Metaforms, a rising star in the AI world, just raised a whopping $9 million in Series A funding led by Peak XV Partners, with Nexus Venture Partners and Together Fund joining in. This fresh cash injection is set to turbocharge the way market research is done globally!


Metaforms: The AI Powerhouse Transforming Market Research

Founded in 2022 by visionaries Akshat Tyagi and Arjun S, Metaforms is not your average AI startup. It’s building smart AI agents that take over repetitive, time-consuming tasks like survey programming, data processing, and vendor coordination — freeing research firms to scale faster and make smarter business decisions.

As CEO Akshat Tyagi puts it, “We’re not here to replace humans — we’re here to give them leverage.”


What Will $9 Million Unlock for Metaforms?

With this round, Metaforms plans to triple its engineering and AI research team in Bengaluru and expand its tech muscle in key areas:

  • Report generation automation
  • Voice-based research capabilities
  • Seamless integration with popular research tools like Decipher, SPSS, and Confirmit

Already serving top clients like Dynata and Savanta, Metaforms is fast becoming the backbone of market research agencies in North America and Europe.


Why Metaforms Is a Gamechanger

In a crowded AI landscape, Metaforms stands out by solving a simple but huge pain point: research firms drowning in manual work. Its AI agents automate the grunt work, speeding up projects and slashing turnaround times.

More surveys, more insights, faster decisions — that’s the Metaforms promise.


The Road Ahead: What’s Next for Metaforms?

Having started commercial operations just six months ago, Metaforms is on a rapid growth trajectory. The new funding will fuel:

  • Expanding their AI team in India
  • Opening a new office in New York to deepen global reach
  • Scaling operations to handle thousands of surveys every month

The future looks bright for this Bengaluru-born AI startup ready to disrupt an entire industry.
