The investment by Japanese private equity behemoth has more than tripled the valuation of his banking technology startup firm Zeta and made it a unicorn, the 14th in India so far in 2021. “We are truly excited,” Turakhia, CEO and co-founder, tells Fortune India. Turakhia, a serial entrepreneur from Mumbai who made his fortune through exits, is excited about the journey because he has never raised any kind of venture capital, angel investment, growth fund, or private investment in the past, for any of the four companies he founded. “This is the first time ever in my lifetime that I have gone for institutionalised fundraising. And it is the one of the largest single funding raises by a banking tech start-up globally,” he says.
