Tiger Global has shown interest in a fintech app that is only seven months old but is already assisting millions of Indians in starting their investment and saving careers. Bengaluru-based startup Jar announced on Thursday that it has secured $32 million in Series A funding, only a few short months after securing its seed funding.
The new round was led by the New York-based investor, and it included contributions from dozens more, including Rocketship.vc, Stonks.
Force Ventures, Arkam Ventures, Klarna founder Victor Jacobsson, Suleman Ali of Ali Capital, Shamir Karkal of Sila Money, Byron Ling of Cannan Partners, and Joel John of Ledger Prime.
Two sources close to the situation put Jar’s valuation at around $200 million after the last round. The creators of Jar did not want to discuss the company’s price tag.
A large percentage of the over one billion Indians who now have bank accounts have never put any money in them. Nishchay Ag, CEO and co-founder of Jar, has speculated that misunderstandings are to blame.
He said this in an interview with TechCrunch: “Their world is cluttered with adverts of different financial instruments.”
