GoKwik Raises $13M from RTP Global to Accelerate Global Expansion and AI Innovation

E‑commerce enablement platform GoKwik has successfully raised $13 million in a growth financing round led by its lead backer, RTP Global, with further support from existing investors Z47 (formerly Matrix Partners India), Peak XV Partners, and Think Investments. This fresh capital brings the company’s total equity funding to $68 million since its inception in 2020.

Founded by Chirag Taneja, Vivek Bajpai, and Ankush Talwar during the pandemic, GoKwik offers a comprehensive suite of AI‑driven tools aimed at e‑commerce brands. Its products span friction‑free checkout (KwikCheckout), WhatsApp conversational commerce (KwikEngage), phone‑first logins (KwikPass), and returns management (Return Prime). The platform has helped over 12,000 merchants — including Lenskart, Mamaearth, Man Matters, Plix, Libas, and Shoppers Stop — manage more than $2 billion in gross merchandise value. Its revenue has doubled to surpass ₹110 crore in FY24, with a plan to reach profitability by FY26.

GoKwik’s leadership says the funding will fuel global expansion, particularly across Europe (UK, Germany, France, Italy) and Latin America, along with intensifying R&D investment for its AI‑first commerce stack. The company is targeting to transform its suite of applications into a “unified growth operating system” for consumer brands world‑wide, delivering a seamless, data‑led shopper experience. With a cash runway extending 60–70 months and aspirations to go public in the next 3–5 years, the startup is set for an ambitious global push.

Galina Chifina, Partner & CEO at RTP Global, praised GoKwik’s data‑driven vision, while Z47’s Rajat Agarwal mirrored that enthusiasm, reiterating confidence in the startup’s strategy.
