Earlier this week, financial technology startup Upstox crossed the billion-dollar valuation mark in its latest and ongoing fundraising round after raising $25 million from Tiger Global, a source familiar with the matter told YourStory.

The online share/stock trading startup is still in the process of completing the round, the source said. A second source said Tiger Global could invest $100 million in the startup, adding that the deal had not been finalised yet.

Tiger Global owns around 31.1 percent in Upstox, having invested $25 million in 2019. Ratan Tata and Kalaari Capital are also investors in the startup.

Founded in 2009 by Shrini Viswanath, Raghu Kumar, and Ravi Kumar, RKSV Securities-owned firm Upstox has been focussed on strengthening its product offerings and technology stack over the last couple of years. It hopes to cater to the next 500 million Indians going online for all their financial services needs.
