19-year-old Dhravya Shah (from Mumbai) secures $2.6M seed to scale Supermemory — a universal memory layer for AI applications
What is the news?
Dhravya Shah, a 19-year-old founder originally from Mumbai who moved to the U.S. to study at Arizona State University, has raised $2.6 million in seed funding to build Supermemory, a low-latency memory and knowledge-graph API for AI applications.
The round was led by Susa Ventures, Browder Capital and SF1 , and attracted investments from senior AI executives — including Google AI chief Jeff Dean — and other notable angel backers. Supermemory enables apps to extract and query “memories” from unstructured data (files, chats, emails, multimedia), offering developers an easy way to add persistent, contextual memory to AI experiences.
Why is it interesting?
The product is already working with customers across categories — from AI editors to search and desktop assistants — and the startup emphasizes low latency and multimodal ingestion as its competitive advantages.
For the Global Indian Alpha narrative, Shah’s journey — from building and selling bots in Mumbai to raising a global investor syndicate in the U.S. — underlines how Indian-origin founders continue to shape core AI infrastructure worldwide. Expect Supermemory to be watched closely by app-platforms and agent builders seeking reliable memory layers.
