Startup Deep Dive : Presolv360 — one million disputes settled outside a courtroom

India carried a backlog of roughly 50.3 million pending court cases as of July 2025, a queue so long that a routine commercial dispute can take years to reach a first hearing. Against that, a Mumbai company founded by two chartered accountants and a certified mediator says it has already closed more than one million disputes without any of them entering a courtroom.

That company is Presolv360, run by Edgecraft Solutions Private Limited. It sells the idea that most fights over money do not need a judge, and in September 2025 investors led by Elevation Capital backed that idea with a reported $4.7 million. This deep dive looks at what the company actually does, how it earns, the numbers it has disclosed, and where the claims still outrun the public record.

What Presolv360 does

Presolv360 is an online dispute resolution platform. It moves the machinery of arbitration, mediation, conciliation and negotiation onto software, so that a bank chasing a defaulted loan, or an e-commerce firm arguing with a seller, can resolve the matter through a structured digital process rather than filing in a clogged court. The company positions itself as an enterprise product first, selling to organisations that generate disputes at volume.

The founding insight

The founding insight was simple and grim: India’s courts cannot absorb the volume of disputes the economy produces. In a 2018 interview, co-founder Bhaven Shah framed the problem in raw figures for that period, citing about 40,000 cases filed every day, roughly 3.3 crore pending cases, and an annual economic loss of about ₹80,000 crore tied to hearings and lost business time. If litigation was the bottleneck, the founders reasoned, the answer was to prevent as many disputes as possible from ever reaching a judge.

The three founders came at this from complementary angles rather than a pure technology background. Bhaven Shah is a chartered accountant and a Government Law College graduate who had worked in tax and M&A litigation at KPMG and Ernst & Young. Namita Shah is a chartered accountant, a US-qualified CPA and a lawyer, with audit experience at Ernst & Young and exposure to commercial disputes in the diamond and jewellery trade. Aman Sanghavi, now CEO, came from the insurance industry and is a certified mediator trained under the Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs. Between them they had lived the slow, expensive reality of dispute resolution from the professional side, which is what they set out to digitise.

The struggle years

Presolv360 was building a category before the category had rules. When it launched, online dispute resolution had no settled legal recognition in India, no obvious enterprise budget line, and a target audience of lawyers and corporate legal teams who were culturally wedded to physical hearings and paper files. The early years were about convincing sceptics that an award reached over video and software would hold up, and that businesses should route disputes away from the courts they had always used.

That five-year gap before institutional capital is the clearest evidence of how long it took the market to come around. The company had to prove the model on its own balance sheet before outside investors would write a cheque.

The turning point

The turning point was the shift from a lawyer-facing curiosity to an enterprise workflow that large regulated lenders would pay for. That change shows up most sharply in the client count. At its seed round in early 2022, Presolv360 described a base of 35-plus enterprises. By the time of its Series A in September 2025, the company said it was working with more than 100 enterprise clients, including large banks, NBFCs and e-commerce players, and had crossed one million disputes handled.

On one side of that line was a promising pilot-stage tool with a few dozen customers and $1.08 million of seed money. On the other was a platform with triple-digit enterprise clients, a seven-figure dispute count, and a $4.7 million Series A led by one of India’s better-known early-stage funds. The engine of that jump was the same lending and collections pain that banks and NBFCs face at scale: millions of small-ticket recovery disputes that are uneconomic to litigate individually but well suited to a standardised digital arbitration and mediation pipeline.

The money behind it

Presolv360 has raised about $5.78 million (roughly ₹55 crore at $1 ≈ ₹96.0) in total across three rounds, per Inc42 and Tracxn. The funding shape is that of a deliberately patient company: a long bootstrapped run, then a modest seed, then a larger Series A.

What each backer changed is worth naming. Omidyar Network India’s involvement at seed lent the model social-impact credibility around access to justice; MGA Ventures backed the company twice, signalling insider conviction; and Elevation Capital’s lead at Series A brought the kind of growth-stage validation that helps close enterprise deals with conservative buyers like banks.

How it makes money

Presolv360 earns by charging enterprises to run disputes through its platform rather than through courts. The economics rest on volume and standardisation: a lender with thousands of recovery cases pays for a repeatable digital process that is cheaper and faster than filing each one.

The numbers

Presolv360 is a private company, so its financials come from data platforms and ROC filings rather than audited public statements, and should be read as estimates. Revenue has grown steadily off a small base; detailed profit-and-loss figures are not reliably disclosed in public, so they are not stated here rather than guessed.

Financial year Revenue (₹ crore) Profit/loss (₹ crore)
FY24 ~13.8 (Inc42 / Tracxn estimate) Not publicly disclosed
FY25 ~18.8 (Inc42 / Tracxn estimate) Not publicly disclosed

The honest read: this is a small, fast-growing revenue base, not yet a large one. The FY25 Series A is what gives the company runway to grow past its current scale.

Where the money comes from

The revenue concentration is the story here. Presolv360’s disclosed traction points to a business anchored in financial services, where dispute volume is highest.

The surprise is where the demand comes from. This is not primarily a marketplace for corporate boardroom fights; the bulk of volume appears to be high-frequency, small-ticket lending and collections disputes that lenders cannot afford to take to court one by one. Presolv360’s addressable market is, in effect, the tail of the credit system rather than blue-chip litigation.

The risks

The takeaway

The transferable lesson from Presolv360 is about timing a category, not just building a product. The founders spent roughly five years without institutional funding because the market, the regulators and the buyers were not ready for online dispute resolution. They did not pivot away from the idea; they waited for the world to catch up, kept the burn low, and were positioned to move when banks finally needed an industrial way to handle millions of small disputes. When you are early to a real problem, survival long enough to meet the moment can matter more than moving fast.
