# Konnect Insights

Social media listening and brand analytics platform.

Konnect Insights is a bootstrapped, profitable omnichannel customer experience platform founded in 2016 and headquartered in Mumbai, India. The company enables brands to manage and respond to customer interactions across more than 30 channels, including social media, email, and chat, while providing competitive analytics, AI-powered agent tools, and a research cloud product for executive-level CX intelligence.

Founded by Sameer Narkar, an electronics and telecom engineer who spent seven years in software before starting the company, Konnect Insights grew from roughly $500K in annual revenue in 2019 to a current run rate of $8.5M ARR as of mid-2026, with a stated target of closing the year at $11M. The company has never taken venture capital, relying instead on a partner-led distribution model spanning more than 68 signed partners across 30-plus countries, supplemented by a 24-person SDR team and 13 account executives.

The business serves more than 500 paying customers, including large telecom brands, airlines, and banks, with an average contract value of approximately $25K per year and its largest customers paying over $100K annually. Konnect Insights reports EBITDA margins above 20% and describes itself as cash-flow positive, having turned down acquisition offers in the range of $40M to $50M.
