CodeKarma

CodeKarma is a software productivity platform headquartered in Bengaluru, India, founded in 2024 by Anantharam Vanchi Prakash, a former executive at Amazon and Flipkart. The company aims to address the growing complexity of software development, particularly with the rise of AI-generated code.

The platform's core service involves integrating real-time production insights directly into the developer's integrated development environment (IDE). This allows engineering teams and AI systems to proactively identify hidden risks, eliminate unused or 'dead' code, and reduce technical debt during the development cycle, rather than after deployment. By creating a persistent feedback loop between the production environment and the development workflow, CodeKarma's technology seeks to improve code quality, performance, and maintainability. The service is designed to help developers, engineering managers, product managers, and CTOs build and ship software with greater speed and confidence.

The company targets tech-first industries such as e-commerce, fintech, and logistics, where large, rapidly evolving codebases are common. Its business model is built around providing a foundational AI-native product that integrates with existing AI tools and IDEs like Cursor and Copilot to enhance debugging and refactoring. In August 2025, CodeKarma announced it had raised $2.5 million in a pre-seed funding round co-led by Prosus, Accel, and Xeed Ventures, with participation from SenseAI Ventures and Stargazer Ventures. This capital is intended to accelerate product development, expand into new enterprise verticals, and strengthen its global presence, with a particular focus on the U.S. market.
