The company is tackling a modern challenge: how businesses remain visible as consumers move away from traditional Google searches toward AI-native interfaces like ChatGPT and Gemini. Gushwork’s platform uses a “human-in-the-loop” AI orchestration layer to optimize content and SEO, ensuring that companies are recommended by AI agents during the buyer’s discovery phase.
With the new injection of capital, Gushwork plans to double down on product accuracy and engineering talent. Currently serving over 300 global customers, the startup is positioning itself as a core infrastructure provider for the next generation of digital marketing. By combining Indian engineering prowess with a global market focus, Gushwork continues to solidify India’s role as a primary knowledge hub for the global AI revolution.
