Hyderabad,
03-04-2026 : Skill Metaverse India Private Limited, an
AI-first technology company building an AI-native marketplace for influencer
and performance marketing, has secured a strategic seed investment of INR 5
crore from Innopark Ventures in December 2025.

The
influencer marketing industry is growing fast but remains fragmented, manual,
and inefficient. To address this issue, Skill Metaverse offers an end-to-end
operating system powered by agentic AI, automating influencer discovery,
campaign creation, content governance, fraud detection, real-time analytics,
price benchmarking, and brand/product lifecycle management.

Built
from the ground up with AI-native architecture and not a traditional Web2
overlay, Skill Metaverse provides enterprise-grade capabilities at a fraction
of traditional agency costs.

The
company also already serves leading D2C, e-commerce, and SaaS brands across
India with a reported range of 3–5x ROI improvements.

Commenting
on the investment, Sreeram Reddy Vanga, the Founder of Innopark Ventures,
states, “Skill Metaverse represents exactly the kind of transformative
AI-native technology platform we look for at Innopark Ventures. The influencer
and performance marketing space has long been plagued by inefficiency, opacity,
and fragmentation, and Skill Metaverse is tackling these challenges head-on
with a truly ground-up AI architecture, not just a retrofitted layer on legacy
systems. What impressed us most is the team’s ability to deliver
enterprise-grade outcomes at accessible price points, already demonstrating
3–5x ROI improvements for their brand partners. We believe agentic AI will
fundamentally reshape how marketing is planned, executed, and measured, and
Skill Metaverse is positioned to lead that shift in India and across global
markets. This investment reflects our conviction in both the platform’s
technical depth and the team’s ability to execute at scale.”

Manoj
Patel, Founder and CEO of Skill Metaverse, said, “This investment validates
our vision of becoming the operating system for the modern marketing industry,
and it gives us the fuel to accelerate everything we’ve been building toward.
From day one, we made a deliberate choice to architect Skill Metaverse as an
AI-native platform, one where intelligence is embedded into every workflow. The
influencer marketing ecosystem deserves better than spreadsheets, manual
outreach, and guesswork, and we’re here to change that at a fundamental level.
With Innopark’s backing, we will aggressively expand our presence across India
while also making our first moves into international markets. We’re building
for the next decade of marketing, and this is a defining moment for our team
and the brands that trust us to deliver results.”

This
funding will be used to accelerate Skill Metaverse’s expansion across India and
into international markets, fueling product development, go-to-market efforts,
and team growth.
