Media SaaS Platform Frammer AI Raises USD 2 Mn Seed Round Led by Lumikai

Frammer AI, a media SaaS platform, has raised USD 2 million in a seed round led by venture capital firm Lumikai. Founded by former NDTV executives Suparna Singh, Kawaljit Singh Bedi, and Arijit Chatterjee, the Delhi-based company offers an AI-powered studio designed to help enterprises convert long-form content into engaging, monetisable videos.

The funds will be used to expand into sports and entertainment, strengthen Frammer's tech team, and enhance data training in key areas.

Suparna Singh, CEO and Co-founder of Frammer AI, said, "The need for and interest in short-form video has never been higher. We're thrilled to hear from clients that Frammer is creating larger audiences for them by utilising all their video to its fullest potential. We've used all our experience and knowledge to train Frammer to deliver the most accurate results for complex content, and it's gratifying to see very effective results."

Frammer AI uses advanced AI technology to streamline video creation, turning 30-minute videos into 35 short-form packages within minutes. The platform also provides transcripts and captions and automatically selects the most engaging segments for social media platforms like Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.

Frammer is tailored for Indian languages and mixed-language recognition, training models to detect people, faces, logos, and other visual elements. It has attracted major clients, including The India Today Group, Zee News, and ACKO Insurance, and is the AI content partner for US-based Brightcove.

It currently works with all content teams at India Today, with 70% of their content, including prime-time programming, processed on Frammer. Their Live Cutter feature allows them to clip live streams and publish across multiple platforms simultaneously, says Chatterjee.

The company was recently named the AI content partner for Brightcove, a US-listed firm that provides streaming services to publishers.
