Zango AI, an AI-driven regulatory compliance startup, has secured $4.8 million (approximately ₹41 crore) in a seed funding round led by Nexus Venture Partners, with additional backing from South Park Commons, Notion Capital, No Label Ventures, and Start Ventures.
The capital will be deployed to expand Zango’s teams in Bengaluru and London and to further develop advanced modules within its AI-driven governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) suite, targeting faster and more efficient regulatory workflows.
Co-founded by Ritesh Singhania and Shashank Agarwal in 2024, the Bengaluru- and San Francisco-based startup is building a cloud-native compliance platform powered by regulatory-domain large language models (LLMs).

These LLMs enable the creation of intelligent agents that automate and streamline traditionally time-intensive compliance processes.
Singhania previously launched ClearGlass, a pension regulation platform, while Agarwal founded Third Watch, an AI-driven fraud detection startup acquired by Razorpay in 2019.
Zango AI is already used by financial institutions such as Novobanco, Monzo, and Juni, helping them compress multi-day compliance tasks into a few hours. The company plans to expand into insurance and asset management verticals, positioning itself for broader adoption across regulated sectors.
