The company that enables small businesses to open accounts without a minimum balance requirement has raised the capital from Valar Ventures along with Crosslink Capital, Rainfall Ventures, Red Sea Ventures and BoxGroup.
Michael Rangel, Co-Founder and Chief Executive, Novo, said, “The funding will be utilized to expand operations, banking, product and, most importantly, engineering verticals and enhance hiring across key and support roles in India".
He said the company has witnessed deeper investor interest in recent times, especially owing to the pandemic enhancing the role of virtual support ecosystem.

Novo is focused on creating jobs in India in support operations and building advanced technology, enabled by our funding partners. Presently, Novo has a strength of over 50 employees in India and plans to triple it to 150 by FY 22," said Rangel.
