UNLEASH leads USD 1.6mn investment in GenAI-powered fintech infra startup Neurofin

UNLEASH Capital has announced its lead investment in a $1.6 million seed funding round for Neurofin, a GenAI-first enterprise platform that is driving operations and compliance automation across India’s banking and financial services (BFSI) sector. The funding round also saw participation from investors such as Pentathlon Ventures, Fintech Yatra, and Antler, underscoring strong confidence in Neurofin’s mission to modernise and streamline financial infrastructure with cutting-edge generative AI technologies.

Neurofin is transforming the operational backbone of the BFSI sector using a modular suite of AI-powered agents that automate documentation, audits, compliance, and fraud checks— enabling same-day disbursal of complex secured loans that traditionally take up to seven days.

"We are thrilled to partner with Vijay and the Neurofin team on their journey to build India’s category-defining GenAI infra company in banking," said Natsuki Sugai, Managing Partner at UNLEASH Capital. "At a time when financial institutions are struggling with legacy systems and rising compliance pressure, Neurofin’s intelligent agents are redefining what operational efficiency and auditability can look like," he continued.


Founded in May 2024 and headquartered in Bengaluru, Neurofin is already working with marquee clients like Tata Capital, Muthoot Fincorp, and Jio Payments Bank. The company is on track to scale to $3 million in annual revenue by FY26 based on current offerings alone.

“We believe operations is the final frontier for fintech innovation,” said Vijay Makhijani, Founder and CEO of Neurofin. “With UNLEASH’s backing, we’ll double down on product expansion and distribution, enabling financial institutions to serve more customers, faster and with greater compliance confidence.”

Neurofin's platform targets a large market for documentation and operations automation in India’s secured lending industry, with a total addressable market of over $850 million.

UNLEASH’s investment is part of its thesis on backing category-creating, tech-led infrastructure startups in large but under-digitised sectors.
