEdge Ventures to Power AI-Led Growth for Consumer Brands

AI-powered commerce intelligence startup GobbleCube has secured $3.5 million in a Pre-Series A funding round led by InfoEdge Ventures, with continued backing from Kae Capital. The round comes after a breakout nine-month run that saw the company grow from pre-revenue to $2 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR), serving over 200 consumer brands such as Reckitt, Tata Consumer, Nivea, and Johnson & Johnson — entirely through organic adoption.

Founded by Manas Gupta, Srikumar Nair, and Nitesh Jindal, part of the original Blinkit leadership team, GobbleCube positions itself as a "growth copilot" for brands, helping them scale revenue by pinpointing demand gaps, high-growth micro-markets, and revenue leaks with AI-led precision.

“As commerce goes hyperlocal, the real opportunity lies in enabling brands to engage consumers with precision and relevance at scale,” said Manas Gupta, Co-founder & CEO.

Unlike traditional analytics platforms that look backward, GobbleCube's AI engine surfaces forward-looking, intent-led insights using billions of locality-level data points across pricing, shelf visibility, demand planning, and now, performance marketing.

The platform is already demonstrating 2–3x growth outcomes for D2C startups and large enterprises alike. GobbleCube is now targeting global marketsincludingMENA and LATAM, aiming to address what it sees as a multi-billion-dollar opportunity in digital commerce.

“GobbleCube gives brands real-time visibility and intelligence to drive growth,” said Kitty Agarwal, Partner at InfoEdge Ventures. “They’re fast becoming a must-have AI partner for online brands.”

Gaurav Chaturvedi, General Partner at Kae Capital, echoed this, adding, “The team’s execution velocity and early product-market fit are rare and impressive.”

With the new funds, GobbleCube plans to expand platform coverage, strengthen its AI capabilities, and accelerate its go-to-market globally.
