Alaan, founded in 2022 in Dubai by McKinsey alumni Parthi Duraisamy and Karun Kurien, is the Middle East's leading spend management platform. It consolidates corporate spending and supplier payments through two core products, SuperCard (corporate cards with customizable controls) and SuperPay (invoice payments with competitive FX), layered with 'Alaan Intelligence' AI that automates receipt review, expense reporting, reconciliation and VAT extraction. The platform has processed over 2.5 million transactions for thousands of finance teams across major regional enterprises including G42, Careem, Tabby and Lulu Group, and claims to have saved finance teams more than 1.5 million hours of manual work. Alaan integrates with major accounting and ERP systems including Xero, QuickBooks, NetSuite, Dynamics 365, Odoo, SAP and Zoho Books, and holds a five-year Visa partnership. The company is profitable and in August 2025 raised a $48M Series A, one of the largest fintech Series A rounds in MENA, led by Peak XV Partners with participation from Y Combinator, 468 Capital, Pioneer Fund and founders of 885 Capital.
