Brahma AI focuses on four global vertical sectors: media and entertainment, sports, health, and advertising. Its major global clients include Warner Bros., the NBA and the Mayo Clinic, and its strategic distribution partners include Google, Hakuhodo and DNEG.
Prabhu Narasimhan is the founder and CEO of Brahma AI, which was born out of Narasimhan’s vision to integrate the technology and capabilities developed at DNEG, Metaphysic, and Prime Focus Technologies to create a native AI platform for the world’s largest enterprises. Under his leadership, Brahma AI has built its native AI platform around Brahma AI Core and Brahma AI Studio, secured significant global clients and partnerships, and expanded the application of its technology in the media and entertainment, sports, healthcare, and advertising sectors.
Today, Brahma AI combines enterprise content intelligence and management with sophisticated AI creation technologies spanning visual AI, digital humans, voice, and multilingual performance. Its technology has received significant industry recognition, including a Technology and Engineering Emmy® Award in 2026.
Jo Plaete, co-founder and CTO, and one of the world’s leading experts in AI, visual AI, digital humans, and high-fidelity synthetic media, leads Brahma AI’s technology and R+D division as the company continues to develop and expand its AI platform.
Renuka Ramnath, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Multiples, commented:
“Brahma AI is reinventing the content supply chain in the age of AI. With a unique track record in cutting-edge technology and business innovation, the company helps organizations drive greater value through AI-powered content, intelligence, localization, digital humans and workflow automation. Its strong customer acquisition, differentiated capabilities and recognition, including a Technology and Engineering Emmy® Award in 2026, reinforce our belief in its ability to seize the multi-billion dollar market opportunity.”
“Our investment is based on the belief that every company is becoming a content company. Prabhu, Jo, and the rest of the team bring deep knowledge of the industries they serve and have transformed cutting-edge AI into highly relevant solutions, from enabling multilingual visual experiences for movies to developing digital twins for doctors. Multiples Private Equity will be an active partner as the company navigates the next phase of growth through investments in R+D, global market expansion, and talent and process development. The company has all the ingredients needed to build an enduring global institution in a sector that is just beginning to take shape.”
Namit Malhotra, Founder and CEO of DNEG, said:
“Brahma AI was born out of Prabhu’s bold idea: to bring together the technologies and capabilities developed at DNEG, Metaphysic, and Prime Focus Technologies to create a new independent technology company, designed for the AI era. What he and his team have built from that foundation in such a short amount of time has been extraordinary.”
“Through Prabhu’s leadership, Brahma AI has developed its own technology and products, won major global customers and partnerships, and established its own clear identity and ambition. This moment has a special symmetry. Prabhu, United Al Saqer Group and Thor Björgólfsson backed and invested in Prime Focus Limited, DNEG and me at a crucial stage of our development. At present, all of us support Brahma AI and Prabhu along with new investors led by Multiples.”
Prabhu Narasimhan, founder and CEO of Brahma AI, said:
“What excites me most about this investment is what it allows us to build next. We’re close to launching interactive digital humans, we’re developing Brahma AI to be compatible with any model, and we’re taking our technology to entirely new use cases. Safety, authenticity and provenance are fundamental steps within everything we are creating.”
“What attracted us to Multiples is our shared belief that category-defining companies are built through a combination of bold ambition, disciplined execution and long-term vision. I am thrilled to have Multiples by our side as we expand globally and continue to push the boundaries of enterprise AI.”
