Graas AI, a Singapore-based ecommerce technology startup, has raised $9 million in a funding round led by venture capital firm Tin Men Capital. The company, cofounded by Prem Bhatia and Ashwin Puri, is focused on developing autonomous agents to address operational challenges faced by commerce brands in India and Southeast Asia [1].

The funding round also saw participation from other investors including Incred Wealth, Orzon, Integra Partners, and Yuj Ventures. Graas AI plans to use the fresh capital to expand its Agent Foundry platform, which enables the creation of autonomous agents designed to solve operational challenges such as customer acquisition costs, pricing, margin management, and inventory optimization [1].

Graas AI's offerings include "Chattr," a customer support tool powered by natural language processing, and "Extract," a solution for data engineers to deliver cleaned data directly into databases or Google Sheets. The company's multi-agent framework claims to facilitate autonomous performance analysis and decision-making for both direct-to-consumer (D2C) and marketplace brands [1].

The startup currently supports over 2,000 brands, has processed more than $1 billion in gross merchandise value (GMV), and operates across seven countries. CEO Prem Bhatia emphasized the company's focus on actionable agents rather than traditional dashboards, stating, "Commerce doesn't need another AI copilot or prettier dashboard. It needs agents that actually 'run' the play" [1].

The investment in Graas AI follows a trend of significant funding rounds in the AI sector. In July 2025 alone, AI startups raised more than $1 billion, accounting for 37% of total VC funding [3].
