[Funding alert] B2B fintech startup EnKash raises $20M in Series B

Fintech startup Enkash has raised $20 million in a Series B round led by Ascent Capital, Baring India, and Singapore-based White Ventures.

Existing investors Mayfield India and Axilor Ventures also invested in the round, the startup said.

Founded in 2018 by Yadvendra Tyagi, Hemant Vishnoi, and Naveen Bindal, EnKash helps businesses manage their finances on one central platform. It enables businesses to manage their payables/receivables and expenses, as well as issue corporate cards to employees.

"We intend to cut short the cycles of manual work and processes while offering products and services in a completely DIY mode on our platform. The customer should not be hassled with multiple platforms, banking portals and manual coordination to get the right product," said Naveen Bindal, Co-founder of EnKash.

The startup told YourStory earlier that it had grown 150 percent, month-on-month in the previous financial year.
