Nava Raises $22 Mn, Rebrands to Build AI Cloud Infrastructure Across Asia-Pacific

Nava, formerly known as Kluisz, has raised $22 million in a Series A funding round led by Greenoaks, with participation from RTP Global and Unicorn India Ventures, as it looks to build a foundational cloud infrastructure layer for artificial intelligence across the Asia-Pacific region.

Alongside the funding announcement, the company revealed its rebrand to Nava and confirmed Singapore as its new regional headquarters, signalling a stronger focus on expanding its presence across Asia.

“What started as an AI-native cloud platform has now evolved into something much larger, where we are building the foundational cloud platform layer for AI in Asia. We’re grateful to our investors for their continued support and conviction as we build in a category that is growing and rapidly evolving,” Abhinav Sinha, Nava Co-founder and CEO, said.

The fresh capital will be used to scale Nava’s full-stack AI compute platform, expand regional operations, and hire senior leadership and specialist talent across areas such as AI data centre design, GPU engineering, go-to-market strategy, and operations.

Founded in 2025 by Abhinav Sinha, Vamshidhar Reddy, and Abhijeet Singh, Nava is developing a neo-cloud platform tailored specifically for AI workloads. Its vertically integrated stack includes AI-optimised data centres, high-performance GPU compute, AI-native orchestration and inferencing layers, along with developer-friendly tools.

Investors highlighted the company’s rapid progress and market opportunity. “In under a year, Nava has demonstrated exceptional execution and is strongly positioned to address the growing need for purpose-built AI infrastructure across Asia,” said Madhur Makkar of RTP Global.

Nava had previously raised $9.6 million in seed funding last year.
