About Aaryan Kakani

Background

Aaryan Kakani is a co-founder of Seasaw, an AI platform building agents for regulatory and compliance workflows. He is based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. At Seasaw he leads product, regulatory research, customer experience and the development of compliance workflows for international trade and cross-border commerce. Crunchbase lists Anirudh Pratap Singh as his co-founder.

Before Seasaw he worked at SALT, a Y Combinator W'22 cross-border banking startup in India. His LinkedIn profile says he joined as a product intern, became the first product manager hire, and worked on the founding team from November 2021. He lists building Table Salt, a fundraise banking and compliance product for startups, and leading product and business roadmaps for trade banking products for importers and exporters. His X bio describes the same role as building products and business at SALT.

His work covers export and import compliance, customs, GST, foreign exchange, RBI and DGFT requirements, trade documentation and export incentives. It also covers EU, UK and US trade compliance. He has written research on topics such as eBRC and export realisation, Advance Authorisation, EPCG, SCOMET export controls and cross-border payment flows.

Angel investing track record

Crunchbase shows 1 investment, 1 portfolio company, 0 lead investments and 0 exits. That one investment is Seasaw AI, the company he co-founded. Crunchbase does not give a date or amount for the round.

We found no public record of angel investments in other companies, and no public statements on check size or investing thesis. Founders should treat Aaryan primarily as an operator-founder in compliance and trade, not as an active angel.

AI investments

His only recorded AI investment is Seasaw, which builds AI agents that research regulations, determine which obligations apply, monitor changes and run compliance workflows across jurisdictions. No other AI investments are publicly documented.

Investment focus

He has not published a stage, sector, geography or check size for angel investing. His operating experience is in AI for compliance, cross-border trade, banking and fintech workflows, with a focus on India. Founders in those areas may find him a relevant person to talk to. That is an inference from his background, not a stated investment thesis.
