Hyderabad-based startup Kalpi has raised Rs. 3.75 crore in seed funding from Rainmatter Capital. The capital will help the fintech firm grow its product and make investing tools easier for more people in India.
Kalpi was founded in 2025 by Ashwar Gupta. The startup focuses on designing tools that follow simple, rule-based investing. It works to make easy-to-use, data-driven investment tools accessible to both retail and professional investors.
The main idea behind Kalpi is to reduce the complexity of investing. Most advanced investing tools are used by large financial firms and often require strong technical knowledge and high-cost systems. Kalpi wants to bridge this gap and ensure these tools accommodate retail investors.
The company will use the new funds to hire more people for its core team, improve its technology systems, and buy better financial data to improve accuracy. The startup also plans to expand its reach among potential clients.
Kalpi works through two platforms. Kalpi.ai is designed for retail investors. It helps users build stock baskets, track their portfolios, and test investment ideas. It also connects users with brokers to help them invest directly.
The second platform is KalpiQuant.com. It is built for institutional investors like PMS firms, AIFs, RIAs, brokers, and family offices. This platform offers advanced tools such as portfolio planning, risk tracking, factor analysis, and backtesting of strategies.
Kalpi says its system reduces the need for expensive infrastructure. Earlier, building such quant systems could cost between Rs. 1 crore and Rs. 2 crore. Kalpi offers similar tools in a simpler digital form at a lower cost.
India is seeing more people entering the stock market. Many new investors now prefer tools that use data instead of emotions. This shift is helping fintech startups like Kalpi grow faster.
Hyderabad is also becoming a strong hub for fintech startups. More companies are building financial tools in the city. Kalpi’s latest funding round adds to this growing trend in the startup ecosystem.
