The wealthtech platform Dezerv has completed a Series B investment headed by Premji Invest, raising $32 million. The fund-raiser shows how resilient the Mumbai-based company is to the financial downturn, particularly in the wealth management industry.
According to Dezerv’s regulatory filings retrieved from the RoC, the board approved a special resolution to issue 41,761 Series B CCPS at an issue price of Rs 63,455 per in order to raise $32 million.
The initial investment of Rs 169 crore, Premji Invest led the round, with previous investors Elevation Capital and Matrix Partners contributing Rs 35 crore apiece. Leading Dezerv’s Series A funding round, Accel India, contributed Rs 26 crore to the Series B round as well.
The company intends to use these new funds for growth and enhancing its financial condition, per the documents.

Dezerv provides portfolio management services to high-earning individuals in the business world. Since its founding in April 2021, the company, which manages financial portfolios using in-house experts, claims to have given its subscribers returns of about 30%.
The company’s estimated valuation, according to TheKredible, is around Rs 1,715 crore, or $207 million (post-allotment). It looks like the Series B round is still going well, and the company might raise more money. The post-money valuation of Dezerv will adjust correspondingly.
