AI startup Uniphore raises $260 million in Series F from Nvidia, AMD, Snowflake, Databricks
Artificial intelligence (AI) for business platform Uniphore has raised $260 million in a Series F round from global tech majors such as Nvidia, AMD, Snowflake, and Databricks, taking its total funding to $870 million.
“Our Series F raise marks an exciting milestone for Uniphore. It is unlike most fundraises because, in addition to top-tier financial investors, we are joined by the world’s top AI and data companies,” said Umesh Sachdev, co-founder and chief executive of Uniphore in a prepared statement.
Other investors in the round include New Enterprise Associates (NEA), March Capital, BNF Capital, National Grid Partners, and Prosperity7 Ventures. The company will use the funds to accelerate innovation for its Business AI Cloud, Uniphore’s flagship AI and data orchestration platform.
In July, Mint was the first to report that Uniphore was in talks to raise between $200–250 million, aimed at funding expansion and scaling its AI bets.
“By combining a sovereign and secure approach with seamless model orchestration and rapid deployment of AI agents, Uniphore is helping organizations unlock meaningful business outcomes, while maintaining control of their data and workflows,” said Hemant Dhulla, vice president of NVIDIA AI Software, in a statement.
Acquisitions and AI agents
Ahead of the fundraise, Uniphore acquired Orby AI, an AI-native company that builds enterprise-grade AI agents capable of observing user activity and replicating it. It also announced plans to acquire Autonom8, a Chennai-based automation firm that develops and automates customer-facing and back-office workflows.
Uniphore last raised funds in 2022, securing $400 million in its Series E round led by NEA, which valued the company at $2.5 billion. March Capital, Sanabil Investments, and Sorenson Capital Partners also participated in that round. With the new Series F, Uniphore’s valuation remains unchanged.
From Chennai to global stage
Other notable backers include Chiratae Ventures, Iron Pillar, 360 One, IIFL Finance, Sistema Asia, CXO Fund, ITP, the Patni family, Infosys co-founder Kris Gopalakrishnan, and Sorenson Capital Partners.
Founded in Chennai in 2008 by Umesh Sachdev and Ravi Saraogi, Uniphore offers a conversational automation platform that integrates conversational AI, workflow automation, and robotic process automation. The company operates offices in the US, India, Spain, Israel, the UK, and the UAE, according to its website.
Uniphore’s proprietary platform, the Business AI Cloud, is structured across multiple layers. The agentic layer allows companies to build their own AI agents to automate workflows through a no-code interface. Its model layer is designed to let enterprises create various AI models—whether closed, open, or fine-tuned—to interact seamlessly with each other. The knowledge layer can generate high-quality enterprise data to fine-tune small language models, while the data layer of the AI cloud prepares enterprise data to be AI-ready without duplication or loss of integrity.
India’s domestic AI market is projected to more than triple to $17 billion by 2027, according to a BCG report published last month. The country already accounts for 16% of the global AI talent pool—second only to the US—and is home to over 600,000 AI professionals, a number expected to more than double to 1.25 million by 2027, highlighting the rapidly growing ecosystem for AI development and deployment.
