History
Kuvera was founded in 2016 by Gaurav Rastogi - ex-portfolio manager at Morgan Stanley and Neelabh Sanyal - former vice-president with Axis Capital.[3] Mayank Sharma, cloud architect at Amagi joined as the third co-founder in 2017, assuming the responsibility of head of technology.[2][4]
Kuvera.in derives its name from Kuber (also called Kubera or Kuvera), the lord of riches and treasures according to Hindu mythology.[5]

Kuvera raised a total of $500,000 in two rounds of angel funding. In March 2018, it raised $250,000 in the second round of angel investment from Baskar Subramanian, co-founder, Amagi, Saket Kumar, Managing Director, Swank Capital among others.[2][8][9]
In April 2019, Kuvera received a Series A investment of $4.5 Million from the lead investor Eight Roads Fintech Strategic Investments,[10][11] the investment arm of Fidelity International for building the team and expanding the product portfolio.[12][13]
The company also launched a group health insurance cover for its users underwritten by Bharti AXA that covers medical expenses.[14]
