Jar

Jar is a Bengaluru-based fintech company operating India's first micro-savings app, enabling tens of millions of Indians to save in 24K digital gold from as little as ₹10. The app supports daily, weekly, monthly, and instant savings mechanisms, plus a round-up feature that automatically invests spare change from everyday transactions into 99.5%+ pure digital gold held in insured vaults. Founded in 2021 by Nishchay AG (CEO) and Misbah Ashraf (CPO) under Changejar Technologies Private Limited, Jar has grown to 50+ million registered users across 12,000+ Indian zip codes. The company recently vertically integrated its gold operations, moving away from a third-party distribution model to purchase, store, and manage gold directly. Jar partners with Brink's for global custody, ICICI Lombard for insurance, Vistra as independent trustee, and BDO as statutory auditor. Adjacent products include Nek, a direct-to-consumer gold and silver jewellery brand sold via shopnek.com. Jar reached profitability in 2025 after backing from Tiger Global, Arkam Ventures, Rainfall Ventures, Yes VC, and others at a $300M+ valuation, and is preparing for an IPO. There is no public developer API, SDK, or partner integration program — Jar is a B2C consumer mobile app distributed exclusively through Apple App Store and Google Play.

human only

Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Jar the way a machine reads it — 30 machine-readable artifacts, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Jar scores 12.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.
