AI Automation Startup UnifyApps Raises $50 Million, Names Sprinklr Founder as Co-CEO
UnifyApps, an AI automation startup that integrates enterprise systems to streamline routine business processes, has raised $50 million in a Series B funding round led by WestBridge Capital and appointed Sprinklr founder Ragy Thomas as its new chairman and co-CEO.
The fresh funding values the company at around $250 million, according to a source familiar with the matter. Investors including ICONIQ Capital also joined the round, bringing UnifyApps’ total funding to about $81 million since its launch in 2023.
Positioning itself as an “enterprise operating system for AI,” UnifyApps connects corporate software platforms such as Salesforce and Workday to large language models, helping businesses automate repetitive tasks like HR workflows, claims processing, and supply chain management.
Clients include Lowe’s, HDFC Bank, and Deutsche Telekom, which use UnifyApps’ technology to boost efficiency across departments. The company reported a sevenfold increase in annual revenue, though it did not disclose figures.
Thomas, who built Sprinklr into a billion-dollar customer experience firm, said UnifyApps’ edge lies in being purpose-built for AI—unlike older automation players such as UiPath and Automation Anywhere, which are retrofitting legacy platforms to include AI features. “We’re not layering AI on top of old systems—we’re rethinking the operating model around it,” he told Reuters.
Co-founder Pavitar Singh will continue to serve as co-CEO. The company plans to use the new funds to expand its 400-person workforce by over 100 employees, enhance its AI platform, and strengthen its presence in Europe.
The surge of investment reflects growing demand for enterprise AI integration tools, even as research from MIT shows that 95% of corporate AI projects have yet to deliver meaningful returns—underscoring the difficulty of translating hype into productivity.
