Recent MoEngage News
MoEngage closed a stretch of growth anchored by a two-tranche $280 million Series F. The first $100 million, led by Goldman Sachs Alternatives with A91 Partners, closed in November 2025 to scale its Merlin AI suite and expand go-to-market teams in North America — now its largest revenue region — along with EMEA, SEA and ANZ.
A second $180 million tranche led by ChrysCapital and Dragon Funds followed in December 2025, completing an employee and investor liquidity event. The platform now supports digital experiences for more than 2 billion people monthly across 75 countries, with SoundCloud's migration of 120 million users in 12 weeks cited as a marquee deployment.
On the product side, MoEngage's Merlin AI suite — including Offer Decisioning and Campaign Decisioning Agents — anchors its AI push across email, mobile push, in-app and web channels. The company launched Merlin AI Custom Agents in June 2026, adding marketer-defined guardrails, full activity-log visibility and an open Model Context Protocol server with connectivity to external systems including Claude and ChatGPT.
Agentic AI & 1:1 Engagement
Agentic AI is moving enterprises from rules-based automation to systems that perceive, reason and act autonomously across the full customer journey.
From Reactive to Predictive
Unlike traditional chatbots or copilots, agentic platforms observe journeys in real time, adapt strategies dynamically and address issues before they escalate. These systems plan and act across multiple tools with minimal human guidance.
In practice, an autonomous agent draws on support tickets, product usage, purchase history and system status, then executes multi-step responses without requiring customers to re-explain context at each handoff.
Orchestration Across the Journey
Agentic systems coordinate across sales, service and marketing touchpoints, delivering context-aware experiences without constant human oversight. This shifts digital experience platforms beyond static automation toward dynamic orchestration.
For chief customer officers, the governance stakes are high. As AI agents take on autonomous decisions, CCO accountability shifts from task management to strategy, oversight and human-AI collaboration.
