Nava, founded by former OYO executive Abhinav Sinha, has raised $22 million in a funding round led by Greenoaks Capital, with participation from RTP Global and Unicorn India Ventures. The company has also rebranded from Kluisz to Nava as it shifts focus toward building a full stack AI cloud platform.
Founded in 2025 by Sinha along with Vamshidhar Reddy and Abhijeet Singh, Nava is developing a neocloud platform that offers GPU as a service and AI infrastructure for enterprises. The platform combines AI optimised data centres, high performance GPU compute, orchestration layers and developer tools to help businesses build and scale AI applications efficiently.
The company plans to use the fresh capital to expand its AI compute capabilities, scale data centre infrastructure, and invest in talent across areas such as GPU engineering, data centre design and go to market functions. As part of its expansion strategy, Nava is strengthening its presence across India and Southeast Asia, with Singapore serving as its regional headquarters.
Nava is targeting enterprises building AI models and applications by offering flexible infrastructure solutions such as GPU as a service and bare metal compute. The startup is also in advanced discussions to roll out next generation AI infrastructure offerings, aiming to address the growing demand for scalable and efficient AI compute solutions.
Abhinav Sinha said, “Anyone building at the model or application layer in AI is a potential customer, While the business is capital-intensive, Nava is betting on a combination of software-led differentiation and strong investor backing to scale.
“This is an important phase for us. We started as a software-first GPU cloud company but are now building a full-stack neo-cloud platform, adding that the rebrand reflects the company’s expanded vision and ambition.”
Commenting on the development, Madhur Makkar, principal at RTP Global, said, “In under a year, this team has demonstrated exceptional execution and is strongly positioned to address the growing need for purpose-built AI infrastructure across Asia.”
