About Kiran Moras
Kiran Moras is based in Bengaluru, India. Crunchbase lists him as a founder and director of Promptec Renewable Energy Solutions, covering sales, marketing, finance and strategy. Promptec makes LED lighting, solar lighting and power electronics. Crunchbase says it was co-promoted with Joshy PP and Nikhil Das in 1998. Other databases give different dates for his role there.
His Crunchbase biography says he began as a software designer and developer. He later became a Senior VP at Kanbay Software, where he grew the global credit card IT division into a $125M business unit. He managed client relationships with banks including HSBC, GE, Citi Financial, HDFC and First Data.
After Capgemini acquired Kanbay, he joined Highmark Credit Information Services as CIO. The biography says he built and launched India's first Microfinance Credit Bureau there.
Crunchbase and Tracxn each list one personal investment: Upside Health, in July 2024. Tracxn records it as a seed round of $180K on July 8, 2024, and says he invested alongside other investors. Crunchbase records it as a pre-seed round and shows Kiran Moras and two other investors. The two sources label the round differently, and neither source discloses his own cheque.
Tracxn classes his single investment under Food and Agriculture and Consumer Goods, in India. With only one recorded deal, that is not enough to call a thesis. He has made no public statements about check size, preferred stage or what he looks for in founders. Pitch him with that in mind: his public record is early-stage, India-based and not AI-specific.
- Upside Health: India-based startup that raised an early round in July 2024. Tracxn lists it as seed and Crunchbase as pre-seed. He is one of three investors named on Crunchbase.
- Promptec Renewable Energy Solutions: not an investment. It is the LED and solar lighting company he co-founded.
