Founded by Achuthanand Ravi, Sathappan Muthupalaniappan, and Suman Kumar Dey, Kula provides a SaaS platform that enables recruiters to create automated workflows to continuously engage with candidates, saving hours on repetitive tasks.

Ravi was previously a recruiter at Stripe, Uber, and Freshworks, while his fellow co-founders came from software engineering backgrounds at Freshworks and Grab.

Kula will use the funds for talent recruitment for R&D, product, and go-to-market teams across its three offices in the US, Singapore, and India. The funds will also be used to reach out to more global clients.

The recruitment platform had previously raised US$2.7 million in its pre-seed funding round. Including the recently ended seed round, this brings the total funds raised by the firm to US$14.7 million.
