MoEngage’s co-founders Raviteja Dodda and Yashwanth Kumar
MoEngage, a customer engagement platform with significant operations in Southeast Asia, has announced that it has secured US$32.5 million in a Series C extension round, led by private equity firm Multiples Alternate Asset Management.
Existing investors Eight Roads Ventures, F-Prime Capital, and Matrix Partners also participated in the round, which is a mix of primary and secondary investments.
This follows a US$25-million Series C round led by Eight Roads in February last year.
The company will use the fresh capital to accelerate its global growth strategies and product innovation. In addition, MoEngage also intends to improve the AI and predictive capabilities of its platform.
“Over the last 12 months, we have seen rapid global adoption of insights-led customer engagement. Our customer base and recurring revenue have doubled in the last 12 months and our business growth in the US and Europe has tripled in the first half of 2021 as compared to the second half of 2020. This funding will help us further accelerate our global growth and product innovation,” Raviteja Dodda, co-founder and CEO of MoEngage, said.
“Over the last two years, we have made significant investments in Sherpa, our AI engine, to add a layer of intelligence,” added Dodda.
