Florintree Advisors, a private equity company led by ex-Blackstone India head Mathew Cyriac, has bought a minority stake in fintech firm Cybrilla Technologies.
The move comes as part of an investment round, where Florintree injected nearly $2m in Cybrilla Technologies, which offers fintech solutions to mutual fund distributors and asset administration firms.
A number of angel investors also took part in the fund-raising.
The new funding has brought the total amount of investment raised by Cybrilla in its seed round to INR200m.
Bhalchandra Joshi, former chief operations officer at White Oak Capital, also invested INR20m and became the head of global strategy and operations at Cybrilla after the investment.
Cybrilla plans to use the fresh infusion to create new products as well as add new tech staff and clients.
