Ushur, the Santa-Clara and Bengaluru-based no-code intelligent automation company, has raised $5 million as part of its $25 million Series B funding from growth investment firm Iron Pillar and Alfac Global Ventures. This is the second investment from Iron Pillar Fund II, targeting growth stage cloud software companies.
The startup's Series B round was led by Third Point Ventures with participation from existing investor, 8VC. The company and its Board decided to extend the round to add Iron Pillar to its roster of investors, due, in large part, to Iron Pillar’s global network of customers and partners for Ushur.
“We’re thrilled to have Iron Pillar partner with Ushur in our mission to make digital customer experiences personal, convenient, and satisfying at scale. It’s further proof that omnichannel, self-service engagements are the way of the future in insurance and beyond. We look forward to working closely with Iron Pillar to scale Ushur to new heights," said Ushur CEO and Co-founder Simha Sadasiva.
