Aurva, a data security startup focused on AI-driven observability and access monitoring, has raised $2.2 million in a seed round led by Nexus Venture Partners. The Bengaluru-based company recently emerged from stealth with a mission to make enterprise systems safer and more transparent.

The fresh funding will be deployed to strengthen product capabilities, expand engineering teams, and scale early customer pilots. Aurva’s platform enables organizations to monitor data access, detect anomalies, and improve compliance in an increasingly AI-driven IT environment.

With data breaches and cyber risks escalating globally, Aurva’s solutions target a fast-growing market where enterprises demand proactive, AI-powered security systems. This funding marks a step toward positioning Aurva as a next-gen cybersecurity player from India.
