An Indian couple became the country’s first husband and wife to build their respective startups into enterprises with at least a $1 billion valuation.
Oxyzo Financial Services, a digital lending startup co-founded by Ruchi Kalra, said it hit the milestone with its maiden fundraising round of $200 million.
Less than a year earlier, her husband Asish Mohapatra’s OfBusiness reached the same valuation.
“We both had an itch to go out and build something,” Kalra said.
