Arkam, Athera co-lead $6.5m funding in Hyperbots and India deals worth $345m

Hyperbots, an AI platform for finance and accounting, on Tuesday announced that it has raised $6.5 million in its Series A funding round co-led by Arkam Ventures and Athera Venture Partners.

The round also saw participation from new investor JSW Ventures and existing investors, Kalaari Ventures, Sunicon Ventures, and Darashaw & Company.

Headquartered in the US with an engineering centre in India, Hyperbots is focused on transforming finance operations for mid-market enterprises. The latest fundraise will help the startup accelerate go-to-market efforts in the US and build new AI co-pilots for finance teams, including the launch of HyperLM, a large language model trained on finance and accounting data.

“With our proprietary, domain-trained AI models and agentic workflow engine, we can finally automate the heavy, error-prone work that’s been holding finance teams back. This round gives us the resources to deepen our R&D, accelerate go-lives, and build a GTM ecosystem that will let every mid-market CFO run world-class F&A operations—at a fraction of today’s cost and effort,” said Rajeev Pathak, co-founder and CEO.

Founded in 2023 by Niyati Chhaya, Ram Jayaraman, and Rajeev Pathak, Hyperbots currently serves clients in the US across industries, including healthcare, media, and mid-market enterprises in manufacturing, robotics, EV infrastructure, retail and apparel, construction, oil & gas distribution, pharma, and real estate.

The company plans to onboard 100+ clients this fiscal year.
