Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform CleverTap has closed its Series C investment round, bagging USD 35 million in funding led by Sequoia India and Tiger Global Management, according to a statement released by the company.
This is the second time Sequoia India and Tiger Global Management have backed CleverTap in the last six months. According to Crunchbase, both companies invested in CleverTap’s Series B round in April this year. The new investment raises total investment in CleverTap in 2019 to USD 61 million. The company is currently valued at USD 385 million, according to the statement.
The California-based company said it will use the cash to expand around the world aggressively, enhance its platform, and build a new engineering hub in the United States.
