In a world where millions hustle daily on Instagram, WhatsApp, and Telegram to turn likes into livelihoods, one Delhi-based startup is quietly building the rails to make that journey smoother. Meet Kosmc AI, a social commerce infrastructure platform that has just raised $200,000 in pre-seed funding from a clutch of undisclosed angel investors spanning India and the Middle East.

At first glance, the funding might seem modest. But the ambition? Anything but.

Founded in 2024 by Ankur Gupta and Manavta Narula, Kosmc AI wants to close the growing gap between online engagement and actual commerce—a problem felt acutely by digital-first entrepreneurs, small consumer brands, and creators across emerging markets. Their solution: a no-code product suite designed to make selling seamless, creator-first, and mobile-native.

“Commerce today needs to be creator-first, mobile-native, and frictionless. We’re building tools that allow anyone to own their narrative and earn without heavy dependencies,” says Manavta Narula, co-founder & COO.

Kosmc AI’s platform currently includes:

• Link-in-bio storefronts for social media sellers

• Chat automation tools to handle buyer interactions at scale

• Smart links that streamline checkout flows

• And a full-stack affiliate infrastructure that connects brands to micro-influencers

With over 160,000 monthly active users in 25 countries, the platform is already seeing traction across Southeast Asia and beyond. The fresh capital will be used to enhance these tools, grow brand-affiliate integrations, and deepen operations across India and regional markets.

In a creator economy that often prizes visibility over viability, Kosmc AI is choosing to bet on infrastructure—tools that don’t just showcase products but help them sell.

As social commerce grows louder and more chaotic, Kosmc AI’s play is refreshingly clear: give power back to the people behind the handles.
