Primetrace, the parent company of community app Kutumb, is in advanced talks to raise $50 million in fresh funding at a $500 million valuation. The company, which also runs Crafto and other consumer apps, is reportedly negotiating with 360 One Asset as it looks to expand its AI-led product portfolio.
The new round comes after a strong business run for Primetrace. Reports say the startup is generating more than Rs 600 crore in annual revenue run rate and has already reached about Rs 200 crore EBITDA run rate, a rare sign of profitability in India’s consumer app market. The company had earlier raised around $30 million from investors including Tiger Global and Peak XV Partners, and its valuation has climbed sharply since its 2021 Series A round.
If the deal closes, it will highlight growing investor interest in profitable consumer-tech and AI startups in India. Primetrace plans to use the fresh capital to launch more consumer-facing AI products, while also strengthening its existing apps like Kutumb, which has built a large community user base. The fundraise could also position the company as one of the more valuable private startups in India’s consumer internet space.
