Geography

Headquartered in Singapore (1 Scotts Road, Shaw Centre), with a U.S. office at 136 Madison Avenue, New York and an India office/engineering hub in Koramangala, Bengaluru. Platform coverage spans 24 countries and 18 languages; expansion into the Americas was a stated use of 2024 funding. [2][3][6][7]

History

Founded in 2018 in Singapore with an engineering hub in Bangalore, India. The company built the Foresight Engine insights platform, then added Concept Genie for generative concept creation and Screen Winner for concept screening, and launched the FoodGPT chatbot in late 2023 as part of a move into generative AI. In March 2024 it raised a $5.7 million Series A1 led by Tin Men Capital, and in June 2024 announced a $1.45 million Series A1 extension from InnoVen Capital. In December 2025 it announced Arya, an agentic AI product for food and CPG innovation, in an announcement that describes Ai Palette as a GlobalData company. [2][6][7]

Risks & controversies

Sources note that Ai Palette's outputs do not replace traditional consumer testing, which is still required to refine and validate concepts in the real world. Funding figures reported across sources are inconsistent: AgFunderNews states cumulative funding of $11.2 million after the $5.7 million Series A1, while the company's own June 2024 release states total funding of over $7.7 million after a $1.45 million extension. AgFunderNews also discloses that its parent company, AgFunder, is an investor in Ai Palette. Customer performance claims (e.g., 60% revenue increase for Dole) are self-reported. [0][6][7]
