The $100 Million Sprint: How Twin Brothers from Bihar Built the World's Fastest-Growing AI Startup — and Opened the Software Economy to Everyone
In the summer of 2025, Mukund Jha and Madhav Jha launched a platform that let anyone build a production-ready application by typing a sentence into their phone. They had no way of knowing whether anyone would use it. They had no enterprise sales pipeline, no marketing budget, and no precedent for what they were attempting. Eight months later, Emergent crossed $100 million in annual recurring revenue — doubling from $50 million in a single 30-day window — and became the fastest-growing AI startup in the world by revenue scale. The platform now counts six million builders across 190 countries who have created more than seven million applications. The company, barely a year old, is in talks to raise $250 million at a $1.5 billion valuation, a fivefold jump from its $300 million Series B valuation less than 90 days earlier.
