Medial

Fractal Analytics, an AI and advanced analytics solutions provider, has raised $170 million (around Rs 1,461 crore) through a secondary share sale, valuing the company at $2.44 billion. According to ET, Apax Partners exited part of its holding in Fractal by selling 6% to 22 investors, including Trust Investment Advisors and others. The proceeds will be used to fuel R&D, global GenAI expansion, and debt pre-payment. The development comes as Fractal prepares for an IPO to raise $400–$500 million at a valuation of around $3 billion. The company has appointed Morgan Stanley, Kotak Securities, and Axis Securities as its IPO bankers and is preparing to file its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP). Founded by Srikanth Velamakanni and Pranay Agrawal, Fractal has grown into a global leader in AI, machine learning, computer vision, quantum computing, and cognitive automation, with 70% of its revenue from the US. Fractal recently entered the Generative AI space with offerings like Fractal GPT, Flyfish (a digital sales advisor), and Arya (a data science agent). It also introduced Kalaido.ai, India’s first multilingual text-to-image model, launched in 2024. In March this year, Fractal invested $20 million in one of its product companies, Asper.ai, a purpose-built AI for growth platform for consumer goods and manufacturing. Fractal has raised around $855 million to date including a $360 million round, where the Srikanth Velamakanni and Pranay Agrawal-led company turned unicorn. For the fiscal year ended March 2024 (FY24), Fractal's Indian entity reported revenue of Rs 2,196 crore and a loss of Rs 54.7 crore. It currently has over 5,000 employees across 18 global locations, including the USA, Canada, UK, Netherlands, Ukraine, India, Singapore, South Africa, UAE, and Australia.
