India's enterprise AI ecosystem continues to attract investor interest as businesses increasingly adopt autonomous software to streamline operations. Agentic AI startup Kily has secured Rs 30 crore (approximately US$3.1 million) in a funding round led by Sorin Investments, with participation from Razorpay and Wyser Capital.

The investment will help Kily expand its AI platform, strengthen product development, accelerate go-to-market initiatives, and increase adoption among consumer brands operating across India's fast-growing digital commerce ecosystem.

The funding comes as India's enterprise AI market continues to grow alongside the country's e-commerce sector, which is projected to exceed US$325 billion by 2030, driven by rising digital adoption and quick-commerce expansion.

What Does Kily Do?

Founded in 2025 by Sankalp Mehrotra, Anurag Singh, and Sharad Chitlangia, Kily develops agentic AI software that automates operational decision-making for brands selling across e-commerce and quick-commerce marketplaces.

Rather than relying on spreadsheets and manual workflows, the platform continuously analyzes marketplace data, business objectives, and operational constraints to recommend and execute actions automatically.

Its AI agents help brands optimize:

  • Product visibility
  • Advertising campaigns
  • Dynamic pricing
  • Inventory management
  • Marketplace operations
  • Workflow automation
  • Commerce decision-making

The platform is designed to reduce manual intervention while improving operational efficiency across multiple online sales channels.

The company says it has already worked with consumer brands including ITC, demonstrating early enterprise adoption following its 2025 launch.

Why Is Agentic AI Becoming Important for Commerce Operations?

Agentic AI represents the next stage of enterprise automation by allowing software agents to make operational decisions instead of simply providing analytics.

For consumer brands, this means AI can continuously monitor marketplace performance and automatically optimize pricing, inventory allocation, advertising campaigns, and product visibility without requiring constant manual oversight.

As India's quick-commerce market expands and brands manage increasingly complex omnichannel operations, AI-driven automation is becoming a competitive advantage for improving efficiency and reducing operational costs.

Industry analysts expect enterprise AI spending to accelerate throughout 2026, with businesses increasingly investing in autonomous AI agents that integrate directly into core operational workflows.

How Does This Funding Position Kily for Growth?

The new capital will support several strategic priorities:

  • Expanding AI product capabilities
  • Accelerating customer acquisition
  • Scaling go-to-market operations
  • Increasing enterprise adoption across India
  • Enhancing automation for digital commerce brands

Backing from investors including Sorin Investments, Razorpay, and Wyser Capital also reflects growing confidence in India's enterprise AI ecosystem, where startups are increasingly building vertical AI solutions tailored to specific industries rather than general-purpose AI applications.
