After just 8 months, Indian dynamic coding startup Emergent has achieved an RRR of over $100 million

Indian sentiment coding platform Emerging Launched just eight months ago, it now says it generates annual revenue at a run rate of more than $100 million, thanks to growing demand from small businesses and non-technical users.

The startup said on Tuesday that it doubled its annual revenue from a run rate to $100 million last month, and now has more than 6 million users worldwide in 190 countries, including about 150,000 paying customers. Emergent claims that its users have created more than 7 million apps on its platform.

Nearly 40% of Emergent users are small businesses, and about 70% have no prior programming experience. People mostly use the platform to digitize processes previously done on spreadsheets, email or messaging apps, and to create custom software, co-founder and CEO Mukund Jha told TechCrunch.

Emergent’s rapid growth comes as interest in “biometric cryptography,” or the use of artificial intelligence to code software, surges around the world. Demand appears to be driven mostly by non-technical users who want to build production-ready applications using natural language and AI agents, although many developers are turning to using such platforms to reduce their workloads.

The startup competes with the likes of Replit, Lovable, and Rocket.new, My father, and anythingamong other things.

Most Emergent users are building business-oriented applications such as custom CRM, enterprise resource planning (ERP), inventory management and logistics tools, Jha said. About 80% to 90% of new projects focus on mobile applications, reflecting the demand for software that can be quickly deployed and used on the go.

Emergent generates revenue through a mix of subscriptions, usage-based pricing, publishing and hosting fees, Jha said, adding that all three segments are growing rapidly and the company’s gross margins are improving every month.

“Growth is accelerating,” Jha told TechCrunch. “As models and platforms improve, we’re seeing a lot more users finding success.”

While usage today is dominated by consumers and small businesses, the company has begun testing the enterprise offering, and is running pilot programs with “a small number of customers” to better understand security, compliance and governance requirements, Jha said.

The US and Europe account for nearly 70% of Emergent’s total revenue, although India is the startup’s second-largest and fastest-growing market, supported by local pricing that has pushed small businesses to adopt.

Emergent on Tuesday also launched a mobile app for iOS and Android that allows users to create and publish apps directly to Apple’s App Store and Google Play Store. The startup said the app is currently in testing, though its users have already built more than 10,000 apps.

The app allows users to type text prompts or speak to AI using voice to create apps, websites or platforms. The startup noted that users can also switch between the mobile app and the desktop version without losing context or progress.

The mobile launch reflects the platform’s asynchronous workflow, where users delegate tasks to the AI ​​and return later to review progress, Jha said. With a growing share of users already accessing the platform via mobile browsers and a large percentage of apps being built for mobile use, he said expanding the workflow to a native app was a natural next step.

The startup, which is headquartered in San Francisco and has an office in Bengaluru, attracted attention in January next Raised $70 million in a financing round Co-led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2 and Khosla Ventures, less than four months after closing its $23 million Series A. The financing tripled Emergent’s valuation to $300 million.
