VAIA

What VAIA does

VAIA Investment Advisory LLP is an AI-first investment and sustainability advisory firm headquartered in Bengaluru, India, founded by Shruthi Cauvery. The company operates a proprietary domain-trained large language model (VAIA GPT) and a parallel sustainability-oriented AI engine (VAIA Prism), augmented by an agentic layer called OlafAI that is accessible via web, email, and Telegram. Its product portfolio spans six integrated platforms: Family Office Investment Management, Wealth Advisory & Management, Due Diligence, ESG & Sustainability Reporting, Real Estate Sustainability Management, and Cloud Cost & Emissions Optimization, plus an OlafAI agent. The technical architecture combines RAG-based querying of customer data rooms, multi-model and multi-modal response generation, agentic reporting, automated document classification and extraction, and dedicated single-tenant cloud environments with end-to-end encryption.

The platform integrates with major financial data providers (Bloomberg, FactSet, LSEG, Carta, Murex, Fidelity) and enterprise content systems (Microsoft SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Google Drive) to unify data across investment and sustainability workflows. VAIA's stated outcomes include a 10x reduction in sustainability reporting cycle time (400 hours to 40 hours), ~80% reduction in IC memo preparation time, 3x faster reporting, and 85% productivity gains in carbon reporting. The company is SOC 2 Type II certified, GDPR and CCPA compliant, and positions its AI systems under the EU AI Act limited/minimal risk tier with Article 50 transparency obligations.

VAIA sells through direct enterprise field sales with quote-based annual subscriptions and complementary professional advisory services. Its named customer base of roughly 14 enterprise logos spans Indian family offices, venture capital and private equity firms (Avataar Ventures, Iron Pillar, MDI Ventures, Ascent Capital, KPB Family Trust), a major multinational asset manager (Prosus), and growth-stage Indian companies across SaaS, fintech, healthtech, insurtech, and consumer verticals. The board includes representatives of three customer firms (Avataar, KPB, Ascent), creating a customer-aligned governance structure but also concentration risk. Operating geographies cover South Asia (primary), Southeast Asia, East Asia, and North America. No external institutional funding rounds have been disclosed.
