    Perplexity AI plans expansion in India, announces new hiring initiative

    What's the story

    Perplexity AI, an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered search start-up, is gearing up to expand its presence in India.

    The company's co-founder and CEO Aravind Srinivas took to LinkedIn to announce that they are looking for a candidate based in India for the same.

    The successful candidate will be required to work in a start-up environment and travel to meet strategic partners and institutions.

    User base

    Popularity and future growth prospects

    Perplexity AI has already gained over a million users in India, indicating the increasing popularity of its offering.

    Founded in August 2022 by Srinivas, Denis Yarats, Johnny Ho, and Andy Konwinski, the firm launched its answer engine in December 2022.

    It recently raised $500 million in funding, which tripled its valuation to $9 billion.

    Growth strategy

    Ambitious expansion plans in India

    Speaking to Moneycontrol, Srinivas said he hopes to grow the company's user base by 10-100 times, thanks to India's huge population.

    The answer engine already has over 10 million active users globally and hopes to take on tech giants such as Google and Microsoft.

    Srinivas also said that awareness of generative AI is pretty strong among the Indian public.

    Industry praise

    Perplexity AI's innovative approach earns industry recognition

    Perplexity AI's innovative approach has caught the attention of industry peers.

    Sridhar Ramaswamy, CEO of AI data cloud firm Snowflake, praised Perplexity for its API-driven strategy that permitted it to innovate quickly and build a successful product.

    The acknowledgment is particularly noteworthy as Ramaswamy's own firm, Neeva, tried building a search engine from scratch but found it unsustainable.
