Rocket, an AI-powered app-building platform, on Tuesday (September 23, 2025) said it has raised $15 million (about ₹133 crore) in seed funding led by Salesforce Ventures and Accel, and looks to utilise the funds towards global expansion and product development.
The Surat-headquartered startup, in a statement, said the capital will be deployed to bolster research and development, accelerate product innovation, and expand its global footprint.
As part of its growth plans, Rocket will establish a North American headquarters in Palo Alto, California, and expand its engineering and product teams in India, aiming to double headcount over the next 12-15 months.
“The new funding … will help us continue to build our product capabilities, especially as we expand into new markets and use our new office in Palo Alto as a gateway to Silicon Valley’s enterprise ecosystem, where we continue to see huge demand for application-building solutions that can scale natively with AI,” said Deepak Dhanak, co-founder and COO of Rocket.
