Qoruz secures funding from The Chennai Angels in ongoing $1M pre-Series a round

New Delhi: Creator intelligence and collaboration platform Qoruz has received an undisclosed investment from The Chennai Angels as part of its ongoing $1 million pre-Series A round. The fundraise also includes participation from senior marketing leaders, agency professionals, and founders across the media and advertising ecosystem.

Qoruz previously raised funding from Dexter Angels and the IIM Indore Alumni Fund, which supported its early-stage product development and initial market outreach.

The company plans to use the fresh capital to enhance its artificial intelligence capabilities, enter new market verticals, and expand its global presence, with a particular focus on the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Qoruz is targeting $30 million in annual recurring revenue by 2026, with a stated threefold year-on-year growth in enterprise client adoption.

Commenting on the investment, Praanesh Bhuvaneswar, Co-Founder and CEO of Qoruz, said, “We’re not just building a platform, we’re building an ecosystem for the creator economy, where creators are central to how products are discovered, trusted, and bought. For this to scale meaningfully, it needs more than connections; it needs infrastructure. This capital allows us to deepen that foundation and bring operational precision to a space that has long operated on instinct.”

S. Swaminathan, Investment Director at The Chennai Angels and Founder & Partner at Contramind Labs, added, “We at The Chennai Angels (TCA), are thrilled to back Qoruz, a creator intelligence and collaboration platform. Qoruz has built cutting-edge influencer discovery, influencer insights and an intuitive influencer outreach technology platform. Qoruz has also built smart algorithms that can accurately sift through influencer profiles which can help create customised influencer media investments that are aligned to a brand’s marketing plans. Creator Collaboration-led brand investments are expected to rise significantly and Qoruz is well-positioned to take advantage of this growth. We’re excited to be a part of the next phase of their growth journey.”
