Kunwar Raj Sethi

Meet your new inspiration Kunwar Raj Sethi, this guy is the real deal in the startup world. He jumped into the scene with some serious hustle and never looked back. So, he’s a YC W21 alum, which already shows he’s got that fire and grit. But what’s really cool is his process, it’s all about building shit that actually matters.

He started out with some solid background at KPMG, so he’s no stranger to the corporate grind. But then he jumped into the startup game and co-founded Invoid in 2018. This ain’t just any company, it’s a Y Combinator-backed startup that crushed it in digital KYC and identity verification, mainly for fintech and banking. Think about it: they processed over 5 million verifications every month, working with over 35 Indian banks and fintechs. That’s not small potatoes. Invoid basically made onboarding in finance faster, safer, and way more secure. It’s a classic example of tech solving real-world problems.

What’s dope is that Invoid was part of YC’s Winter 2021 batch, which is a big stamp of credibility. They’re based out of Gurugram, India, which is kinda the new startup hub in India. After that, Sethi and his team didn’t just sit on their laurels, they jumped into Credenc, a Capital India company, to help build a neobank focused on students. Basically, they took what they learned about secure onboarding and applied it to a new vertical. It’s like he’s constantly changing, always pushing the boundaries.

But here’s where it gets even more interesting, Sethi didn’t just stop at building tech. He’s built a massive personal brand on LinkedIn (75K+ followers), and he’s also huge on Instagram and YouTube (over 1.5 million followers, 100 million views). He’s all about B2B content, investing, and finance. He’s not just a founder; he’s a creator, a community builder. He even co-founded Superpen, a platform to make viral LinkedIn content, and he’s big on the Unfinance community, which is all about democratizing finance and investing info.

What does all this say about him? It’s clear he’s wired for impact. His process shows he’s obsessed with building stuff that’s both original and useful. He’s not just in it for the startup hustle; he genuinely wants to change how things work, whether that’s identity verification or financial literacy. His background in product, content, and investing paints the picture of someone who’s curious, always learning, and eager to create value.

Honestly, Kunwar Raj Sethi embodies what it means to be a modern entrepreneur: tech-savvy, community-driven, and relentless in pushing forward. The guy’s been through the grind, built expandable tech, and now he’s shaping communities around finance and investing. No Cap, he’s someone to watch, a real example of how to build stuff that matters and inspire others along the way.
