In a milestone that reflects the explosive demand for AI-powered development, Emergent has crossed a $100 million annual recurring revenue (ARR) run rate in just 250 days—one of the fastest growth trajectories seen in the AI software ecosystem.
The growth story has been nothing short of dramatic. The company scaled from $15 million ARR within the first three months to $50 million in seven months. But what truly stands out is the most recent surge—ARR doubled from $50 million to $100 million in just 30 days, highlighting a sharp acceleration in adoption.
According to the company, the rapid growth is being driven by the rising demand for AI-driven software creation tools that allow users to build production-ready applications without the traditional complexity of coding, infrastructure setup, and long development cycles.
Emergent’s platform focuses on simplifying the software development process—reducing technical barriers and enabling individuals, startups, and enterprises to move from idea to deployment faster than ever before. The approach aligns with a broader industry trend where AI is transforming software creation from a specialist skill into a mass-access capability.
The company revealed the announcement on the sidelines of the India AI Impact Summit, where it also shared its expanding global reach.
So far:
6+ million builders
Across 190+ countries
Have created over 7 million applications on the platform
This level of adoption indicates that AI-assisted development is no longer experimental—it’s becoming mainstream across geographies and use cases.
Commenting on the milestone, Mukund Jha, Co-founder and CEO of Emergent, said:
“Crossing $100 million in ARR so soon isn’t just a milestone, it’s proof that the way people want to build software is changing. We set out to remove the complexity and guesswork from software creation, and the market has responded with tremendous speed and confidence.”
Emergent’s growth reflects a larger shift in the tech landscape:
AI-first development is replacing traditional coding-heavy workflows
Speed-to-market is becoming a competitive advantage
Non-traditional developers and business users are entering the software creation space
The demand for low-code, no-code, and AI-assisted platforms is accelerating globally
If the current trajectory continues, companies like Emergent could play a central role in reshaping how digital products are built—moving the industry toward a future where building software is faster, more accessible, and increasingly AI-driven.
Bottom line: Emergent’s $100M ARR milestone isn’t just a growth metric—it’s a signal that the software industry is entering a new phase where AI becomes the primary engine of creation.
