Kovon, a cross-border workforce mobility platform, has raised $250,000 in a pre-seed funding round led by TDV Partners, the company announced in April 2026.
Founded by Bibartan Roy and Swayamjeet Das, Kovon connects India’s blue and grey-collar workforce to overseas job opportunities in sectors including healthcare, hospitality, construction, and logistics. The platform covers the full employment journey — from job discovery and upskilling to financing, placement, and post-deployment support.
The startup plans to use the funds for product development, global employer partnerships, candidate acquisition, and expansion of its skilling and training ecosystem. It also intends to hire across technology, operations, and partnerships.
Kovon is targeting labour markets in Europe, the UK, the Middle East, and other developed economies, where it aims to help address reported workforce shortages. On the supply side, the platform is focused on building verified, job-ready talent pipelines from India for global employers.
The funding could help Kovon scale its operations at a time when demand for structured international labour placement is growing, though the company’s ability to establish employer partnerships and expand its training ecosystem will likely determine how effectively it can serve both workers and overseas clients.
