Indian artificial intelligence startups are increasingly establishing dual operations across the US and India to access global enterprise buyers. Recent funding rounds highlight the trend, including sales intelligence platform Reo.Dev securing $11.3 million, enterprise platform Coreworks AI raising $5 million, and RapidCanvas bagging $29 million for cross-border expansion. While engineering talent remains primarily based in India, companies are scaling US go-to-market teams where revenue concentration is highest. Total funding for Indian AI startups reached $438 million in Q3 2026, pushing nine-month funding across the sector above $1.1 billion.
