Three Indian startups offering AI tools for personal finance, wellness and professional networking have disclosed $22.5 million in funding this year, as investors interviewed by Mint emphasized continued use and payments.
Oolka raised a $14 million Series A led by Accel, with Z47 and Lightspeed participating, Z47 said in an April 30, 2026, announcement. Oolka reported in the announcement that it had more than six million registered users and $2.5 million in annual recurring revenue.
SuperLiving announced a $7 million Series A led by Lightspeed India, with Kae Capital and All In Capital continuing their backing. The company reported more than 1.5 million installs and more than 100,000 paying users, with monthly pricing below ₹250. It also said 73% of its users came from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. In a Nov. 12 report, Mint cited co-founder Manavdeep Singh Grover as putting the paying-user count at about 200,000 and monthly plans at ₹49 to ₹199.
Investor 3one4 Capital said Profound raised a $1.5 million seed round with Stellaris Venture Partners. 3one4 describes Profound as using AI representatives to help professionals find connections and make introductions.
Mint reported that investors it interviewed consider continued engagement, time spent using a service and revenue from returning users. The outlet also reported that AI services face recurring model-processing costs that can grow with longer conversations or more stored context. It said Profound uses task-specific models and SuperLiving uses memory indexing to manage those costs. Kae Capital partner Sunitha Viswanathan told Mint that investors look for signs that customers keep using a product and paying for it.
