Co-Founder & CEO of Emergent
"Emergent is a Bengaluru-based AI vibe-coding platform that lets anyone build, test, and deploy web and mobile apps using natural language, no coding required."
Mukund Jha
Co-Founder & CEO • Emergent
Mukund Jha and his brother Madhav Jha (CTO) launched Emergent with a bold vision: strip away the technical barrier of software engineering and enable anyone to build production-grade web and mobile applications using plain English.
By leveraging natural language processing and autonomous code generation, Emergent allows creators, founders, and businesses to design, test, and deploy full-stack software without writing a single line of traditional code.
The platform's explosive growth captured immediate market attention. Emergent secured a landmark $130 million Series C funding round at a $1.5 billion post-money valuation—representing a massive five-fold leap in valuation within just six months.
This rapid trajectory officially crowned Emergent as India's third AI unicorn of 2026, solidifying Bengaluru's status as a top-tier hub for global AI application development.
With high-velocity execution and a rapidly growing user base across global markets, Mukund Jha is pioneering the shift toward intent-driven development. Emergent continues to push the boundaries of autonomous app deployment for the next generation of builders.
"The next million software applications won't be written line-by-line in code. They will be described through natural language and brought to life by intelligent platforms."
