CleverTap, a leading global B2B SaaS platform for customer engagement and retention announced it has signed definitive agreements to raise US$105M in a Series D funding round led by CDPQ, a global investment group.
The funds will be used to support CleverTap's global expansion and enhance the development of its world-class solutions and technology.
Founded in Mumbai in 2013 and headquartered in Mountain View, California, CleverTap's customer engagement and retention SaaS platform leverages machine learning and artificial intelligence to offer a comprehensive user engagement suite that enables brands to build valuable, long-term relationships with their customers. CleverTap's subscription-based solution has been adopted by a loyal customer base of 1,200 brands in 100 countries representing 10,000 apps across industries including Fintech, eCommerce, Subscription, On Demand, and Streaming media.
In June 2022, CleverTap completed the acquisition of San Francisco-based Leanplum, a leading multi-channel customer engagement platform, further strengthening its footprint in North America and Europe. In the same month, it also unveiled TesseractDB(TM), the world's first purpose-built database designed to dramatically improve user engagement and retention for digital consumer brands.
As part of the transaction, CDPQ will join CleverTap's Board of Directors upon closure of this funding round. IIFL AMC's investment is subject to approval from Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

Our recent acquisitions helped us expand our foothold in North America and Europe, and enhance our leadership in verticals such as on-demand and subscription.
