TripleDart surpasses $7 million in Annual Recurring Revenue with growth driven by AI, reporting a 50 percent EBIT margin.
Bengaluru, India
TripleDart, a self-funded B2B growth firm, announced today that it has surpassed $7 million in annual recurring revenue while maintaining a 50% EBIT margin. The company attributes this growth to software rather than increased personnel or financial inputs.
This achievement comes amid a vigorous discussion in the industry. Venture capitalists have invested over $300 million in “services-as-software” startups this year, gambling that labor-intensive service operations can achieve software-level profit margins. Most backed companies in this sector have focused on a specific area of marketing—such as design, content, or SEO—to validate this notion. However, TripleDart claims to have accomplished this across the entirety of the inbound marketing process, positioning itself as the first company in India to achieve this.
The driving force behind this transformation is Slate, an AI-agent platform that TripleDart developed internally after determining that no existing solutions met their needs. Slate’s agents perform real-time SEO, content creation, and AI visibility tasks, and a “cowork” mode facilitates collaboration between client teams and the agents. This approach is TripleDart's effort to create a marketing function that operates like a product instead of a traditional agency.
Over the past four and a half years, TripleDart has expanded to 120 employees and currently oversees more than $200 million in advertising expenditures for over 300 client firms, including General Electric, SentinelOne, ByteDance, Sage, and Glean in the US, along with WeWork, Cognizant, and MakeMyTrip in India.
“The services-as-software trend has attracted hundreds of millions to validate a single idea: that a services business can be operated at software-level margins,” stated Shiyam Sunder, Founder and Managing Director of TripleDart. “We have demonstrated this without a single dollar of external funding and for every marketing service, rather than just one aspect. At TripleDart, we don’t view ourselves merely as an agency with added software; we constructed the function from the ground up as software. When a self-funded team can achieve this profitably, the term ‘agency’ no longer applies. It becomes a category unto itself, not just an agency.”
TripleDart’s figures contribute to the broader conversation still unfolding in the market: whether service-oriented businesses can genuinely be transformed to operate at software margin levels or if venture capital is a necessary component. TripleDart believes this model is viable in India and can be profitable without needing funding.
