Consulting platform Uniqus secures $20 million in Series C to fuel global expansion, scale AI-driven solutions

23, April 2025

Uniqus Consultech, a global tech-enabled consulting platform, has raised $20 million in a Series C funding round led by existing backers Nexus Venture Partners and Sorin Investments, the company said in the press statement. The latest infusion of capital will support the company’s continued global expansion, the launch of adjacent service lines, and research and development of AI-powered consulting solutions.

The funding comes just months after Uniqus secured $10 million in a Series B round in April, also led by Nexus and Sorin. The company said a substantial portion of the new capital will go towards enhancing its AI capabilities to address complex challenges in financial reporting and risk management.

“Our vision has always been to build a consulting platform that leverages global talent and technology to deliver exceptional client outcomes,” said Jamil Khatri, Co-founder and CEO of Uniqus.

“With a $100 billion+ addressable market before us, this is just the beginning,” Khatri added. “The funding positions us to expand our capabilities and geographical presence. We’ll also be building out Uniqus AI, using our domain expertise and new GenAI models to transform how consulting services are delivered.”

In an interview with CNBC-TV18, Khatri said the company is on track to reach $100 million in revenue by 2026. “We trebled our revenues in 2024, we are a calendar-year company, and this year we’ll do $50 million in revenue, which is our third year of operation. That sets us up beautifully for 2026, close to $100 million, and $150 million by 2027. So, on track.”

Despite the aggressive growth plans, Khatri noted the company remains profitable. “We don’t need that much capital. To date, we’ve raised $23 million, and we’ve only spent $7-8 million of that,” he told CNBC-TV18.

The company plans to use the fresh funds to expand into new markets including Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Canada, and Singapore. “We believe there are tremendous opportunities and product-market fit for what we do in these regions,” Khatri said.

Uniqus, which already serves over 250 clients globally, also aims to deepen its relationships with existing customers. “Many of our clients are saying, ‘You do four things for us, why can’t you do item five and item six?’” Khatri noted in his CNBC-TV18 interview.

A major pillar of Uniqus’ growth strategy is AI integration. The company aims to automate 60–70 percent of certain consulting processes to improve productivity and the client experience. These capabilities will be embedded in its proprietary platforms such as Risk UniVerse, Reporting UniVerse, and ESG UniVerse.
