Linkrunner raises ₹5 Cr to empower Indian startups with AI analytics

Linkrunner has raised ₹5 crores in a pre-seed funding round led by Titan Capital, along with angel investor Samir Sood and early-stage venture firm 2AM.VC. This funding will boost hiring in engineering, data science, and sales, and fuel product innovation and go-to-market strategies across India.

Founded by Shreyans Sancheti, former co-founder of Bluelearn, and Darshil Rathod, Bluelearn’s founding engineer & team member, Linkrunner was born from their experience tackling complex app analytics challenges. They noticed a gap in affordable, efficient attribution tools for Indian startups and set out to fill it.

Shreyans Sancheti, co-founder of Linkrunner, said, “Today, major ad networks like Google/Meta don’t recognize any Indian mobile measurement partners, which limits options for the consumers. We realized there was no simple, cost-effective app attribution platform designed for Indian companies. This round will help us build one of India’s first homegrown AI-driven MMPs, something that empowers companies with actionable data and global-level capabilities.

A Titan Capital spokesperson added, “Linkrunner is solving a real and growing need for data attribution in India’s app ecosystem. Their platform helps unify data from various marketing platforms, enabling companies to make more informed, data-driven decisions. We’re excited to support Shreyans and Darshil as they build a product that can redefine app analytics in India.”

In just a few months, Linkrunner has attracted fast-growing consumer apps like Stimuler, Grapevine, Fold Money, Abcoffee, Jumbo Gaming, Lingopanda, and others. Customers praise its seamless onboarding—often done in under an hour—along with clear pricing and a generous free plan tailored to startups.

The market is primed: India’s mobile app market generated USD 10.6B in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 27.7B by 2030, with a 17.8% CAGR. India is also projected to hit 1 billion smartphone users by 2026—creating a massive opportunity for mobile-first businesses.

With this funding, Linkrunner plans to enhance its AI-powered attribution engine, which automatically aligns campaign data across channels, and lay the groundwork for global expansion beyond India.
