Brahma AI has raised $150 million through a preferred-share issuance led by Indian private equity firm Multiples, valuing the audiovisual artificial-intelligence company at $2 billion on a post-money basis. The transaction is primarily growth financing and is expected to fund research and development, product expansion, sales capabilities and the company’s international rollout.
The company was founded by British-Indian entrepreneur and technology investor Prabhu Narasimhan, who assembled technology and teams from visual-effects company DNEG, Prime Focus Technologies and generative-AI specialist Metaphysic. Metaphysic merged with Brahma AI in February 2025, bringing its work in synthetic media, digital likenesses and AI-assisted post-production into the combined business. Brahma AI’s shareholders include DNEG, United Al Saqer Group and investors that previously held stakes in Metaphysic.
Brahma AI positions its technology as an AI-native operating system for enterprise audiovisual content. Its development roadmap includes interactive digital humans and a platform capable of supporting multiple AI models. The company is targeting applications across media and entertainment, advertising, sports and healthcare, where audiovisual material increasingly needs to be generated, localised, modified or personalised at scale.
The platform is also being extended into content security, authenticity and provenance. These capabilities are intended to help customers determine whether an image or video is genuine or altered, trace its origin and establish the associated ownership rights. Such functions are becoming more prominent in enterprise content workflows as generative tools make synthetic and modified media less expensive to produce.
Brahma AI was recently named a recipient of a 2026 Technology & Engineering Emmy Award for Neural Performance, its technology for AI-based face replacement and performance-preserving post-production transformation. The underlying approach is designed to alter a performer’s appearance while retaining the expressions and characteristics of the original performance.
The company has partnerships with Google and Japanese advertising group Hakuhodo. The Google relationship combines Brahma AI’s audiovisual capabilities with Google’s broader AI ecosystem, while the Hakuhodo partnership provides access to advertising and creative-industry customers across Asia. These relationships give the company routes into both the underlying model-and-cloud layer and commercial content-production workflows.
Neither Brahma AI nor Multiples had publicly confirmed the financing terms when the transaction was reported. The available information identifies the round as a preferred-share issuance and places the company’s post-money valuation at $2 billion, but does not disclose the ownership acquired by Multiples or the participation of other investors.
