Global Cloud Media SaaS Player
Amagi operates a cloud-native SaaS platform that enables content owners, broadcasters, and advertisers to distribute and monetize ad-supported video across Connected TV (CTV) and FAST (Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV) platforms.
The company has built a strong international footprint, with a substantial portion of its revenue coming from the United States and Europe, serving leading global media and streaming platforms. Backed by investors including Accel India—who continue to remain invested post-IPO—Amagi is widely viewed as a leader in AI-driven media monetization technology.
Improving Financial Trajectory
While near-term market conditions impacted the stock’s listing performance, Amagi’s financial fundamentals have shown steady improvement.

Boost for Bengaluru’s Startup Ecosystem
Amagi’s listing adds to a growing roster of Bengaluru-born technology companies accessing public markets. The IPO is expected to encourage more Indian SaaS and media-tech startups to consider listings, signaling confidence in innovation-led growth despite short-term macroeconomic headwinds.
