QwikBuild, a Bengaluru-based enterprise AI startup, has raised $2.3 million in a pre-seed funding round led by Japanese technology company Globalway. The round also saw participation from Blume Ventures, DeVC, Marsshot, Groww co-founder Lalit Keshre, and Curefoods CEO Ankit Nagori.
Founded in 2025, QwikBuild is led by founder and CEO Pradeep Ayyagari. The company develops AI-powered software-building tools that enable businesses to create custom applications, automate operational workflows, and modernise existing enterprise systems.
Its AgentQ platform uses specialised AI agents to translate business requirements into software applications. The platform supports application design, backend development, database configuration, testing, and deployment. Human developers provide assistance with complex integrations, architecture, and security requirements.
QwikBuild also enables businesses to develop applications that integrate with enterprise systems such as SAP and Salesforce, reducing the need to build every solution through conventional software development processes.
According to the company, QwikBuild serves more than 100 enterprise customers across India, Southeast Asia, the US, and the UAE.
The startup plans to use the new capital to expand its international go-to-market operations, establish a leadership team in the United States, and strengthen its commercial presence across Southeast Asia.
QwikBuild is also pursuing expansion into Japan through a joint venture with Globalway. In an October 9 announcement, Globalway said it had signed an agreement with Bengaluru-based Snow Mountain AI Private Limited, the developer of the QwikBuild platform, to establish a Japanese joint venture.
The planned venture will hold exclusive licensing rights for QwikBuild in the Japanese market and provide sales, implementation, and maintenance services to Japanese enterprises and their overseas operations. The venture is expected to become operational by the end of 2026.
