The round values the company at about $500 million post-money, said a person aware of the transaction on the condition of anonymity, as the deal terms are private.
The amount will be used to strengthen Kuku’s artificial intelligence (AI) and data infrastructure, hire across technology and content, deepen creator partnerships and scale up in India and overseas, the statement added.
