Tookitaki

Founded in 2015 by Abhishek Chatterjee and Jeeta Bandopadhyay, Tookitaki emerged from Chatterjee's five years at JPMorgan and his work on machine learning patents. The Singapore-headquartered company operates as a venture-backed technology firm rather than an allocator, deploying its capital into the FinCense platform and the proprietary AFC Ecosystem. It has raised more than $45 million across a $19 million Series A and a subsequent Series B round, securing strategic investment from Thunes along the way. FinCense operates as an end-to-end compliance platform covering anti-money laundering, fraud detection, smart screening, and transaction monitoring. Tookitaki claims 90% accuracy in high-quality alerts and a 50% reduction in false positives for users. Its AFC Ecosystem differentiates the platform by maintaining a continuously updated repository of global financial crime typologies, drawn from member institutions. The firm reports that its technology has analyzed over 5 billion transactions and monitors more than 400 million accounts for clients that include a leading Singapore bank, a digital bank, and a payment services client across Southeast Asia and the Middle East. The firm maintains offices in Singapore, India, the United States, and the Philippines, and was named a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer. An advisory board includes Dominic Mascrinas, a 37-year veteran of risk management and compliance, and Shailesh Haribhakti, who serves on over 20 boards. As of mid-2026, Tookitaki continues to publish quarterly FinCrime Landscape Reports that detail emerging typologies in Australia, New Zealand, and the Philippines. Tookitaki competes in a RegTech market crowded with both legacy vendors and AI-native startups, but its collaborative intelligence model is structurally distinct: every client both consumes and contributes detection scenarios. That networked approach means the platform grows more defensible as its customer base expands, turning compliance into a shared utility. The board includes Beatrice Lion, Floris de Kort, Ruwan De Soyza, and Sunil Sabharwal, while the advisory board adds regulatory depth — a governance structure typical of a late-stage venture company building toward public-market accountability.
