Nava, an artificial intelligence startup, has raised US$22 million in a Series A funding round led by Greenoaks Capital.
Other investors like RTP Global and Unicorn India Ventures also joined the round. The company is now focusing on building a complete AI cloud platform across the Asia-Pacific region.
Nava will use the funds to increase its GPU computing power and build AI data centres. It also plans to hire more experts in areas like data centre design, GPU engineering, and business roles in India and Southeast Asia, especially in Singapore where data centre development is more advanced.
“This fundraise marks an important step in our journey. What started as an AI-native cloud platform has now evolved into something much larger, where we are building the foundational cloud platform layer for AI in Asia,” Abhinav Sinha, co-founder and CEO, Nava.
Madhur Makkar, principal at RTP Global, said, “In under a year, this team has demonstrated exceptional execution and is strongly positioned to address the growing need for purpose-built AI infrastructure across Asia.”
Bhaskar Majumdar, managing partner, Unicorn India Ventures, added that it is witnessing a structural shift with AI driving rising compute demand, making data centres a critical part of this value chain. “As a deep tech investor, we back companies across the AI value chain, and Nava fits well within this strategy.”
Founded in 2025 by former OYO global chief operating officer Abhinav Sinha, ex-McKinsey partner Vamshidhar Reddy and former Jio cloud executive Abhijeet Singh, Nava is moving from just offering software-based GPU cloud services to a more complete setup.
Now, it is building AI-focused data centres, providing powerful GPU computing, and creating tools to manage and run AI systems more easily.
The company wants to help businesses that build AI models and apps by offering services like GPU access on demand and direct high-performance computing systems (bare-metal).
