Anthropic hits $3 Bn annualized revenue amid surging AI demand

0

Artificial intelligence company Anthropic has reached approximately $3 billion in annualized revenue, according to two sources familiar with the figures—marking a strong early signal of business adoption of generative AI.

This revenue milestone, which estimates the company’s current monthly earnings projected over a year, represents a dramatic leap from $1 billion in December 2024. The figure rose to $2 billion by the end of March and hit $3 billion by the end of May, one source noted.

While OpenAI’s ChatGPT has seen widespread consumer interest, many enterprises remain in the experimental phase of AI implementation despite growing executive enthusiasm. Anthropic’s sharp revenue growth—driven largely by selling its AI models as services to other businesses—signals increasing commercial demand, one of the sources said.

A major contributor to this growth is code generation, a domain where Anthropic’s models are especially strong. The San Francisco-based startup, backed by Alphabet and Amazon, has gained recognition for its AI’s superior programming abilities. Tools in the codegen space have seen a surge in adoption recently, frequently powered by Anthropic’s technology.

Thanks to this rising demand, Anthropic is distinguishing itself from other SaaS providers. In fact, one venture capitalist noted that the company’s quarterly revenue growth makes it one of the fastest-growing SaaS companies they’ve ever seen.

“We’ve looked at the IPOs of over 200 public software companies, and this growth rate has never happened,” said Meritech General Partner Alex Clayton, who is not an Anthropic investor and has no inside knowledge of its sales.

He noted, however, that the comparison isn’t entirely apples-to-apples, as Anthropic also generates consumer revenue through subscriptions to its Claude chatbot. Still, the contrast is striking. Snowflake, a publicly traded SaaS company, needed six quarters to grow its annualized revenue from $1 billion to $2 billion, Clayton pointed out.

OpenAI, a key rival of Anthropic, is reportedly on track to generate over $12 billion in total revenue by the end of 2025, up from $3.7 billion in 2024, according to three people familiar with the matter. Unlike Anthropic’s reported annualized revenue, OpenAI’s figure represents total revenue for the calendar year.

The two AI powerhouses appear to be carving out distinct market positions. While both offer enterprise and consumer-facing AI products, OpenAI is increasingly seen as a consumer-centric company. A significant portion of its revenue comes from ChatGPT subscriptions, OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar said in an interview.

Though OpenAI hasn’t disclosed specific enterprise revenue, the company reported in May that ChatGPT Enterprise now has 3 million paid seats, up from 2 million in February. Notable customers include T-Mobile and Morgan Stanley.

In the consumer AI space, Anthropic’s Claude lags behind ChatGPT in popularity. According to analytics firm Similarweb, Claude’s web traffic in April represented just 2% of ChatGPT’s, signaling much lower user engagement.

Founded in 2021 by former OpenAI researchers with a different vision for AI development, the company recently closed a $3.5 billion funding round, bringing its valuation to $61.4 billion. By comparison, OpenAI is currently valued at around $300 billion.

The race between Anthropic and OpenAI highlights the rapidly evolving landscape of generative AI. While OpenAI dominates the consumer market with ChatGPT, Anthropic is emerging as a major force in enterprise adoption—bolstered by surging demand for its coding-focused models and a steep rise in annualized revenue. As both companies expand their offerings and valuations soar, the generative AI sector is proving to be one of the most competitive and high-growth areas in tech today.

India’s hospitality sector to attract $1 Bn in investments by 2028: Report

Jaideep Dang, Managing Director, JLL Hotels and Hospitality Group, India

India’s hospitality sector demonstrated impressive growth between January to March 2025 and is projected to attract USD 1 billion in investments by 2028. This marks a significant increase compared to the USD 340 million in hotel transactions recorded last year, according to a report released on Friday.

The global commercial real estate and investment management firm JLL noted that Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) increased by 16.3 percent during the first quarter of this year compared to the same period in 2024.

The sector’s strong momentum continued into the previous quarter as well, with an 8 percent rise in RevPAR from October to December 2024 across India. Investor confidence remains robust, reflected in 79 new hotel signings totaling 9,478 keys during the January-March period, indicating ongoing growth in India’s hospitality market.

“India’s hospitality sector continues to demonstrate exceptional resilience and growth potential, with Q1 2025 showing remarkable RevPAR growth across major markets, particularly Bengaluru’s impressive 38.3 per cent increase. The robust pipeline of 79 new hotel signings representing 9,478 keys this quarter reflects strong investor confidence in India’s hospitality fundamentals,” JLL Managing Director, Hotels and Hospitality Group, India, Jaideep Dang said.

JLL projects that the hospitality industry will attract USD 1 billion in investments by 2028, highlighting a market transformation that balances short-term performance gains with strategic long-term positioning across various tiers and segments.

The report identified Bengaluru as the top performer, experiencing an impressive 38.3 percent year-on-year RevPAR growth, largely driven by the Aero India 2025 event, which boosted both occupancy rates and average daily rates. Delhi and Mumbai followed closely with strong RevPAR growth of 26.2 percent and 21.3 percent, respectively, supported by solid occupancy levels.

Chennai’s hospitality sector also delivered notable results, with an 18.7 percent increase in RevPAR, fueled by rising corporate travel and key events such as the Annual Leather Fair and USICON at the Chennai Trade Centre.

Hyderabad posted a robust 15.1 percent RevPAR growth despite a slight dip in occupancy, reflecting strength in rate increases. The development pipeline remains active, with 31 new branded hotels totaling 3,253 keys opening between January and March 2025, the report added.

Strong performance metrics, key events, and expanding investor confidence are driving the Indian hospitality sector’s robust growth trajectory. Continued development and strategic positioning will likely reinforce India’s standing as a dynamic and attractive destination for hospitality investments in the coming years.

Prestige Estates and Valor Group to develop ₹4,500-Cr office complex in Mumbai

0

Prestige Estates Projects Ltd has teamed up with Valor Group to jointly develop a ₹4,500 crore office complex in Mumbai.

According to a regulatory filing made on Thursday, Prestige Estates announced that it has signed a framework agreement with Valor Estate Ltd and its wholly owned subsidiaries to co-develop a project on land measuring a total of 21,978.22 square metres in Andheri West, Mumbai.

The upcoming development will offer a total leasable area of 1.5 million square feet and will have a Gross Development Value (GDV) of approximately ₹4,500 crore.

Under the terms of the agreement, Prestige Estates and Valor Group will each hold a 50% economic stake in the project.

“The company and Valor Group shall jointly develop an approximately 1.50 million sq. ft. leasable area commercial office complex on a 50:50 joint venture basis,” Prestige Estates said.

Prestige Estates will inject ₹504 crore into the special purpose vehicle (SPV) that will execute the project’s development.

The strategic partnership between Prestige Estates and Valor Group marks a significant move in Mumbai’s commercial real estate market. Furthermore, the developers are investing ₹4,500 crore and sharing equal ownership to transform the upcoming office complex in Andheri West into a landmark development.

Moreover, Prestige Estates’ infusion of ₹504 crore into the SPV underscores its strong commitment to the project, which is expected to deliver 1.5 million sq ft of premium leasable space. This collaboration not only strengthens both companies’ presence in the city but also reflects growing investor confidence in high-value commercial infrastructure.

Grammarly raises $1 Bn from General Catalyst to enhance AI capabilities

0
Shishir Mehrotra, CEO, Grammarly

Grammarly has secured $1 billion in non-dilutive funding from General Catalyst to enhance its artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, with the goal of evolving into a full-fledged productivity platform, the companies announced on Thursday.

Widely recognized for its writing assistant tool, Grammarly intends to use the funding to support its sales and marketing efforts, as well as pursue strategic acquisitions. The company plans to develop additional AI-driven communication and productivity tools and may also integrate third-party tools into its platform, leveraging its base of 40 million daily active users.

The investment marks one of the largest deployments from General Catalyst’s Customer Value Fund (CVF), designed to help late-stage tech firms like Grammarly accelerate growth through targeted customer acquisition. By freeing up capital usually spent on sales and marketing, Grammarly can redirect resources toward advancing its product development.

Unlike traditional equity investments, General Catalyst will not take ownership in Grammarly. Instead, it will receive a capped return based on a percentage of the revenue generated from customer acquisition efforts funded by the investment.

Founded in 2009, Grammarly generates over $700 million in annual revenue and remains profitable. The company’s recent appointment of Shishir Mehrotra—former CEO of productivity platform Coda—as its new chief executive officer underscores its ambitions to expand into a broader suite of AI-powered workplace tools.

“As Grammarly is going through a huge transformation of going from being what is mostly known as a single-purpose agent to being an agent platform, it just felt very important for us to be able to bet big in our product development and in M&A as well as in our growth strategies,” Mehrotra said in an interview.

He added that the company has an eventual goal to go public, although no imminent plans.

“I’m right now just focused on making sure we’re innovating with new products and growing as fast as we can. But when we feel ready, we’ll go public,” Mehrotra added.

If successful, this dedicated growth investment could also enhance Grammarly’s overall valuation—and indirectly benefit General Catalyst’s existing equity stake from its participation in Grammarly’s Series B round in 2017.

Based in San Francisco, Grammarly has raised more than $550 million in venture capital funding, according to PitchBook. Investors last valued the company at $13 billion in 2021.

A separate group of limited partners backs General Catalyst’s Customer Value Fund (CVF), which operates independently from the firm’s primary venture funds. The firm did not include CVF in its recently announced $8 billion capital raise.

This model reflects a broader strategic shift under CEO Hemant Taneja, as General Catalyst moves beyond the traditional venture capital framework by introducing innovative funding structures. The CVF focuses on growth-stage investments tied directly to customer acquisition performance, offering a more predictable return path.

To date, the Customer Value Fund has backed nearly 50 companies, including notable names like Lemonade and Fivetran, aligning its investments closely with measurable growth outcomes.

“Companies like Grammarly basically have a machine where they can invest dollars in sales and marketing and generate a very consistent return,” said Pranav Singhvi, Managing Director at General Catalyst. “With this wave of AI, giving Grammarly the firepower to actually go and invest could land those customers beyond the 40 million.”

Grammarly’s $1 billion non-dilutive financing from General Catalyst marks a pivotal moment in its evolution from a writing assistant into a comprehensive AI-powered productivity platform. This strategic partnership allows Grammarly to scale customer acquisition and invest more heavily in product innovation without giving up equity.

The resort thrives as a close-knit community where passionate individuals unite around shared principles, motivated by a genuine commitment to social welfare and environmental sustainability. At Clarks, excellence goes beyond service quality—it is deeply embedded in the company’s culture and values.

While many luxury resorts emphasize grandeur, Clarks Exotica India takes a more holistic approach, placing people and purpose at its heart.

By celebrating India’s rich heritage and embracing sustainable practices, the Clarks Exotica India team lives by values that promote respect and accountability both within the workplace and the wider community.

Moreover, these young trees represent hope, growth, and a shared responsibility to nurture and protect the planet.

This effort reflects a wider eco-friendly philosophy that goes beyond mere symbolism. Clarks Exotica actively engages in water conservation and emission reduction and promotes sustainable practices among its staff. By integrating green values into everyday activities, the resort fosters continuous, collective environmental stewardship, magnifying the impact of even the smallest steps.

For the Clarks family, culture is more than just a concept—it’s a dynamic, evolving commitment that turns daily work into a meaningful journey filled with purpose and pride.

Clarks Exotica Convention Resort & Spa represents a new vision of luxury—one where purpose and passion blend seamlessly with comfort and sophistication. By integrating social responsibility, environmental care, and people-centric values into every aspect of its operations, the resort redefines true excellence beyond mere material wealth. It stands as a shining example of how the hospitality sector can adopt deeper commitments, demonstrating that meaningful actions create lasting change.

Clarks Exotica India is elevating hospitality standards by combining luxury with a firm dedication to social and environmental responsibility. Their steadfast focus on sustainable practices and community support is setting a transformative benchmark in the industry.

In a world that often equates success with appearances, Clarks Exotica shows us that the most enduring accomplishments come from purpose, unity, and a genuine concern for our surroundings. Through its continuous efforts and the passionate commitment of its team, the resort exemplifies how hospitality can be a powerful force for good.

County Group acquires ₹400-Cr land parcel in Wave City NH24, Ghaziabad

0
Sachin Arora, founder of Moneytree Realty

NCR-based real estate developer County Group has purchased a 13.3-acre land parcel in Wave City, NH24, Ghaziabad, for approximately ₹400 crore, according to sources familiar with the matter.

Wave City, a smart city project by the Wave Group, is located next to NH-24 and covers more than 4,200 acres. The group has previously sold several land parcels to other real estate developers to generate funds.

County Group plans to develop around 1,000 residential units on the newly acquired land, offering four different apartment sizes, with the total construction area spanning over 3 million square feet.

“Buyers are keen to invest in the projects by the developer since previous projects by the developer have consistently yielded significant returns for investors, with many reporting a 3x to 4x appreciation on their initial investments. Also, Wave City NH24 has emerged as a rapidly growing residential hub and is benefited by infrastructure and connectivity to Delhi and other NCR regions,” said Sachin Arora, founder of Moneytree Realty.

The operational Hindon Airport, now offering commercial flights, significantly boosts the location’s connectivity. The upcoming Jewar International Airport will also boost property values. Once fully functional, Jewar Airport will handle millions of passengers annually, fueling economic growth and drawing increased investment into the region.

County Group has already delivered three major projects:

  • Coco County, a 12.21 lakh sq. ft. premium residential development in Sector 10, Greater Noida (West)
  • Ivy County, a 14.74 lakh sq. ft. luxury project located in Sector 75, Noida
  • County 107, a 14.78 lakh sq. ft. development in Sector 107, Noida, recognized as the city’s first ultra-luxury residential project.

Meanwhile, Wave Group has sold land to more than six developers to enhance its cash flow. Collectively, these developers plan to construct approximately 15 million square feet of real estate over the coming years.

County Group’s strategic land acquisition in Wave City, NH24, Ghaziabad, underscores the growing investor confidence in the region’s real estate potential. County Group plans to develop 1,000 residential units and leverage its proven track record of premium projects to further strengthen its presence in the NCR property market.

Horizon3.ai in talks to raise $100 Mn in new round

0
Snehal Antani, CEO & Co-founder of Horizon3.ai

Horizon3.ai, a cybersecurity startup known for its autonomous penetration testing tools, is in the process of raising $100 million in a new funding round and has already secured at least $73 million, according to a recent SEC filing.

The round is being led by NEA, as confirmed by two individuals familiar with the matter. One source estimated the company’s valuation at over $750 million, although it remains unclear whether this figure is pre- or post-money. Another source stated that the company has either completed or is about to complete the full $100 million raise and generates approximately $30 million in annual recurring revenue.

With this deal, Horizon3.ai marks NEA’s second significant investment in a cybersecurity startup within a month, following Veza’s $108 million funding round announced in April at an $800 million valuation.

Back in August 2023, Horizon3.ai secured $40 million in a Series C round led by Craft Ventures, with participation from SignalFire. That funding raised the company’s total capital to $78.5 million and aimed to expand its R&D efforts, strengthen channel partnerships, and grow its engineering team, according to co-founder and CEO Snehal Antani.

A team of former U.S. Special Operations cyber operators, entrepreneurs, and cybersecurity experts founded Horizon3.ai in 2019. Prior to co-founding the company, CEO Snehal Antani served as CTO at Splunk and led cyber teams within the U.S. Military’s Joint Special Operations Command.

As AI-powered attacks become increasingly sophisticated and widespread, the San Francisco-based startup offers autonomous threat detection tools designed to help organizations defend against these emerging threats.

In a significant milestone, Horizon3.ai received FedRAMP authorization earlier this month, allowing it to sell its cybersecurity solutions to U.S. federal agencies. Additionally, in February, the company reported 101% year-over-year revenue growth and surpassed 150% of its Q4 pipeline goals, although it did not disclose specific figures.

Horizon3.ai’s latest funding round underscores growing investor confidence in AI-driven cybersecurity solutions, as threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale. With strong backing from major firms like NEA, rapid revenue growth, and recent FedRAMP authorization, Horizon3.ai is well-positioned to expand its footprint in both commercial and government sectors. Its unique foundation—built by cybersecurity veterans and ex-military operatives—gives it a strategic edge in tackling today’s most advanced cyber threats.
