Adobe acquired Reelo, an Indian AI startup, on 4 September 2026.
The deal amount was undisclosed by either party.
Reelo's pre-acquisition valuation was ₹945 crore.
The deal was structured as technology licensing and onboarding of a 6-member team, not a full company acquisition.
Co-founder Dhruv Jaglan posted that Reelo will join Adobe to help bring AI to Fortune 500 marketers.
This is Adobe's second notable deal in India; the first was Rephrase.ai in 2023.
Adobe had a similar deal with Semrush for ₹17,958 crore last year.

The agentic AI marketing race is intensifying: Anthropic launched 'Claude for Marketers', and Adobe launched CX Enterprise in April 2026.
Adobe acquired a ready-made team and product instead of building in-house.
Reelo became an early competitor to Anthropic's Claude.

Reelo was founded in September 2023 by Dhruv Jaglan and Georgie Bobby, IIT Bombay batchmates.
Its initial product was a tool to create complex workflows from plain-language instructions, building AI agents for non-technical users across hundreds of tools.
It evolved into an 'AI employee' platform for marketing and go-to-market (GTM) teams.
The platform handled tasks such as competitive analysis, prospecting, LinkedIn outreach, Reddit marketing, and campaign research.
Within months of launch, Reelo had over 10,000 users.
