SaaS Startup FinBox Secures $40 Mn Funding Led By WestBridge Capital

Date:

Bengaluru-based B2B fintech SaaS startup FinBox has secured $40 million (approx. ₹350 crore) in its Series B round, led by WestBridge Capital with participation from existing investors A91 Partners and Aditya Birla Ventures. Of the total, $35 million came as primary capital to accelerate product launches, tech enhancements, and international expansion, while $5 million was raised via secondary share sales by early angel investors. The company will channel these funds into strengthening its AI-native lending platforms (Sentinel BRE, Prism), risk APIs (BankConnect, DeviceConnect, KYC), developing agentic AI workflows, and rolling out a sophisticated fraud intelligence suite.

Financials and Funding History

Founded in 2017, FinBox has steadily grown its B2B lending and risk infrastructure offerings, serving clients like HDFC Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Tata Capital, and Aditya Birla Capital. In the last financial year (FY24), FinBox’s revenue jumped 47% to ₹53.24 crore, up from ₹36.20 crore the year before. However, its net loss widened to ₹33.6 crore (from ₹23.09 crore in FY23), as expenses—mostly employee benefits and ongoing platform scaling—grew to ₹86.85 crore.

Prior to this round, FinBox had raised $15 million in a 2022 Series A led by A91 Partners, Aditya Birla Ventures, and Flipkart Ventures, and smaller rounds in earlier years, totaling well over ₹125 crore in cumulative funding before this year.
