New Delhi, India 17 June 2026 : INFLUISH, a creator platform helping creators grow, learn and earn, has raised its pre-seed funding round at a valuation of INR 25 crore. The pre-seed round saw participation from angel investors, operators, and startup ecosystem supporters namely Pankaj Vermani (Co-founder, Clovia) alongside angel investors Jeetendra Tewani and Sachin Harneja. The company is the first startup in the CoFounder Circle Accelerator (CFC Accelerator), a new-age venture creation and acceleration platform founded by entrepreneur Darpan Sanghvi.
Already profitable at the time of the raise, INFLUISH has completed this pre-seed fundraise from startup founders, angels and ecosystem supporters to accelerate product development, strengthen its Meta API-powered capabilities, and expand creator workflow tools and monetisation offerings while maintaining its capital-efficient growth model. As India’s creator economy continues to grow, creators still rely on fragmented tools, agencies, and workflows. INFLUISH is addressing this gap by bringing growth, learning, monetisation, discovery, verification, and collaboration management into a single platform.
Founded by Sankalp Nag, Tushar Jain and Shivani Rajora, INFLUISH is what it calls “India’s largest Home of Creators”, and is building a unified ecosystem and the infrastructure required to power India’s creator economy. The platform provides access to verified Instagram insights through official Meta APIs, enables discovery of brand collaborations, offers growth tools such as Auto-DM automation, provides learning resources, and streamlines creator-brand partnerships through structured workflows and payments. Built on a zero-CAC growth model, INFLUISH is scaling revenues at 50% month-on-month and is targeting INR100 crore ARR by December 2027.
Commenting on the fundraise, Co-founder & CEO of INFLUISH Sankalp Nag said “This fundraise is a strong validation of our vision to build the home of creators. While most platforms focus on helping creators secure campaigns, we’re building the infrastructure layer that helps them grow, learn, earn, and manage their entire journey from a single platform. Creators today need much more than brand deals. They need trusted tools, verified insights, growth systems, and monetisation opportunities that help them build sustainable businesses. The trust we’ve earned from hundreds of thousands of creators reinforces our belief that the creator economy doesn’t need another marketplace, it needs infrastructure.
We’re grateful to CoFounder Circle for being the first to recognise the potential in our vision and the angels, ecosystem supporters, and the broader CoFounder Circle community that have backed our vision and supported our journey. This funding will help us accelerate product innovation, strengthen our platform capabilities, and create even more value for creators and brands.”
Speaking on the investment, Pankaj Verma, Co-founder Clovia commented, “The creator economy is rapidly evolving, and we believe the next wave of value creation will come from platforms that empower creators beyond just brand collaborations. What impressed us about INFLUISH is its vision of building a comprehensive ecosystem where creators can grow, learn, earn, and manage their professional journey. The team has demonstrated strong execution and a deep understanding of creator needs, and we are excited to support them as they build the infrastructure powering the future of the creator economy.”
Unlike traditional influencer marketplaces that focus primarily on campaign matchmaking, INFLUISH is building the complete infrastructure and ecosystem required for the creator economy. The platform combines creator growth tools, verified performance insights, educational resources, collaboration opportunities, AI-powered utilities, and structured creator-brand workflows within a single experience.
Looking ahead, the company plans to expand its creator growth suite, strengthen monetisation opportunities, launch new AI-powered tools, improve brand and agency dashboards, and build deeper payment and collaboration infrastructure. Growing at approximately 50% month-on-month, INFLUISH is targeting INR100 crore in annual recurring revenue by December 2027.
