Jar
Jar is a Bengaluru-based fintech company operating India's first micro-savings app, enabling tens of millions of Indians to save in 24K digital gold from as little as ₹10. The app supports daily, weekly, monthly, and instant savings mechanisms, plus a round-up feature that automatically invests spare change from everyday transactions into 99.5%+ pure digital gold held in insured vaults. Founded in 2021 by Nishchay AG (CEO) and Misbah Ashraf (CPO) under Changejar Technologies Private Limited, Jar has grown to 50+ million registered users across 12,000+ Indian zip codes. The company recently vertically integrated its gold operations, moving away from a third-party distribution model to purchase, store, and manage gold directly. Jar partners with Brink's for global custody, ICICI Lombard for insurance, Vistra as independent trustee, and BDO as statutory auditor. Adjacent products include Nek, a direct-to-consumer gold and silver jewellery brand sold via shopnek.com. Jar reached profitability in 2025 after backing from Tiger Global, Arkam Ventures, Rainfall Ventures, Yes VC, and others at a $300M+ valuation, and is preparing for an IPO. There is no public developer API, SDK, or partner integration program — Jar is a B2C consumer mobile app distributed exclusively through Apple App Store and Google Play.
