A platform connecting Indian creators with international brands.
Circle Talent AI is a proprietary intelligence layer that maps and analyses India's creator economy. Circle Brand AI / Global Collaborations is the marketplace built on top of it — where global brands, tourism boards, hotels and airlines discover, price and run campaigns with Indian talent. Two products are live today.
India is exporting influence.
Twenty years ago India exported software. Today India exports:
Global brands increasingly need access to Indian audiences. There is no infrastructure enabling this at scale.
Demand is live — but stuck at the celebrity tier.
Hotels, luxury houses, fashion, tourism boards, airlines, events — every category increasingly needs Indian creators. Discovery is fragmented. Relationships are local. Execution is manual.
The gap isn't a marketplace gap. It's a data gap. No platform is purpose-built for cross-border creator collaboration because no underlying intelligence layer exists that understands India's creators at scale.
Two layers. One company.
A proprietary intelligence engine that understands every Indian creator with public reach — not the 1,000 people every agency already has on speed dial, but the full depth of the market: actors, models, HNIs, socialites, KOLs, finance creators, entrepreneurs. Nobody has built this. It's the core IP.
International brands discovering Indian creators. Indian agencies executing. Cross-border commerce. Everything the deck describes is the commercial layer built on top of the intelligence.
Circle Talent AI is the engine. Global Collaborations is the product it powers.
Investors are buying the engine; the India-to-world platform is where it earns revenue first.
Circle Talent AI — the map, not a directory.
Every public Instagram account is fair game. Maps the entire addressable creator economy — not just people who've opted in.
True audience demographics, reach, story performance, DM volume — the depth that turns a directory into pricing and matchmaking intelligence.
Most platforms optimise campaigns. We optimise international creator commerce.
We're not trying to replace agencies. We're building the infrastructure that connectsIndia ↔ World.
Think of Circle AI less as a marketplace and more as an export platform — built on proprietary intelligence rather than manual relationship management.
All four: relationship-and-roster businesses, built around domestic Indian brand demand. No AI-first intelligence layer. No cross-border inbound discovery product.
Four sectors. Named targets, not vibes.
Three interfaces. One engine underneath.
public scrape · OAuth data · content · audience · history · performance · AI profile
Talent enters a handle → an AI Media Deck in ~60s. Audience, positioning, collab history, pricing.
Brands, tourism boards, hotels and airlines search Indian creators in natural language, priced and ranked.
Execution and campaign management for Indian agencies, sourced from the map, not a rolodex.
A media kit that writes itself.
Creators paste their Instagram handle. Circle Talent AI reads their posts, brand history and audience, then generates a shareable deck with pricing, positioning and campaign ideas — no forms, no calls.
Search Indian talent the way you'd brief a colleague.
"Luxury travel creators for a Maldives launch." Circle Brand AI returns ranked matches with reach, past international collaborations and recommended pricing — the core of the business.
Three interfaces are different views into one underlying intelligence layer. The product supports the business — not the reverse.
Two products already live.
Talent enters an Instagram handle → complete shareable AI Media Deck in ~60 seconds. Audience, positioning, collab history, campaign ideas, reach-based pricing — all AI-written.
Natural-language search live: "luxury travel creators for a Maldives launch" returns matched results. Global Work gallery documents real international brand work by Indian creators.
The ₹80 Cr Luxury Hotel Groups ARR figure is product-generated, not modeled — it comes from the platform's own account-level database. Phase 1's Circle Talent AI build and market mapping are already in motion before July 2026 begins.
Build the map first. Then monetise it.

No complexity — the intelligence does the hard part.

Circle Talent AI is a compounding data asset.
Circle AI helps international organisations access India's creator economy.
As creators move from v1 public data to v2 OAuth depth, Circle Talent AI becomes the most complete, continuously updated understanding of India's creator economy anywhere.
Every campaign, every onboarding, every collaboration doesn't just generate revenue — it makes Circle Talent AI smarter, and makes the next recommendation better.
Two paths. Both extensions of Circle Talent AI.
Scale Global Collaborations into the leading platform connecting international brands, destinations, hospitality, tourism boards, and Indian creators.
Advanced discovery, pricing, campaign planning, benchmarking, APIs — sold directly to brands and agencies worldwide, independent of marketplace transactions.
Circle AI is the global gateway between India's creator economy and the world's brands, destinations, and experiences — powered by Circle Talent AI, the first AI-first intelligence layer to comprehensively map who matters in Indian creator commerce.
Two parts. One cap table.
Convertible loan into the LLP. Converts to 3.5% equity upon LLP → Pvt Ltd conversion and commencement of external equity financing.
Direct investment into the Pvt Ltd after LLP conversion. Proposed institutional partner: Agna Capital.
| Amount | Equity | |
|---|---|---|
| Personal Angel | AED 150K | 3.5% |
| Fund Investment | AED 300K | 3.5% |
| Combined | AED 450K | 7% |
AED 450K for 7% implies a post-money reference of ~AED 6.4M (~₹15 Cr / ~$1.75M). The angel tranche gets participation locked in before the institutional round prices the company, at the same 3.5% rate. Two checks, one clean conversion event.
