Krafton-backed Bobble AI enters insolvency over $690,000 debt default

Bobble AI has entered the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process after India's National Company Law Tribunal admitted a petition against its parent company, Talent Unlimited Online Services, over a default of ₹5.77 crore. The case was filed by Axis Trustee Services following the company's failure to repay secured non-convertible debentures originally issued for ₹25 crore in March 2023. The AI-powered conversation platform had raised ₹12.9 crore from South Korean gaming major Krafton in August 2025. Despite 25% revenue growth to ₹37.67 crore in FY2024, the company's losses widened 40% to ₹60.88 crore. Bobble AI acknowledged its inability to repay the debt, citing liquidity constraints and insufficient operating surplus. The tribunal appointed Manish Agarwal as Interim Resolution Professional to oversee the insolvency process.
