Hiver, an inbox management company, has raised $4 million in Series A funding from Kalaari Capital and Kae Capital. The 50-person company will use the funds for product development and to expand its global customer base.

Hiver seeks to make Gmail a platform that “businesses can use for sales, support and their internal functions," states co-founder Niraj Ranjan Rout.

The platform allows G Suite users to manage shared inboxes such as support@, sales@ and admin@ from their Gmail, the firm says.

Gaurav Chaturvedi from Kae Capital and Rajesh Raju from Kalaari Capital will join the Hiver board of directors.

The company says it has over 1,000 customers in 30 countries, including Harvard University, Hubspot, Vacasa and Shutterstock.
