New Delhi: KlugKlug, a global Influencer Marketing SaaS platform, has raised an undisclosed amount in a fresh funding round led by a consortium of high-profile investors. The round includes founders of unicorn startups, ex-CXOs, ex-CMOs, and notable angel investors spanning multiple industries. The capital will be used to propel the company’s goal of achieving 10x growth in the next two years—a journey already well underway, with strong momentum recorded in Q1 2025.
The funding will also support KlugKlug’s aggressive expansion plans across key international markets, with a focus on India, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), South Asia, and Southeast Asia. The investor group will go beyond financial backing to act as strategic partners, aiding scale-up initiatives and market-specific go-to-market strategies.
As part of its strategic roadmap, KlugKlug has onboarded influential industry leaders as advisors, including Lloyd Mathias, Amit Jain (CarDekho), Gaurav Agarwal (Tata 1MG), and Indranil Chakraborty (StoryWorks).
