HR tech and human capital management (HCM) platform uKnowva has raised $0.5 million in its Pre-Series A funding round, led by Parv Network, Growth 91, and Aapna Infotech. The round marks the company’s first institutional funding after years of operating as a bootstrapped, profitable venture competing with global players.
The investors highlighted uKnowva’s strength across product, profitability, people, and past performance as key factors driving their decision. The fresh capital will be channelled into expanding sales and marketing, building a stronger partner-led presence in new geographies, and advancing its AI roadmap.
uKnowva has already introduced features such as AI Suggest, AI-based Analytics, and AI Genie, with more in the pipeline. These innovations aim to reshape how businesses manage people, performance and productivity.
Vicky Jain, co-founder and CEO of uKnowva, said, “Securing this Pre-Series A funding is a proud milestone for us. Having been bootstrapped till date, we scaled conservatively while staying profitable. This investment allows us to take bolder bets while keeping product excellence and profitability at our core. Our goal is to continue delivering intelligent, seamless HR solutions to customers.”
Lead investor Piyush Jain, CFO, Al Tasnim Enterprises and representing Parv Network, added, “uKnowva combines innovation, scalability, strong fundamentals, and committed founders. It stood out as an exceptional opportunity, and we believe the company is on its way to becoming a category leader in HR technology.”
With workplaces rapidly adopting digital-first, AI-driven systems, uKnowva is positioning itself as a preferred partner for HR transformation. Over the next year or two, it plans to scale its partner ecosystem, expand into Tier I and II cities, and strengthen its AI-led offerings. In the longer term, the company envisions becoming a global HCM leader through its partner-driven model.
