Meet the AI That’s Quietly Running $1 Billion in Online Sales — And It Just Got a Fresh $9 Million Boost
While most ecommerce brands are still figuring out how to use AI to make prettier dashboards, one startup is building bots that actually run the business.
Graas AI, a Singapore-headquartered ecommerce-tech startup with deep roots in India and Southeast Asia, just bagged $9 million in fresh funding — and they’re using it to scale what could be the future of autonomous commerce.
This isn’t your average AI “assistant.”
This is AI that hires itself, manages itself, and performs like a team of analysts, marketers, and ops leads — all rolled into code.
Who’s Betting Big on Graas AI?
The $9M funding round was led by Tin Men Capital, with strong backing from:
- Incred Wealth
- Orzon Ventures
- Integra Partners
- Yuj Ventures
The capital will be used to expand Agent Foundry, the company’s platform for building and deploying autonomous ecommerce agents.
“Commerce doesn’t need another co-pilot. It needs agents that actually run the play,”
said Prem Bhatia, Co-founder and CEO of Graas AI.
What Does Graas AI Actually Do?
Founded in 2022 by Prem Bhatia and Ashwin Puri, Graas AI delivers a plug-and-play AI suite that empowers ecommerce businesses to automate real decision-making — not just suggest what to do.
Its agent ecosystem includes:
- Chattr: An NLP-powered customer support agent that handles interactions without human intervention
- Extract: A data engineering tool that cleans and feeds data straight into sheets or databases
- A multi-agent framework that enables autonomous pricing, performance analysis, ad optimization, and margin management
In short: AI agents that act, not just analyze.
The Agent Foundry: Where Ecommerce Gets Autonomous
At the heart of Graas AI’s new funding push is Agent Foundry — a platform for designing and deploying AI agents tailored for D2C and marketplace brands.
These aren’t one-size-fits-all bots. These are:
- Trained on real commerce data
- Built to handle specific business challenges (like CAC reduction, margin growth, and inventory optimization)
- Capable of making decisions on the fly — without human approval
And yes, they already work across seven countries and support over 2,000 brands.
Numbers That Matter
Here’s why VCs are all-in on Graas AI:
- $1 billion+ in GMV processed through the platform
- 2,000+ brands already using its AI agents
- Operations in 7 countries across Asia
- Zero dashboard fluff — full-on execution agents
This isn’t experimental. This is in-market AI at scale, already saving brands time, money, and decision fatigue.
Why This Matters: The Death of Dashboards, Rise of Autonomous Commerce
Every founder and marketer has heard it before —
“Let AI help you make better decisions.”
But Graas AI is done helping — it’s here to do it for you.
This signals a massive shift in how ecommerce brands operate:
- From dashboards to decisioning
- From co-pilots to autonomous agents
- From analytics to automated action
And it’s being driven by startups, not giants.
Final Word: AI Isn’t Just Advising — It’s Replacing Entire Ops Teams
While most companies are still demoing AI chatbots, Graas AI is already running multi-country operations behind the scenes.
With fresh capital, proven traction, and a vision for “AI that acts, not assists,” Graas AI is quietly becoming the operating system for commerce brands across Asia.
It might just be the most powerful ecommerce tool you’ve never heard of — until now.
