- Mannjal
Participated · Seed · Dec 2025
Founded in 2023 in Bengaluru by Prashant Adurty, Aman Bhargava, and Harshit Lingamneni, Mannjal provides an end-to-end lending infrastructure that covers field operations, loan origination, and credit decisioning. The platform supports both digital and physical data journeys, enriches borrower profiles with external data sources, and structures information for risk analysis and decision support. Lenders can configure custom workflows for risk, operations, and business teams, which the company says cuts turnaround times by 50–75% and lifts sanction ratios to 85–90%. Over the past 18 months, Mannjal has facilitated more than Rs 1,000 crore in disbursements across unsecured business loans, loans against property, and affordable housing finance. Its network now includes over 75 lending institutions. With the fresh capital, the startup plans to expand its lender network and accelerate product development, further strengthening its market position.

Founded in January 2025 by Jayesh Kamat, Sandeep Krishna, Mazhar Faruqi, Dr. Santosh Wakchaure, and Mohit Lala, the startup currently serves Navi Mumbai and suburban Mumbai.

- MyNaksh
Led · Seed · Sep 2025
MyNaksh is building a ‘personal astrology guide’ that uses artificial intelligence to understand each user’s unique context and deliver tailored astrological insights from the first interaction. The product blends human expert astrologers, one-on-one connections, and AI-generated readings to deepen user trust and engagement over time. Positioned as a faith-tech offering, the company aims to restore astrology’s credibility by replacing gimmicky, chat-first services with a richer, data-driven experience. The founding team—Nitesh Salvi, Devaang Agarwalla, Gaurav Mohta, and Piyush Nagle—draws on leadership experience from consumer-tech giants such as PhonePe, Razorpay, Hotstar, Gameskraft, and Swiggy. Backers believe this mix of product judgment and a human-in-the-loop approach differentiates MyNaksh in India’s under-innovated spiritual market. With fresh capital, the startup plans to scale its AI platform rapidly and reach millions of users seeking personalized self-awareness and growth tools.
