Nava, an AI infrastructure startup focused on enterprise use cases, has raised $22 million in a funding round led by Greenoaks Capital.

The funding round also saw participation from RTP Global and Unicorn India Ventures.

The Singapore-based startup will use the fresh capital to build a full-stack AI cloud infrastructure platform focused on the Asia-Pacific region. The proceeds will also support expansion of its platform capabilities and strengthen its presence across key markets in the region.

Nava was founded in 2024 by Abhinav Sinha, Vamshidhar Reddy, and Abhijeet Singh. Sinha previously served as COO and CPO at Oyo, Reddy is a former McKinsey partner, and Singh comes with experience as a cloud executive at Jio.

Previously known as Kluisz, Nava is building a developer-first, AI-native private cloud platform for enterprise use cases.

The platform orchestrates AI workloads across hybrid, on-premise, edge, and sovereign cloud environments, with embedded security, observability, and automation. It allows developers to define performance, compliance, or cost objectives while the platform auto-manages deployment and execution across infrastructure stacks.

Prior to this round, Nava had raised $9.6 million in a seed round led by RTP Global in July 2024.

The enterprise AI infrastructure space has been witnessing significant investor interest globally. Companies in the space, including CoreWeave and Lambda Labs, have raised billions in recent years.
