The moves follow a period of sustained momentum for Qapita in the US, including its USD 26.5 million Series B round and launch of fund administration capabilities. With a Co-Founder now based in San Francisco and a second US office live in New York, Qapita is placing its leadership and operations closer to the venture capital, private equity and startup communities it serves on both coasts.
“The US is now central to Qapita's next chapter, and I wanted to be on the ground to build alongside our customers and partners here. Between our new San Francisco base and the New York office, we're putting real infrastructure behind our commitment to this market,” said Lakshman Gupta, COO & Cofounder of Qapita.
“Having Lakshman based in the US, alongside our growing New York team, reflects how seriously we're investing in this market. It's a natural next step after our Series B and our Fund Admin launch,” said Ravi Ravulaparthi, CEO & Cofounder of Qapita.
Qapita now operates from San Francisco and New York in the US, in addition to its headquarters in Singapore and offices across India and Indonesia. The company said it expects to continue growing its US team across product, engineering and client services in the coming months.
