• Linkrunner raises Rs 5 crore in pre-seed round led by Titan Capital, with support from Samir Sood and 2AM.VC.
• Aims to build India’s first homegrown AI-powered app attribution and analytics platform for startups.
• Funds to boost hiring, product innovation, and go-to-market efforts amid India’s booming mobile app market.

Linkrunner, an AI-powered mobile measurement partner (MMP) platform, has raised Rs 5 crore in a pre-seed funding round led by Titan Capital, with participation from angel investor Samir Sood and early-stage venture firm 2AM.VC. The funding will be used to expand hiring in engineering, data science, and sales, while also accelerating product innovation and go-to-market strategies across India.

Founded by Shreyans Sancheti and Darshil Rathod, both former core members of the Bluelearn team, Linkrunner was born out of their direct experience with the limitations of app analytics tools in India. Identifying a gap in affordable, effective, and scalable attribution solutions for Indian startups, the duo set out to build a platform tailored to local needs.

In a short span, Linkrunner has onboarded several fast-growing consumer apps including Stimuler, Grapevine, Fold Money, Abcoffee, Jumbo Gaming, and Lingopanda highlighting strong early demand for its offering.

“Major ad networks like Google and Meta do not currently recognize any Indian mobile measurement partners, which leaves local companies with limited choices”, said Co-founder Shreyans Sancheti. “Linkrunner aims to change that with an AI-powered, cost-effective platform built specifically for Indian app developers. This funding will help us empower startups with actionable insights and globally competitive capabilities”.

The timing of Linkrunner’s launch is aligned with the explosive growth of India’s app economy. The Indian mobile application market generated $10.6 billion in revenue in 2024 and is projected to grow to $27.7 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 17.8%. With India poised to hit 1 billion smartphone users by 2026, the demand for sophisticated app analytics and attribution solutions is set to rise.

A Titan Capital spokesperson added, “Linkrunner addresses a critical and growing need for data attribution in India’s mobile ecosystem. Their platform simplifies data across marketing channels, enabling smarter, data-driven decisions. We are excited to support Shreyans and Darshil in building a category-defining product”.

With fresh capital, Linkrunner plans to strengthen its AI-driven attribution engine and lay the groundwork for global expansion.
