Nava’s Strategic Rebranding and Expansion in the APAC AI Market
In a strategic move to capture the burgeoning demand for AI infrastructure, deeptech startup Kluisz.ai has rebranded as Nava. The company has successfully raised a $22 million Series A round, led by Greenoaks, with participation from RTP Global and Unicorn India Ventures. This funding marks a pivotal step in Nava’s journey to establish itself as a leader in the AI infrastructure space across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.
The Need for Advanced AI Infrastructure
As AI technologies continue to evolve, the infrastructure supporting these innovations must advance accordingly. Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) play a crucial role in this ecosystem, handling the intensive computations required for training and running AI models. Nava’s vertically integrated model aims to optimize the entire AI compute stack, from AI-optimized data centers to the orchestration and inferencing layers.
APAC: A Region Poised for Growth
The APAC region is witnessing a surge in demand for advanced data-center capabilities. According to KPMG, data-center power demand in APAC is projected to increase by 165% by 2030, driven by the needs of training and inferencing workloads. This growth underscores the need for low-latency facilities near urban centers, which Nava aims to address with its cutting-edge solutions.
Nava’s Vision and Leadership
Founded in 2025 by industry veterans Abhinav Sinha, Vamshidhar Reddy, and Abhijeet Singh, Nava is leveraging its leadership’s extensive experience to drive innovation in AI infrastructure. Sinha, formerly with OYO, Reddy from McKinsey and AMD, and Singh from Jio and AT&T, bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table.
Investment and Market Dynamics
Nava’s recent funding round highlights the growing investor interest in AI infrastructure. With companies like Lambda and Crusoe raising substantial capital, the AI infrastructure sector is clearly attracting significant investment. In India, the momentum continues with firms like Neysa securing $1.2 billion in funding, illustrating the high stakes and opportunities in this field.
What This Means for Businesses
For businesses operating in the APAC region, Nava’s expansion presents a unique opportunity to leverage advanced AI infrastructure solutions.
