Prosus has led a $2.5 million pre-seed funding round in CodeKarma, a software productivity platform focused on live code intelligence for developers. The round also saw participation from Accel, Xeed Ventures, SenseAI Ventures, and Stargazer Ventures. The investment is aimed at supporting CodeKarma’s plans to enhance its AI-driven capabilities and expand into new enterprise sectors, with a particular focus on the US market.
The funding will help CodeKarma advance its technology for autonomous and self-improving software systems. The company intends to use the capital for strategic hiring and continued product development as it scales operations globally.
CodeKarma’s platform integrates real-time production insights directly into developers’ workflows. This approach allows both human developers and AI systems to identify risks, remove unused code, and improve software quality more efficiently. The company says its closed-loop feedback system is designed to continuously enhance code performance and maintainability.
Ananth Vanchi, CEO & Founder of CodeKarma, stated: “Our mission is to redefine how software systems evolve and improve; not after deployment, but continuously, as they’re being built. With the rapid adoption of AI-generated code, today’s systems are increasingly complex, resulting in larger, harder-to-manage codebases often lacking real-world context. CodeKarma bridges this critical gap by embedding deep production insights directly into the developer’s environment, empowering both humans and AI to create cleaner, smarter, and self-improving software. This funding is a strong validation of our vision from leading investors and will accelerate our global expansion into enterprise markets, help us attract exceptional talent, and drive continuous innovation across diverse tech stacks and enterprise environments.”
Dhruv Gupta of Prosus commented: “At Prosus Ventures, we’re committed to supporting ambitious teams building foundational AI-native products and deepening platform synergies. We are excited to support CodeKarma as they build a new category of developer tools purpose-built for this emerging paradigm. As AI accelerates software creation, the cost of unmanaged complexity, especially tech debt, will rise sharply. CodeKarma addresses this challenge by creating a persistent relay between production and development, delivering deployment-grounded intelligence that empowers both human and AI coders.”
Utkarsh, Tech Advisor to CodeKarma added: “We are heading into an era of self-evolving software – where reliability and intelligent adaptability are at the core, empowered by seamless collaboration between smart developers and their AI co-pilots or new age AI agents. CodeKarma is born from this vision, as a code intelligence platform built for the AI era. Ananth and I are proud to be shaping this transformative product out of India.”
CodeKarma targets industries such as e-commerce, fintech, and logistics that require ongoing visibility into large-scale codebases due to frequent deployments.
