Pune-based SaaS unicorn Icertis has filed a Form D with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to raise $50 million, reinforcing its leadership in the SaaS industry. This latest funding move aligns with the company’s aggressive expansion strategy and increasing global demand for AI-driven contract lifecycle management (CLM) solutions.

Founded in 2009 by Samir Bodas and Monish Darda, Icertis has revolutionized enterprise contract management with its Icertis Contract Intelligence (ICI) platform.

The AI-powered solution helps businesses enhance compliance, mitigate risk, and improve operational efficiency. Fortune 500 companies across industries, including financial services, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, retail, and manufacturing, rely on Icertis to optimize contracts and drive revenue growth.

Icertis Strengthens Its Market Position

The $50 million funding round comes after Icertis raised $150 million in October 2022, which included a revolving credit facility and convertible financing from Silicon Valley Bank. Reports suggest SoftBank may increase its stake in this round.

The company has previously attracted investments from SAP, B Capital, Premji Invest, and Greycroft. To date, Icertis has raised approximately $522 million, solidifying its financial standing and fueling its expansion across North America, Europe, and Asia.

Icertis’ Indian entity, headquartered in Pune, has seen significant financial growth. In FY24, its operating revenue surged 33 percent to INR 863 crore ($103.6 million), up from INR 649 crore ($77.9 million) in FY23.

Meanwhile, net profit rose from INR 71 crore ($8.5 million) to INR 97 crore ($11.7 million), reflecting its strong market position. The company’s R&D center in Pune plays a crucial role in developing advanced contract intelligence capabilities.
