KUALA LUMPUR, April 20 (Bernama) -- Druva Inc, the leader in Cloud Data Protection and Management, has announced a US$147 million investment as it rapidly scales in response to accelerated demand for its platform. (US$1 = RM4.118)

This new investment will fuel continued expansion of Druva Cloud Platform to meet today’s unprecedented needs, extending the company’s industry leadership as it defines tomorrow’s data protection.

The fundraise was led by Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ), a global investment group, with a significant investment by Neuberger Berman, each of which manage more than US$300 billion in net assets.
