Apna, a jobs platform and professional network for the rising workforce, has secured about $100 million in series C funding led by Tiger Global.
The round also saw participation from Owl Ventures, Insight Partners, Sequoia Capital India, Maverick Ventures and GSV Ventures. With this round, Apna has attained a total valuation of $1.1 billion, the company said.
The company would use the proceeds to further strengthen its presence in the country. The platform conducts 18 million interviews each month, it claimed.

The real issue is not reach but adequacy, as households may have life insurance but not enough cover to replace lost income, leaving them financially vulnerable.
