US expansion plans

On the funding, Gokul Rajaram, Investor, Board Member – Coinbase, Pinterest, and The Trade Desk stated, “I’m excited to support the Prosperr.io team on their mission to build the best tax optimisation platform for consumers not just for India but for the world. The world of taxes is complicated and confusing, and Prosperr.io’s AI platform helps individuals and employees stay compliant while maximising tax savings.”
What challenge does it tackle?
As the culture of composite Income is increasing among Individual taxpayers, compliance and quarter reporting are becoming more and more important. The new generation of taxpayers needs real-time tax calculation and multiple nudges to get their attention which is not possible by traditional solutions like hiring CPAs as these people are expensive and deal with multiple clients simultaneously which leads to errors associated with human operations.
Prosperr.io addresses this challenge by working on a Digital Tax Accountant powered by in-house AI engines. The company trains RAGS (Retrieval-augmented generation), which is based on each user persona and applicable tax law. These AI engines calculate real-time tax liability, predict year-end tax liability, and generate tax-saving strategies which are personalised for individuals.
What does the company do?
Founded in 2022 by Manas Gond and Dev Kumar in India, Prosperr.io offers a subscription-based product designed to manage income tax comprehensively for individuals, ensuring maximum eligible tax savings and compliance. By using deep-tech products powered by AI, the company aims to create a digitally intelligent solution, benefiting millions worldwide.
The company has launched two different products namely Super Saver and Flexi Benefits. Super Saver is a B2C annual subscription for salaried employees with composite income streams. This product starts tracking the individual’s journey from day 1 of the finance year, tracks all the compliance and gives Income tax liability in real time. This helps individuals from penalty and late fines. This product sends AI power nudges to its user to keep them compliance and also saving money. It is similar to creditKarma and turbotax.
Prosperr.io Flexi Benefits is a B2B offering to businesses so that they can offer different kinds of tax free perquisites to their employees which help employees by increasing their in-hand monthly salary by 8% to 10%. The employees just need to make an expense via an app which then is classified as tax free allowances by employers and the proof is compiled and forwarded to Payroll company for processing. It is similar to Forma.

Our mission is to address this challenge by developing AI-powered solutions that redefine tax management and help our customers save money while achieving their financial goals.
