Singapore based fintech startup Qapita has raised $26.5 million in a Series B funding round led by Charles Schwab Corporation. Existing investors, including Citi and MassMutual Ventures, also took part in the round.

Founded in 2019 by Ravi Ravulaparthi, Lakshman Gupta, and Vamsee Mohan, Qapita offers equity management solutions with operations in India, Southeast Asia, and the US. Its platform helps companies manage ownership records, while its fund administration product supports portfolio and investor management for fund managers.

Qapita plans to use the fresh capital to scale its equity management platform in the US and launch its fund administration product across multiple regions.
