Aurva raises $2.2 Mn in Seed round led by Nexus VP

Aurva, a security startup founded by ex-Meta engineers, has raised $2.2 million in Seed funding from Nexus Venture Partners, DeVC, and angel investors from the global security and AI ecosystem. 

The round also saw participation from Chris Bream, former Security Executive at Meta.

Founded by Apurv Garg (CEO) and Krishna Bagadia (CTO), Aurva provides real-time, identity-aware access monitoring. Its platform connects every data access whether by humans, services, or AI agents back to a real identity. 

This ensures enterprises can detect and stop misuse instantly, strengthening security and compliance, particularly for BFSI clients operating under strict global Infosec guidelines.

The firm's architecture is built on eBPF-based technology, enabling flexible, low-overhead deployment across enterprise systems. This approach allows Aurva to deliver security without slowing down operations, an advantage over traditional data monitoring and access control solutions.

The startup operates from offices in Bengaluru and Mumbai, with global operations headquartered in California, US.

Aurva competes with players like Immuta, Satori, and Veza.
