Delhi-based Candidate.live raises initial funding from T9L Qube

NEW DELHI: Co-founded by Amit Gupta and Nayab Ali, Candidate.live, a digital platform for narrative
structuring, sentiment tracking, and insight generation, has raised its initial funding from venture studio T9L Qube.

The company aims to addresses a critical gap in the campaign landscape: the lack of a unified platform to streamline audience engagement, strategy development, and campaign tracking. Traditional campaigns rely on a fragmented array of specialised tools, which leads to inefficiencies, communication breakdowns, and poorly optimised resource allocation.


Compounding these challenges are high costs associated with maintaining multiple disconnected systems, from overlapping subscriptions and redundant training to complex integrations. These issues dilute messaging, delay decision-making, and limit scalability, leaving campaigns struggling to connect with voters effectively.

Candidate.live is solving this problem by leveraging cutting-edge AI and advanced NLP-based models to provide real-time sentiment analysis, stance detection, and actionable insights. Its feature, an AI-powered middle layer, integrates fragmented data—from voter sentiment to compliance workflows—into a single, cohesive system. The platform aims empowers leaders to make faster, more informed decisions, optimise resources, and maintain consistent messaging.

“Our mission is simple—turn chaos into clarity and data into decisive growth,” said the co-founders in a statement.

Fahad Moti Khan and Gaurav Gaggar, co-founders of T9L Qube, said in a statement. “We believe Candidate.live will redefine how campaigns and organisations navigate today’s fast-changing digital ecosystem.”
