As commerce shifts toward AI-powered search and shopping agents globally, that same structured data is what allows a merchant\u2019s products to be found, recommended and bought. Every merchant that joins Revora adds to a commerce graph that no messaging vendor, helpdesk or model provider can replicate,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The press release quoted co-founder Rahman as saying: \u201cWe\u2019re building Revora on one bet: that the businesses winning the next decade are the ones an AI can understand, represent, and sell for.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It further quoted the company\u2019s other co-founder, Baig, as saying: \u201cThe signal that matters most to us isn\u2019t the funding. It\u2019s that merchants using Revora are generating real revenue from it. That\u2019s the metric we\u2019re obsessed with, and the one we are building for.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Revora says it is live in more than 21 countries and the company\u2019s revenue grew 10 times since it focused on Saudi Arabia and the GCC in late 2024, and the team has plans to deepen their presence in the region with the latest funding round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From among those who invested in the company, i2i Ventures co-founder Kalsoom Lakhani said, \u201cWe are thrilled to back the team at Revora. They have built a product that cuts through the AI noise with tangible value today and a real scale potential. A product built from emerging markets for the region and traction that speaks for itself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, Rahat Ahmed, a general partner at Anchorless Bangladesh, said, \u201cRevora is precisely what talent in Bangladesh and Pakistan looks like when backed with conviction, a team that has consistently built ahead of the curve and generated real revenue from agentic AI in the Middle East. We backed Shuvo and team from the very beginning and are proud to double down as they scale.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reference Link:- <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawn.com\/news\/2010565\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.dawn.com\/news\/2010565<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Startup Revora has raised $2 million in a seed round as it shifts from functioning as a conversational commerce tool to an AI operating platform for ecommerce merchants, according to a press release issued by the company.
