Cheerio AI has raised ₹8 crore in seed funding led by Artha Venture Fund II to build multi-modal AI capabilities for enterprise customer engagement. With 450% YoY revenue growth and 150+ enterprise customers, the platform has already generated ₹500 Cr+ additional revenue for clients through intelligent retention automation. This funding signals accelerating investor confidence in AI-native customer lifecycle orchestration platforms as enterprises seek unified solutions across WhatsApp, email, voice, and video channels. The move toward proprietary small-model LLMs for ad generation reflects a strategic shift toward cost-effective, specialized AI in India's rapidly expanding enterprise AI market, projected to grow at 19% CAGR through 2035.
