The Indian BFSI industry spends over Rs 15,000 CR on collections. Currently less than 0.1% is AI enabled. @_Ignosis, the fastest growing company in the AA (Account Aggregator) space, is now leveraging their deep set of capabilities to transform collections in Indian BFSI! 50% of this Rs 15K Cr market will move to AI in 3-4 years! @niravprajapati1 @NavenduS @_surgeahead @peakxvpartners
#Collections need better signals not more effort.
With @slicebank, we’re shifting to signal-driven decisions using cashflow + intent + Voice AI.
Results: 15% higher collections efficiency, less effort, better CX.
Grateful to Nihit & slice team for the trust & partnership💪🏻

Now add the new products, and Boom...become a truly giant company. Incredibly excited about this enterprise focused intelligence layer AI company founded by @niravprajapati1 @_shethchintan and team from our 11th cohort of @_surgeahead! @NavenduS @KaustubhMundra3
Inside Ignosis: Making Financial Data Reliable Enough to Automate Decisions
Financial Services now has more data than ever before.
The real opportunity is turning that data into reliable, automated decision-making.
For years, banks and lenders in India have layered dashboards on top of fragmented systems. But when the underlying data is inconsistent or incomplete, critical decisions across credit, risk, and collections fall back to manual review.
From AA reliability to decision infrastructure:
Ignosis started by fixing the foundation.
The company built around Account Aggregator orchestration, designed to make consented financial data reliable at scale. Because if the rail isn't dependable, nothing built on top of it can automate.
Today, Ignosis operates as a full-stack Financial Intelligence & Analytics Engine. It unifies AA data, bureau signals, documents, transactions, and behavioural patterns. The result is decision-ready intelligence that enables context-aware credit, risk, collections, and engagement actions for every customer.
Automating credit operations:
For lenders, this powers Credit Ops Automation.
Agentic AI systems automate PD estimation, income validation, document intelligence, and cross-risk analytics. Decision-making becomes more consistent, while risk and operations teams gain significant productivity.
Rebuilding collections with intelligence:
Post-disbursal, the same intelligence extends into collections.
AA-driven cashflow signals combined with Voice AI agents help institutions prioritize outreach, refine contact strategies, and improve recovery outcomes while materially reducing operational costs.
Fragmented workflows to autonomous systems:
Ignosis represents a broader shift underway in financial services.
➡️Integrations to orchestration
➡️ Fragmented workflows to unified intelligence
➡️Manual review to autonomous, outcome-driven systems
By combining AA orchestration, customer-level financial intelligence, and agentic AI, Ignosis is helping financial institutions move from fragmented processes to intelligent systems built for scale, compliance, and trust.
This is our Surge Spotlight on Ignosis, part of our ongoing series highlighting the companies from #Surge11 and the category shifts they represent.

And probably some tools they are building and m not aware about.

Indians spend over $100B on weddings each year. #Meragi is creating a magical experience for couples to design, organize and execute incredible weddings. India is yet to see a large, scaled up platform in the weddings space and we are incredibly excited about the company that Abhinav, Mukund and Lakshmi are building. Rapid progress from our #Surge08 company and thrilled to have @accelindia lead the series A. @_surgeahead @peakxvpartners @NavenduS
