Mumbai: GameRamp, an AI-native publishing operating system designed for the next generation of mobile games and consumer apps, has announced the successful close of its $5.4 million pre-seed funding round. The round was led by BITKRAFT Ventures, with participation from South Park Commons, Mixi, DeVC, and several prominent global angel investors.
The capital infusion will be used to strengthen GameRamp’s engineering and applied AI teams across the USA and India, as well as support the rollout of two flagship services. The first, Sentinel, is an AI platform that enables real-time personalization of in-game economies and monetization via reinforcement learning. The second, Grow, is a one-click embedded financing layer that gives developers seamless access to capital, allowing for rapid scaling.
Founded by Vivek Ramachandran and Sashank Vandrangi, GameRamp enables studios to experiment with and deploy monetization strategies in a fully automated manner, often resulting in a 40–60% increase in revenue. The platform continuously adapts in the background, ensuring an optimally tuned user experience at scale.
“Scaling new apps or games has increasingly become hyper-competitive. Developers need to be best-in-class in an array of disciplines outside the core product experience. What if we could turbocharge this with AI?” said Vivek Ramachandran, Co-founder & CEO of GameRamp. “It isn’t just about improving existing processes; it’s enabling a completely new level of experimentation and insight. Our partners across regions like Vietnam, India and Turkey are seeing strong results and we are excited to launch globally in the near future.”
Anuj Tandon, Partner at BITKRAFT Ventures, added: “GameRamp’s team embodies a blend of deep expertise across machine learning, product growth and investing. They have a unique perspective on what it takes to win in hyper-competitive markets, and their obsession with developer outcomes shows in their early customer love. This positions GameRamp to fundamentally redefine how consumer internet entrepreneurs scale in emerging markets. As we kick off our deep focus on emerging markets, GameRamp stood out as the obvious partner for one of our first lead investments in the region. Their vision and execution gave us confidence to back them as a global fund.”
With its unique AI-native approach, GameRamp aims to become the operating system for developers navigating the increasingly complex landscape of consumer apps and games. The company’s tech-driven, developer-first model positions it as a critical player in the new wave of digital entertainment in emerging and global markets.
