The Surat-based startup raised $2.7 million in seed round in February last year from Neeraj Arora, Kunal Shah, Amrish Rau, Jitendra Gupta, Utsav Somani, Amit Jain, Fabrice Grinda, and Luke Skertich. With a team of 50 members, OTPless plans to use the new funds to expand its global presence and service beyond authentication and into authorization, said Kodaliya. Its global peers include Auth0, Clerk, Stytch, Descope and Transmit Security and a few others. Founded by Koladiya, Satyam Nathani and Tanmay Sagar, former executives of fintech unicorn BharatPe, OTPless enables users to sign up and sign in on websites and apps via WhatsApp and other methods. This approach simplifies the process for users and weeds out the need for OTPs. The startup supports various social sign-in methods, including Google, iMessage, Microsoft, Github, Slack, UPI and modern protocols like Passkeys, Network Auth, Protected SMS and Device fingerprinting.

OTPless claims that more than 5,000 companies and 20,000 developers worldwide use the platform to authenticate over 30 million users.

Last year, Genwise and Vegapay also announced their maiden fundraise after launch. The list of startups and venture funds launched by former BharatPe executives includes Jivi.ai, CubeAPM, GrowthCap Venture, Eternal Capital and OTP Ventures.
