According to paperwork filed with the Registrar of Companies on Monday, Bengaluru-based Perfios Software Solutions secured around $68 million (Rs 525 crore at current exchange rates) from returning investors Bessemer Venture Partners and Warburg Pincus as part of its ongoing Series C round (RoC). Perfios was founded in 2008 by former Aztecsoft founders VR Govindarajan and Debasish Chakroborty as a business-to-consumer personal finance management solution. In 2012, the company shifted its focus to providing banks and NBFCs with insights based on data analysis of bank statements, tax filings, and business financials for credit evaluation, monitoring, fraud, and other services via its platform. The digital solution from Perfios assists financial institutions in reducing turnaround time and improving credit decisions.
