<description><![CDATA[ Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], April 29: In a country where the food business is booming, starting a restaurant is still a complex and often confusing process. From selecting the right equipment to designing an efficient kitchen, many aspiring entrepreneurs struggle to turn their ideas into reality.This is exactly the problem that Gurubhai Equipments set out to solve—and in doing so, it is quietly transforming how India opens restaurants.From a Simple Observation to a Scalable VisionThe journey began when Vishal Vora identified a critical gap in the market. While the number of food businesses was rapidly increasing, there was no structured guidance system for setting up a commercial kitchen.Most entrepreneurs faced:Lack of clarity on required equipment Inconsistent pricing across vendors Poor-quality products with no long-term reliability No single place offering complete solutions Instead of seeing this as a challenge, Vishal Vora saw it as an opportunity—to build a system that simplifies the entire process.Solving the Real Problem: Not Equipment, But ExecutionWhat makes Gurubhai Equipments different is its core philosophy:“We don’t just sell equipment—we help people start and scale food businesses.”The company focuses on solving practical, on-ground challenges such as:Planning efficient kitchen layouts Recommending the right equipment based on the menu Offering customized stainless steel solutions Providing a one-stop destination for everything from machinery to crockery This approach has positioned Gurubhai Equipments as more than a supplier; it has become a trusted partner for food entrepreneurs.Building a One-Stop Ecosystem for Food BusinessesOver time, Gurubhai Equipments has evolved into a comprehensive ecosystem that supports businesses at every stage.Today, it offers:Commercial kitchen equipment Food counters and carts Refrigeration and storage solutions Bakery and cloud kitchen setups Crockery, utensils, and furniture With a massive showroom in Ahmedabad and a strong manufacturing backbone, customers can experience products firsthand before making decisions, something that remains rare in the industry.Growth Backed by Strategy and TrustThe company’s growth has been driven by a powerful combination of:Customer trust and word-of-mouth referralsStrong digital presence on Instagram and FacebookConsistent focus on quality and customizationBy adapting to modern marketing channels while maintaining traditional business values, Gurubhai Equipments has built a loyal and expanding customer base across India.Empowering a New Generation of EntrepreneursIndia is witnessing a surge in food entrepreneurship from street food vendors to cloud kitchens and premium cafés. Gurubhai Equipments plays a crucial role in enabling this wave by making business setup simpler, faster, and more reliable.Thousands of entrepreneurs have already benefited from their solutions, turning ideas into successful ventures.The Vision AheadWith plans to expand manufacturing capabilities, strengthen exports, and integrate technology into customer experience, Gurubhai Equipments is aiming far beyond regional success.The long-term vision is clear:To become a global leader in commercial kitchen solutions and a trusted partner for every food entrepreneur.Gurubhai Equipments Devarshi Complex, Ajanta Ellora Road, Behind Palladium Mall, Thaltej - 380054 www.gurubhaiequipments.in Info@gurubhaiequipments.in 9510079889 8401779889 ]]></description>

<title>Mumbai&amp;apos;s Adsmagnify Enters Version 2.0 With AI Upgrades and Expanded Academy as It Targets Stronger Client Delivery in 2026</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/mumbais-adsmagnify-enters-version-20-with-ai-upgrades-and-expanded-academy-as-it-targets-stronger-client-delivery-in-2026</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/mumbais-adsmagnify-enters-version-20-with-ai-upgrades-and-expanded-academy-as-it-targets-stronger-client-delivery-in-2026</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  The digital marketing agency in Mumbai, operating since 2016, is overhauling its infrastructure, AI systems, and training vertical to sharpen results for clients across India.Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 09 : Adsmagnify, a performance marketing agency and academy based in Churchgate, Mumbai, is undergoing a structural upgrade in 2026. The firm is renovating its office, integrating advanced AI capabilities into its agency operations, and expanding its training vertical, Adsmagnify Academy. The company is calling this its 2.0 phase.The move signals a shift from organic growth to deliberate infrastructure building, as the agency positions itself for higher-volume client delivery and stronger talent production.What Is ChangingBusiness partners Vinay Hankare and Aloke Bajpai are leading the transition. The two are upgrading the agency&#039;s internal AI systems to improve campaign execution, data analysis, and reporting across client accounts. The office renovation is part of a broader effort to build an environment aligned with that operational scale.Adsmagnify Academy, the training arm of the business, is being expanded alongside the agency upgrade. The stated goal for 2026 is direct: deliver better results for existing clients, help more businesses grow revenue, and graduate capable performance marketers through the academy.Track Record and Current ScaleAdsmagnify has been operating as a digital marketing agency since 2016. Over that period, it has managed more than ₹50 crore in total ad spend and claims $51 million in cumulative revenue generated for clients.The agency currently works with 300-plus brands across travel, real estate, retail, and education. Documented results from its published case studies include a 17.16x ROAS for a travel brand on ₹1.3 lakh in Meta ad spend, a 400% sales surge for an apparel brand through Facebook Ads, and a 7x ROAS increase for a D2C brand over eight months. Average lead growth for B2B and SaaS clients is reported at 127%.The Academy: A Focused Bet on Performance Marketing TalentAdsmagnify Academy occupies a specific position in Mumbai&#039;s marketing education space. It is currently the only academy in Mumbai that focuses exclusively on performance marketing, as distinct from broader digital marketing courses that cover platforms superficially across multiple disciplines.The curriculum covers Meta Ads, Google Ads, SEO, and campaign strategy at a practitioner level. More notably, the academy offers internships that place students inside the agency itself. Graduates leave with hands-on experience running real client campaigns, not just platform certifications or theoretical knowledge. That distinction matters in a job market where employers increasingly separate candidates who have managed actual ad spend from those who have only completed coursework.The internship model also gives Adsmagnify a structured pipeline of trained talent, which addresses one of the more persistent operational challenges for growing agencies.The Market It Is Operating InMumbai is India&#039;s most competitive market for digital marketing services. The city hosts hundreds of agencies ranging from boutique performance shops to large integrated networks. Demand from SMEs, D2C brands, and real estate developers for measurable, ROI-linked marketing has grown sharply since 2021, accelerated by deeper paid media adoption across categories.As a performance marketing agency in Mumbai, Adsmagnify competes on case-study-backed results rather than brand scale or agency size. Its dual model, combining a client-serving agency with a practitioner training academy, is a structure that several mid-size Indian agencies are beginning to explore, though few have formalized both under one brand with the depth of specialization Adsmagnify is building toward.What This SignalsThe 2.0 upgrade reflects a pattern emerging across mid-market Indian digital agencies. As ad platform complexity increases and AI tools become table stakes, agencies that build proprietary systems and internal talent pipelines are likely to separate from those running on manual processes and generalist teams.For Adsmagnify, combining AI-enhanced delivery, a renovated operational base, and a performance-only academy with real internship exposure is a bet on consistency and depth rather than episodic client wins. The academy creates a secondary revenue stream while simultaneously solving the talent problem from within.Whether the AI integration translates into measurable improvements in client outcomes, and whether the academy model scales beyond Mumbai, remains to be demonstrated. The results Adsmagnify produces through 2026 will be the real test of the 2.0 thesis. ]]></description>

<title>This Startup Is Bringing Havan Benefits Into Everyday Life</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/this-startup-is-bringing-havan-benefits-into-everyday-life</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/this-startup-is-bringing-havan-benefits-into-everyday-life</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi [India], April 02: Every home today experiences some sort of stress whether it is work, family or a busy mind. In the past, spiritual practices were used to maintain balance, but now most people forget about them due to lack of time. People are seeking ways to easily feel calm again.To fill this gap a new idea called Gandhavaran is getting attention. It is a modern and traditional solution. Gandhavaran is a special incense (dhoop) which is made from the ingredients which are normally used in the havan rituals. The idea is simple; to bring the benefits of havan into everyday life in a small and easy way.What is Gandhavaran?Gandhavarana is a carefully made spiritual incense using herbs, resins and sacred woods from havan rituals. The ingredients are selected and mixed based on the astrological calculations so that the incense is able to activate the positive benefits of planets and constellations in the person&#039;s life.The makers say that Gandhavarana can be used in the place of a full havan at home or work. While performing a full havan might not be possible in the day to day schedule, lighting Gandhavarana is believed to maintain a positive and pure environment.The concept makes a lot of use of Indian astrology. Different positions of the planets, doshas (imbalances) and yogas (combinations) are thought to have an effect on the lives of the people. Gandhavarana products are thus tailored keeping in mind various astrological conditions.Types of Available GandhavaranaThe product range is made to cover many aspects of life, but especially those associated with astrology and spiritual health.1. For Planetary Doshas  Gandhavarana comes in versions for problems such as Guru Chandal Dosha, Kaal Sarp Dosha, Ketu Dosha, Angarak Dosha and Grahan Dosha. These are viewed as causes of trouble and rituals or havans are often used to remedy these.2. For Negative Energies And Obstacles  Some versions can help evacuate negative influences, for example, Nazar Dosha (evil eye), Vastu Dosha (building imbalance), and other disturbances, for example, PishachBadha.3. For the Activation of Positive Yogas  Other products help in strengthening good astrological combinations like Gajakesari Yoga, Lakshmi Vishnu Yoga and Panch Mahapurush Yogas like Malavya, Hansa and Ruchak Yoga.4. For Specific Goals  Some kinds are done for practical purposes, such as business expansion (Vyapar Vriddhi) and overall prosperity using Navgraha blends.In addition, products are tailored for all 12 zodiac signs, plus 27 nakshatras so that every person can get a more personal blend depending on their birth chart.Gandhavaranaendeavors to keep spiritual practice simple and in the same spirit. A full havan requires time, special materials and strict rituals that is something many people cannot keep up with. Gandhavarana has the same energy and benefits in a daily ritual which merely requires lighting a piece of incense.Users are encouraged to use it in homes, पूoja rooms, offices or shops to maintain a calm and positive aura.Another important thing among the makers is purity. In Indian spiritual practices a lot of importance is given to the quality and holiness of the material used in a ritual. Gandhavarana is prepared from the natural ingredients, which follows the classical rule of sattvik (pure) preparation.From sourcing of raw materials to the final packaging, the entire process adheres to religious and cultural values, thereby the product can be used spiritually.Women empowerment and social impactBeyond spirituality, Gandhavarana is also a strong social message. The product is made by underprivileged sanatani women of Bihar from low-income families.Women are the poorest segment of society in Bihar, specially in semi urban and urban area , they have to depend on there men folk for everything, this social enterprise gives them an opportunity to earn while staying at home.The area of operation is Danapur having a population of 300 Gir cows for easy avaiabilty of Cow dung and a big hanuman temple , the temple provides flowers offered t hanuman ji.By getting these women involved in the manufacturing, the program provides them with a constant income and a way that they can help to provide for their families. It also develops women entrepreneurship from the grassroots level.In a country where rural women have a limited number of job options, such projects help them to become financially independent and dignified. They also keep the traditional knowledge alive by the work done in the community.With the increasing awareness about mental health and need for peaceful living spaces, products like Gandhavarana are in sync with people in cities and suburbs.While some people only view it as a spiritual or astrological tool, others find it an appreciation for creating a calm home…The smell, in conjunction with the simple act of lighting incense, often brings peace and mindfulness. ]]></description>

<title>Hipmunk Returns to Simplify the Flight Booking Experience</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/hipmunk-returns-to-simplify-the-flight-booking-experience</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/hipmunk-returns-to-simplify-the-flight-booking-experience</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi [India], March 13 : Travelers
are always looking for faster, smarter, and easier ways to book flights, which
is why the online travel industry keeps changing. Travelers can once again use Hipmunk
to help them find flights quickly and easily. Hipmunk is known for its unique
search features and easy-to-use interface. Its goal is to help users find the
best flights without the hassle that comes with traditional booking sites.

Hipmunk&#039;s reopening means that there will be more work to make it easier for
people to search for, compare, and book airline tickets. The platform wants to
change the way people book flights by using smart search technology and a design
that is easy to use.

Hipmunk Official Website - https://www.hipmunk.co.in/

The Comeback of Hipmunk in Online Travel

When Hipmunk first came out, it quickly became a favorite among travelers
who wanted an easier way to look at different flight options. Hipmunk was
different from other booking sites that only showed prices. It came up with a
smarter way to show results.

Hipmunk is back, and the platform is expected to bring back its unique way
of doing things while also adding new features. As the travel industry gets
more competitive, users are paying more attention to platforms that are easy to
use and clear.

The fact that Hipmunk is back shows that people still want tools that help
them book smarter.

Smarter Flight Search Technology

Hipmunk&#039;s smart flight search system was one of the best things about it
that made it popular. The platform didn&#039;t show users hundreds of flight
listings; instead, it focused on showing the most useful ones first.

The search system takes into account a number of things, such as:


 Ticket price
 Total travel time
 Number of layovers
 Departure and arrival schedules
 Airline quality


Hipmunk helps travelers find the best flights by looking at these factors
all at once to find the best balance between cost and ease of use.

This method lets people quickly find the right flights without having to
spend hours comparing different travel websites.

A Clean and User-Friendly Interface

Travelers today want booking sites to be easy to use and look good. Hipmunk
has always had a clean layout and easy-to-use navigation.

The redesigned platform focuses on providing:


 Faster search results
 A clutter-free interface
 Simple filtering options
 Easy flight comparisons
 Mobile-friendly browsing


These changes make it easier and more fun to book a flight. Travelers can
quickly find the best flight options by sorting the results based on what they
want.

A simple interface also makes it less frustrating for many users to deal
with complicated booking systems.

Compare Flights from Multiple Airlines

One of the hardest things for travelers to do when booking flights is to
compare prices on different airlines and travel websites. The price of tickets
can be very different depending on where you buy them.

Hipmunk solves this problem by letting people compare flights. It gets
flight information from different airlines and travel agencies and shows the
results all in one place.

This allows travelers to:


 Compare airline ticket prices easily
 Discover cheaper travel options
 Explore alternative routes
 Save money on airfare


Hipmunk helps travelers make smart choices before booking their flights by
giving them a full comparison system.

Saving Time and Money for Travelers

Planning a trip can take a long time, especially when you&#039;re looking for cheap
flights. A lot of people spend hours going from one website
to another to compare ticket prices.

Hipmunk makes this easier by putting all the important flight information in
one place. Users can quickly narrow down their choices and pick the best flight
thanks to its advanced filters and organized search results.

This saves time and helps travelers get better deals. Having a reliable
flight search tool can make a big difference for anyone who is planning a
vacation, a business trip, or a last-minute trip.

Standing Out in a Competitive Market

There are a lot of well-known websites where you can book flights online.
Hipmunk, on the other hand, stands out because it focuses on being easy to use
and having smart search features.

The platform doesn&#039;t just show you long lists of flights; it also shows you
the ones that will give you the best overall travel experience. This new method
helps travelers find flights that are more convenient faster.

Platforms like Hipmunk could get a new group of users as travelers put more
and more value on efficiency and openness.

The Future of Flight Booking with Hipmunk

The return of Hipmunk is a big step forward for the online travel industry.
The platform&#039;s goal is to make booking flights easier for travelers all over
the world by focusing on smart search tools, price comparisons, and a simple
interface.

<title>Music Licensing Startup Hoopr Secures Funding from The Chennai Angels in its Pre&#45;Series A Round</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/music-licensing-startup-hoopr-secures-funding-from-the-chennai-angels-in-its-pre-series-a-round</link>

<description><![CDATA[  

Hoopr,
India’s pioneering music licensing platform building a transparent and
sustainable ecosystem for artists and brands, has raised an undisclosed amount
from The Chennai Angels as part of its ongoing Pre-Series A round. The round
has already seen participation from Inflection Point Ventures and MeitY
(Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology). 

The
funds will be deployed to scale Hoopr’s twin-engine ecosystem - Hoopr,
which serves Youtube and Instagram creators with copyright-safe music for digital
videos, and Hoopr Smash, India’s first Bollywood music licensing
platform for brands and enterprises. The investment will also support
technology development, including Hoopr’s proprietary system for detecting
violations of copyrighted music and enabling transparent revenue sharing with
artists and labels. 

Hoopr
has emerged as the defining player in India’s digital music licensing space,
serving over 4 lakh creators - including marquee names like Flying Beast,
Ranveer Brar, Curly Tales and Mr. Indian Hacker - and 180+ brands such as
Marico, ITC, Himalaya, Myntra, and Rajasthan Royals. On the supply side, Hoopr
Smash has aggregated catalogues from over 21 leading Indian labels including
YRF and Universal Music Group, along with 3 international labels, making it the
single largest platform for licensing Bollywood and Indian music. 

In
a landmark move, Hoopr recently launched its Artist Accelerator programme in
partnership with Universal Music Group, creating original music and recreations
specifically for the rapidly growing sync licensing market. The platform has
also signed a deal with IPRS (Indian Performing Right Society) and forged a
partnership with Adobe, further strengthening its position at the intersection
of music, technology, and content creation. 

Hoopr’s
sync capabilities were recently showcased when it placed the title track in Saali
Mohabbat produced by Jio Studios - a milestone that signals the platform’s
growing role in film and advertising music placement. 



Commenting
on the fundraise, Gaurav Dagaonkar, CEO &amp; Co-founder of Hoopr, IIM
Ahmedabad alumnus and award-winning music director, said: “India’s
creator economy has seen a 4x growth in creators over the past four years, and
yet music licensing remains one of the most unregulated and opaque parts of
this ecosystem. With over 80,000 brands and 5 lakh creators producing branded
content on social media, we’relooking at a ₹1,500 Crore opportunity that nobody
else is addressing at scale. Hoopr is building the infrastructure for
transparent music licensing - ensuring that every creator gets access to great
music legally, every brand is protected, and every artist gets paid fairly.
We’re grateful to The Chennai Angels and our investor partners for backing this
vision and joining us in building India’s music licensing rails.” 

With
OTT platforms and digital advertising driving unprecedented demand for licensed
music in films, ads, and branded content, Hoopr is uniquely positioned to
capture this market. The platform’s technology stack -spanning discovery,
licensing, copyright detection, and artist revenue sharing - makes it the only
end-to-end solution in a space that has historically operated on handshake
deals and opaque terms. 

Investment
Director from The Chennai Angels, Srinivasan B
said: Gaurav is first and foremost a musician, a creator and a songwriter.
When he saw chinks in the value proposition of music publishing, especially
from the emerging creator/ social media marketplace, Hoopr was his answer. He
took the conservative approach of first ensuring Hoopr was entrusted with the
rights for his own music, as well as rights to some of India’s greatest music
library - as seed capital - thus ensuring a virtuous cycle of cash flows that
allowed for the innovations and experiments that Hoopr is focussed on. He then
has approached labels, creators as well as end-user Clients, many of whom now

<title>Indian Startup Rising Roots Ventures Enters Oral Care Space with Tidiyo Tongue Cleaning Kit</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/indian-startup-rising-roots-ventures-enters-oral-care-space-with-tidiyo-tongue-cleaning-kit</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/indian-startup-rising-roots-ventures-enters-oral-care-space-with-tidiyo-tongue-cleaning-kit</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Bengaluru, India:
Rising Roots Ventures (OPC) Private Limited has announced the launch of Tidiyo,
an innovative oral care brand focused on solving one of the most overlooked
hygiene problems—bad breath caused by tongue bacteria. The brand’s first
product, the Tidiyo
Tongue Cleaning Kit, is now available in India.

 

While toothpaste and mouthwash are widely used for
oral hygiene, studies and dental insights show that a major percentage
of odor-causing bacteria accumulate on the tongue, not the teeth. Addressing
this gap, Tidiyo introduces a tongue-focused oral care solution
designed to eliminate bad breath at its source.

 

The Tidiyo Tongue Cleaning Kit includes a specially
formulated tongue coating paste along with a precision-designed
tongue cleaner. The paste works by breaking down odor-causing bacteria, helping
users achieve long-lasting freshness rather than temporary masking of bad
breath.

 

According to the company, the formulation is crafted
to be gentle yet effective, supporting overall tongue hygiene while helping
maintain elasticity and oral comfort. Unlike conventional oral products that
focus primarily on teeth, Tidiyo’s approach centers on tongue care as a
critical pillar of daily oral hygiene.

 

Rajasekar V, Founder of
Rising Roots Ventures (OPC) Private Limited, said:
“Bad breath is a common problem, but most solutions only address the surface.
The tongue holds maximum bacteria, and that’s where the real issue starts. With
Tidiyo, we wanted to create a simple, practical product that directly targets
the root cause rather than offering short-term fixes.”

 

The launch of Tidiyo aligns with the growing demand
for preventive and problem-specific personal care products in
India. Designed for daily use, the Tongue Cleaning Kit is suitable for
individuals seeking improved oral hygiene as part of their regular routine.

 

The product is now available online via the official
website:

https://bit.ly/4buSOaz

 

With this launch, Rising Roots Ventures aims to build
Tidiyo into a trusted oral care brand that encourages consumers to rethink
conventional hygiene habits and adopt more effective, science-backed solutions. ]]></description>

<title>What is Touching Towns? This Delhi&#45;Based Startup Is Fixing One of Highway Travel’s Most Ignored Problems</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/what-is-touching-towns-this-delhi-based-startup-is-fixing-one-of-highway-travels-most-ignored-problems</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/what-is-touching-towns-this-delhi-based-startup-is-fixing-one-of-highway-travels-most-ignored-problems</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Since 2022, India has witnessed a quiet but
powerful shift. Startup culture has moved beyond metro boardrooms and Ivy
League dreams. Across campuses and small towns, students and young
professionals are walking away from traditional career paths and even
high-profile degrees to build startups rooted in real, everyday problems.

 

Not all of these ideas are about apps, fintech, or
artificial intelligence. Some are far more grounded—born from lived
experiences, repeated frustrations, and gaps that most people complain about
but few choose to fix.

 

One such gap lies right along India’s highways.

 

When World-Class
Roads Meet Poor Pit Stops

India’s highways today are symbols of progress.
Expressways cut travel time dramatically, connect tier-2 cities to metros, and
support trade, tourism, and logistics at scale. On paper, the country’s road
infrastructure rivals global benchmarks.

 

But the moment a traveller needs to stop for food,
rest, or a washroom, the experience often changes. Clean, safe, and hygienic
pit stops are still difficult to find. Families hesitate, women travellers plan
stops carefully, and truck drivers have little choice but to adjust.

 

This mismatch between modern roads and outdated
roadside facilities is what led to the birth of Touching Towns.

 

A Chartered
Accountant Who Chose an Unusual Problem

Touching Towns was founded by Anshuman Chaudhary,
a Chartered Accountant who took an unconventional route into entrepreneurship.
Unlike many startup stories driven by valuation dreams, this one began with
observation.

 

Frequent highway travel made one thing clear: the
problem wasn’t always neglect. Many roadside eateries, dhabas, and small hotels
are family-run businesses operating without exposure to structured hygiene
standards or professional training.

 

“There is willingness,” Anshuman often
notes. “But there is a lack of awareness.”

 

That insight became the foundation of Touching
Towns.

 

Education Over
Penalties

Instead of acting like an inspection authority,
Touching Towns works as a partner. The startup focuses on education rather than
enforcement helping establishments understand what hygiene actually means in
daily operations.

 

The process begins with on-site assessments
covering kitchen practices, food handling, washroom maintenance, waste
management, and overall cleanliness. Based on these findings, customised
training is provided to staff, focusing on habits, routines, and simple systems
rather than costly upgrades.

 

The idea is to build pride in cleanliness, not
fear of punishment.

 

Starting with the
Delhi–Chandigarh Highway

Touching Towns began its work on the
Delhi–Chandigarh highway, one of North India’s busiest travel corridors. The
stretch serves everyone from business travellers and tourists to long-haul
truck drivers, making it a realistic testing ground.

 

Establishments that meet hygiene benchmarks are
recognised, helping travellers identify reliable stopovers. Regular monitoring
and traveller feedback add a layer of accountability, encouraging consistency.

 

Over time, trust begins to build not just in individual
outlets, but in the idea that highway stops can be dependable.

 

Why This Model
Matters

India’s highway hospitality ecosystem is massive
and fragmented. While food safety rules exist, enforcement is uneven,
especially outside urban centres. Touching Towns steps into this gap as a
neutral third party—aligning hygiene with business benefits.

 

Cleanliness directly impacts footfall, repeat
visits, and reputation. For roadside businesses operating in competitive
clusters, even small improvements can make a measurable difference.

 

Redefining What
Infrastructure Really Means

Touching Towns doesn’t build new rest stops or
restaurants. Instead, it upgrades what already exists making the model
scalable, cost-effective, and adaptable across regions.

 

As India’s startup wave continues to mature,
ventures like this signal a shift in thinking. Entrepreneurship is no longer
only about disruption, it’s about responsibility, dignity, and solving
overlooked problems at scale.

 

Because in the end, infrastructure isn’t just
about roads.


It’s about how people experience the journey.

<title>FatakPay Launches FatakUdaan to Enable Credit Building for Millions of Indians</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/fatakpay-launches-fatakudaan-to-enable-credit-building-for-millions-of-indians</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/fatakpay-launches-fatakudaan-to-enable-credit-building-for-millions-of-indians</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  FatakPay, a digital lending startup,
today announced the launch of FatakUdaan, a digital credit-building product
aimed at helping millions of credit-underserved Indians build and strengthen
their credit scores through a simple, structured journey. The product is
designed for first-time borrowers, gig workers and blue-collar workers in Tier
2 and Tier 3 cities with no or low credit history.

 

FatakUdaan provides users access to their credit
bureau report along with an in-depth credit analysis that helps them understand
their credit history, current score, and key factors impacting their
creditworthiness. The product offers guided, actionable steps to help users
assess liabilities, correct past issues, and adopt healthier credit behaviours
over time.

 

As part of the journey, users gain access to a secured
credit card through FatakPay’s banking partners by depositing a nominal amount
in a fixed deposit, which becomes their credit limit. The low FD threshold
ensures broad participation and enables users to build repayment discipline
through regular usage. Select eligible users may also receive a micro instant
personal loan, repayable within three months, with timely repayments reported
to credit bureaus to further improve credit scores.

 

Commenting on the launch, Abhishek Gandhi, Co-Founder,
FatakPay, said, ‘Approximately 451 million Indians have limited or no access to
formal credit, restricting their financial opportunities. FatakUdaan is
designed to help individuals take their first step toward building a credit
history, improving low scores, and unlocking access to formal financial
products, creating meaningful social impact and greater inclusion.’

 

Gaurav Keskar, VP Marketing, FatakPay, added,
‘FatakUdaan focuses on a behaviour-led, habit-forming approach to credit
building rather than a one-time transaction. By enabling small, structured
actions such as timely repayments, we help users build confidence, stronger
credit habits, and long-term financial stability.’

 

With FatakUdaan, FatakPay continues to innovate in
digital lending by combining awareness, education, and practical
credit-building tools to help users transition from being credit-invisible to
credit-ready.

 

About FatakPay

semi-urban and rural workforce through a holistic digital ecosystem that goes
beyond credit to help users save, invest, protect their wealth, and build
financial confidence. With FatakUdaan, its credit-building product, and
FatakSecure, its IRDA-licensed insurance platform, FatakPay empowers
underserved Indians to establish credit, protect assets, and take control of
their financial journey.

and lifestyle rewards,creating a truly Bharat-centric financial experience.

<title>Can Airbnb Villas Be a New Investment Class? This Startup Founded by IITians Thinks So &#45; and Has the Numbers to Prove It</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/can-airbnb-villas-be-a-new-investment-class-this-startup-founded-by-iitians-thinks-so-and-has-the-numbers-to-prove-it</link>

<description><![CDATA[ For
decades, real estate has been a slow-moving, capital-heavy investment vehicle -
often limited to HNIs and institutional players. But what if you could earn
25%+ IRR from luxury homes, without owning them?

A
new Indian startup, Spacez,
has introduced its platform EDGE, which is redefining how people invest
in physical assets - not by buying property, but by backing Airbnb-style villa
businesses that generate high-yield cash flows in metro cities.

This
isn’t real estate investing. Its fractional investing in profitable homestay
operations - and Edge by Spacez has the playbook (and numbers) to prove it
works.

The
New Play: Villas as Micro-Hospitality Businesses

Founded
in 2024 by IITians, Spacez leases villas in prime urban locations, transforms
them into luxury homestays, and sells on a per-night basis on its own website,
apps, and other platforms like Airbnb, MMT, and for private bookings.

Each
villa is designed for premium use cases: family stays, corporate off-sites,
brand shoots, weekend getaways, and more. You invest in the capex and setup,
and share the profits.

“We’re
not buying the villas. We lease, renovate, operate, and split the profits with
fractional investors. You’re not owning land, not investing crores but you
still get a chance to earn more than the average rental yield - you’re owning a
piece of a business,” says Hardik Lodha, CEO of Spacez.

Investors
typically come in with ₹3-5 lakhs, taking 1 of 4 slots per villa project, with
returns starting within 3 months of go-live and quarterly pay-outs thereafter.

Over
100 people have already trusted Spacez Edge, and this model, coming from
diverse backgrounds, including early-stage founders, doctors, finance and tech
professionals, and even family offices, all looking for diversification and
high-yield returns without property ownership risk.

Addressing
the most common investor question around consistency of returns, Hardik adds,
“Our edge lies in operational control. We take complete ownership of pricing,
cost efficiency, and day-to-day execution. This allows investors to remain
fully passive while we focus on delivering stable and predictable outcomes
through disciplined operations.” 

“I
didn’t have crores to invest but wanted regular cash flow. Spacez offered
exactly that - a high-yield hospitality model with full transparency,” says
Dixit Jain, an early investor in multiple Spacez Villas.

“This
is the perfect moment for an alternative-yield model like ours,” says Hardik.
“Airbnb-style travel is exploding across Indian cities, and more people now prefer
private villas over hotels for privacy, space, and flexibility. The demand
curve has shifted permanently, and we’re building right at the centre of that
change”.

Scaling
with Precision: 40 Villas and Counting

Spacez
started operations in 2024 and, in just over a year, has scaled to 40 fully
managed villas across Mumbai and Bangalore, with 75%+ occupancy.

The
team is now targeting 400 managed villas across India’s top six cities and is
actively raising capital through fractional investments to fuel the next phase
of growth.

A
New Category: Yield from Branded Hospitality

Spacez
isn’t just a hospitality company. It’s building a new investment category -
where anyone can co-invest in operational luxury villas, access structured
returns, and track performance like a portfolio.

The
team believes this model can unlock financial participation in real assets for
a broader investor base - without the friction and stagnation of traditional
real estate.

you’re interested in participating in the next set of villa opportunities,

contact the investment team at +918792817217, Email: investments@spacez.co. Investment slots
start at ₹3-5 lakhs, with early access to pre-vetted properties. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/cricstudio-backed-by-innovations-venture-studio-launches-15th-global-store-in-hyderabad-led-by-professional-cricketers</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Hyderabad | July 28, 2025 : Sports Start up of the year awarded Cricstudio, rapidly expanding exclusive
cricket multi brand retail chain has today unveiled its 15th global store,
located in the cricket-loving city of Hyderabad. The latest outlet at Banjara
Hills, heart of Hyderabad marks another major step in Cricstudio’s mission to
bring authentic, professional-grade cricket retail experiences closer to
players across the world.

 

What sets the Hyderabad
store apart is that it is run by three topmost professional cricketers from
Hyderabad. This move reflects Cricstudio’s unique approach to retail
expansion—empowering experienced players to lead the stores, ensuring that
customers engage with those who truly understand the game.

 

“We’re proud to bring our
cricket journey full circle by running a store that supports the next
generation of players,” said Mr. Vikas Reddy, Hyderabad Cricstudio. “With
Cricstudio, we’re not just selling equipment—we’re sharing our experience,
insights, and passion with every aspiring cricketer,” said Mr. Abhirath Reddy.

 

As professional cricketers,
we’ve always dreamt of creating something meaningful for the cricketing
community in our city. “With Cricstudio, we’ve found the perfect platform that
blends our passion for the game with an entrepreneurial opportunity,” said Mr.
Nitesh Reddy, Partner Hyderabad Studio. This store is more than a business—it’s
a space where players can walk in, talk cricket, get honest advice, and choose
gear that’s truly right for them. We’re excited to help elevate cricket retail
experiences in Hyderabad and beyond.”
– Mr. Nitesh, Vikas and
Abhirath Reddy, Partners, Cricstudio Hyderabad

 

Located in Green Valley,
Banjara Hills, the Hyderabad outlet offers a premium in-store experience,
showcasing equipment from top global brands—SG, SS, MRF, Kookaburra,
Gray-Nicolls—alongside Cricstudio’s in-house “Swar” (Sword &amp; Armour) line.
Customers also benefit from personalized bat fitting, live testing zones, and
expert advisory from those who’ve played the game professionally.

 

Cricstudio’s franchise
model, which emphasizes onboarding professional cricketers and seasoned players
as store partners, is a cornerstone of its brand philosophy and growth
strategy. Hyderabad is the latest example of this model in action, and similar
partnerships are being explored in other cricketing hubs across India and
abroad.

 

“Our belief is
simple—cricketers understand cricketers best,” said Himanshu Sisodia, Founder
Cricstudio. “By empowering players to lead our stores, we create a customer
experience that’s authentic, credible, and passionate.”

 

“Innovations Venture Studio
is proud to support a venture like Cricstudio that champions grassroots
entrepreneurship while scaling globally,” added Manish Khurana, Founder of
Innovations Venture Studio. “Their franchise-first, cricketer-led model is not just
scalable, it’s deeply meaningful.”

 

With Hyderabad joining the global lineup,
Cricstudio now operates in 15 locations, including Ahmedabad, Surat, Indore,
Meerut, Jaipur, London, Toronto, Melbourne, and Trinidad—cementing its position
as one of the most trusted cricket experience brands worldwide.

<title>Delhi startup Launches Chanakya AI, introducing AI Teachers that Analyses Answers and Gives Smarter Feedback</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/delhi-startup-launches-chanakya-ai-introducing-ai-teachers-that-analyses-answers-and-gives-smarter-feedback</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/delhi-startup-launches-chanakya-ai-introducing-ai-teachers-that-analyses-answers-and-gives-smarter-feedback</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ NEW DELHI, July 7, 2025 :  What if your child could
instantly know exactly where they went wrong in a chapter—and how to fix it?
Neurobridge Tech Pvt Ltd today announced the official launch of Chanakya AI,
India&#039;s first AI platform analyzing handwritten CBSE exam answers and providing
personalized feedback. This breakthrough technology bridges a long-standing gap
in India&#039;s ₹3,74,000 crore ($50.31 billion) K-12 education market by delivering
one-on-one guidance previously available only through costly private tutoring.

 

Chanakya AI has shown remarkable results during its year-long beta
phase, with over 500 students across multiple states reporting grade
improvements. Delhi student Kiran Kumar&#039;s math scores improved from 28% to 45%,
while Pune students reported jumps from 72% to 84%.

 

Unlike conventional education methods—which merely assign marks and
indicate if answers are right or wrong—Chanakya AI identifies why students make
particular mistakes. After students upload photos of their handwritten answers,
the AI system analyzes their work, highlighting error patterns, identifying
conceptual gaps, and calculating marks lost due to repeated mistakes.

 

&quot;Traditional methods simply tell students how many marks they&#039;ve
scored or lost,&quot; explained Garvit Kothari, CEO and Co-founder. &quot;We go
further. For example, if a student consistently mixes up velocity and
acceleration concepts, we not only show them they&#039;ve lost 8 marks because of
this recurring mistake but also create targeted interventions addressing this
conceptual confusion.&quot;

 

This approach represents a fundamental improvement over traditional
educational systems and current edtech platforms like Byju&#039;s, Unacademy, and
Vedantu, which provide standardized lectures and multiple-choice questions,
rather than personalized insights into handwritten answers.

 

Chanakya AI&#039;s process involves students practicing questions and
uploading photos of their handwritten answers via the app. Proprietary AI
interprets handwritten answers with 92% accuracy (targeting 95%+ by year-end),
identifies mistakes across conceptual, procedural, and calculation categories,
then recommends targeted reviews, specific practice problems, and guided
content. The system tracks progress in real-time, dynamically adjusting
difficulty to help students master concepts.

 

&quot;My mother serves as principal of a government school and
constantly shares stories of bright students struggling due to
one-size-fits-all teaching methods,&quot; said Atharv Garg, COO and Co-founder.
&quot;With class sizes often reaching up to 45 students per teacher, it&#039;s
humanly impossible for teachers to identify and correct every student&#039;s unique
learning challenges. That&#039;s the gap our AI fills—by providing personalized
interventions to every student, no matter how large the class size.&quot;

 

Early user experiences demonstrate tangible improvements. &quot;My
son&#039;s grades improved from 72% to 84% in just two months. Chanakya&#039;s
personalized feedback finally made the difference,&quot; said Priya Sharma,
mother of a 10th grader from Delhi. &quot;My math scores improved by 20 marks
after using Chanakya. The AI clearly explained where I went wrong and gave
precise steps to practice,&quot; said Ananya R., a Grade 10 student from Pune.

 

Chanakya AI plans expansion by Q4 2025, covering grades 6-8 and all
subjects for grades 11-12. Voice and video interaction capabilities launching
in August 2025 will create India&#039;s first omnichannel AI tutoring experience.
&quot;Students will soon speak directly with their AI tutors, demonstrate their
problem-solving process visually, and receive real-time verbal feedback,&quot;
said Garg.

 

Additionally, Chanakya AI is developing B2B solutions for schools,
automating the examination lifecycle—from test creation and grading to
performance analytics. Self-funded to date, the company aims to raise Series A
capital in Q4 2025 to accelerate development and market reach.

 

Built on proprietary CBSE-aligned Large Language Models trained on over
100,000 question-answer pairs, Chanakya AI is accessible via aichanakya.in across smartphones,
tablets, laptops, and desktops. Priced at ₹1,500 monthly—a fraction of
traditional private tutoring costs—the platform provides analytical insights
previously accessible only to affluent students.

 

&quot;Every success story like Kiran Kumar&#039;s symbolizes thousands of
students across India who simply need the right support to thrive
academically,&quot; noted Garg. &quot;Our mission is making personalized
learning support universally accessible.&quot;

 

Chanakya AI enters India&#039;s rapidly expanding online education market,
projected to grow from ₹21,700 crore ($2.92 billion) in 2024 to ₹1,55,900 crore
($20.98 billion) by 2033, representing a 24.50% compound annual growth rate.
&quot;With India&#039;s 261 million students across 1.5 million schools, our
handwritten analysis and personalized learning approach addre ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi | 3rd June 2025 : Atal Incubation Centre - Birla Institute of
Management Technology (AIC-BIMTECH) was honoured to be part of Google AI Day
for Startups – Delhi, hosted by Google for Startups at I-Hub Foundation for
Cobotics (IHFC), the Technology Innovation Hub of IIT Delhi. AI Day for Startup
was a day-long event and was part of Google’s nationwide initiative to empower
Indian startups with cutting-edge Generative AI tools and practices.

approaches to AI commercialization — including discussions on return on
investment (ROI), deployment strategies, and product-market fit.

 

We were equally proud to see one of our incubated startup founders,
Keshav Jha, Founder of BhartAI and Academiq.io, who was one of the
beneficiaries who was selected under Google for the Startup program, attended
the learning event. Sharing his experience, Keshav remarked:

 

“This event transcended the typical conference experience, bringing together
India&#039;s brightest AI minds for a day of deep technical exploration - from
Vertex AI and Gemini APIs to high-impact networking. I am grateful to Birla
Institute of Management Technology (BIMTECH) and AIC BIMTECH for their
incubation support. Hearing our mentor and AIC-BIMTECH CEO, Mr. Surya Kant,
articulating a strategic vision for AI&#039;s future reinforced the critical role of
ecosystem support like BIMTECH&#039;s incubation program in fueling entrepreneurial
journeys.”

 

As an incubator committed to advancing innovation and supporting
startups, Atal Incubation Centre - Birla Institute of Management Technology
(AIC-BIMTECH) celebrates platforms like these that foster learning,
collaboration, and breakthrough thinking in the AI space. We extend our gratitude
to IHFC and Google for Startups for curating such a dynamic and future-focused
experience. As an enabler of the startup ecosystem we are committed to
contribute towards the vision of Viksit Bharat. The incubation hub is one of
the enabling partner under MeitY for SAMRIDH schemes through which we have
facilitated over ₹2 crores for five AI startups, which are CreditSiddhi,
Cunomial, Origin Connect, Transport Simple, and Vacus. ]]></description>

<title>India’s Laptop Leasing Surge: Youth, MSMEs, and Startups at the Helm, Says C&#45;Prompt’s KK Baldwa</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/indias-laptop-leasing-surge-youth-msmes-and-startups-at-the-helm-says-c-prompts-kk-baldwa</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/indias-laptop-leasing-surge-youth-msmes-and-startups-at-the-helm-says-c-prompts-kk-baldwa</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ India’s laptop leasing market is witnessing a paradigm shift, fuelled
by rising demand from Gen-Z professionals, growing co-working spaces, a
thriving startup ecosystem, and an expanding MSME sector. As businesses
increasingly prioritize cost-effective and agile IT solutions, the country’s
youth—comprising 40% of the population—is playing a pivotal role in this
transformation.

 

While laptop and desktop leasing is already a mature industry globally,
India is rapidly catching up. Companies are recognizing the benefits of leasing
over traditional ownership, from reduced upfront costs to better adaptability
in a fast-changing digital environment.

 

C-Prompt Solutions, a rising player in India’s IT leasing space, is
leveraging this momentum. With a ready inventory and scalable deployment
solutions, the company is meeting the diverse needs of startups, MSMEs,
educational institutions, large enterprises, and individual users. Co-founder
KK Baldwa believes India is poised to become a global hub for IT infrastructure
leasing—especially for laptops and desktops—amid the country’s ongoing digital
evolution.

 

“In today’s fast-paced digital economy, India’s emergence as the
fourth-largest global economy is strongly supported by its tech-driven growth,”
says Baldwa. “The laptop leasing market here is growing faster than
anticipated, and I believe it will soon exceed all projections.”

 

With over 63 million MSMEs contributing nearly 30% to India’s GDP and a
startup ecosystem boasting more than 160,000 ventures—including 120
unicorns—the demand for flexible IT infrastructure is already robust. According
to Baldwa, Gen-Z professionals, MSMEs, and startups will be the primary drivers
of leasing adoption in the country.

 

“Leasing enables businesses to conserve capital, reduce liabilities,
and enhance operational efficiency,” he explains. “In the post-COVID economy,
cost-efficiency is critical. Leasing IT assets offers organizations the ability
to stay competitive without compromising on technology or support.”

 

The benefits of leasing extend beyond cost savings. It helps companies
remain technologically up-to-date, streamline asset management, and ensure
access to quick and responsive support. Baldwa adds, “Why commit to buying when
leasing offers flexibility, scalability, and efficiency?”

 

Globally, the laptop leasing market was valued at USD 151.1 billion in
2024 and is projected to grow to USD 200.7 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 3.07%.
This growth is driven by remote work trends, digital learning, and an
increasing emphasis on sustainability. While the U.S. and Europe currently lead
in adoption, India’s unique demographic and economic landscape positions it as
a strong emerging contender.

 

However, the journey isn’t without hurdles. Companies in the leasing
space must navigate rapid tech advancements, manage lifecycle logistics, and
maintain service quality amid growing competition from OEMs and online rental
platforms—all while keeping margins intact.

 

Despite these challenges, the outlook remains strong. As Baldwa puts
it, “India is at the cusp of a leasing revolution. With the right focus and

<description><![CDATA[ As the global
population continues to age rapidly, India stands out with its dynamic and
youthful workforce. Experts project that India will maintain a leading position
in terms of its working-age population for the next 25 to 30 years, making its
youth a key driver of progress. Recognized as both catalysts and beneficiaries
of change, the youth of India hold immense potential to shape the nation’s
future.

 

The “Crafting Bharat – Season 2” powered by AWS Startups, an initiative by
NewsReach, in association with VCCircle, and production partner – HT Smartcast,
explores how startups are harnessing the power of the cloud to accelerate
growth, optimise operations, and building solutions that will define
the India of Tomorrow. This series is hosted by Gautam Srinivasan,
famed for hosting a diverse range of TV and digital programs, currently
consulting editor at CNBC (India),
CNN-News18, Forbes India, and The Economic Times.

 

In this
episode, we spotlight Dheeraj Pandey, Co-Founder &amp; CEO of DevRev,
who is on a mission to transform how businesses connect with their customers.
He shares his insights on scaling a global AI powerhouse, stretching every
dollar to build resilient companies, and what it truly takes for India to
emerge as a leader in SaaS 2.0 and AI-driven innovation. Discover the inspiring
stories of startups shifting gears and driving innovation across various
sectors, contributing to the mission of transforming India into a developed

Excerpts:

Segment 1:
Ignite

With DevRev you
initially built a Jira alternative but pivoted to focus on customer support and
customer centricity which presented better and more immediate growth
opportunities. So, did the script flip?

We didn’t originally
set out to be a Jira alternative—that’s a misconception. For us, work is simply
work, whether it’s support tasks or development efforts. Traditionally,
companies have operated in silos, but the reality is that 90% of the
engineering behind these systems is fundamentally the same. Whether it’s
Salesforce opportunities, Salesforce tickets, Zendesk tickets, Freshdesk
tickets, or Jira issues, they all follow similar workflows with stages, states,
and approvals. The real magic lies in recognizing that if you were to build
software today—whether for opportunities, tickets, issues, or incidents—90% of
the foundational requirements remain the same.

 

In terms of
making the funding runway last longer than usual basis the lessons that leading your previous
startup had provided?

Stretching the
dollar is a term I use often. Firstly, I would say is the talent. If you make
the company top-heavy, it will initially create problems among the specialists.
You need to have a lot of synchronization before evolving and passing on the
baton to avoid burning out the funding. Secondly, investing in young talents as
they have the hunger to achieve and learn. By arbitraging this hunger with that other
hunger which is demand and supply coming together is at the core of building
great companies that stretched the dollar.

 

Segment 2:
Launch

What’s DevRev
doing to democratize data at scale and break organizational silos that exist
even in digitally native businesses to make AI actionable?

My perspective,
and our collective approach, revolve around the concept of team
intelligence—understanding what AI is truly unlocking. In this vision, both the
customer and the AI agent are integral members of the team. This shift
redefines collaboration, ensuring that AI agents enhance rather than replace
jobs, while also bridging the gap between businesses and customers, making them
part of the same ecosystem rather than separate entities.



Sub-segment:
Boost

How do you see
the bond between DevRev and AWS transform the enterprise especially as AI shifts
the focus from code to customer-centric solutions?

I am a big fan
of not just Amazon Web Services (AWS) but Amazon as well. The reason Amazon
became popular is because of their 3 pillars – Convenience, Choice and Pricing.
At DevRev we believe in the same three pillars. AWS has the best sales
engineers and solution architects who talk to our developers in a very low
latency and highly precise way. They have been humbling to us from Day 1 and it
continues. I feel that level of hustle is just unparalleled. 



Segment 3:
Orbit

How can India
overcome the hurdles, advance to SaaS 2.0, and emerge as a global AI powerhouse
in line with Mission 2047?

The initial
step is moving beyond prompt engineering. AI starts with prompt-based
approaches using foundation models, but that’s just the beginning. As many
companies offer GPT wrappers, the next critical leap is semantic search and
advanced reasoning. Talented engineers and designers can harness these
capabilities, effectively unleashing AI’s  ]]></description>

<title>Hyderabad Founders Raise $500K for AI Startup Wittelsbach.AI, Now Valued at $3.6M and Launching from Dubai</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/hyderabad-founders-raise-500k-for-ai-startup-wittelsbachai-now-valued-at-36m-and-launching-from-dubai</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Dubai/Hyderabad, April 2025 :  Wittelsbach.AI, a performance marketing
startup founded by Indian entrepreneurs Abhishek Pinninti, Prardhana Kennedy,
and Santosh Valisetti, has raised $500,000 in seed funding from a Dubai-based
gaming company, bringing the company’s valuation to ₹30 crore (~$3.6 million).

 

Now headquartered in Dubai, Wittelsbach.AI is
building an intelligent performance engine that helps brands automate digital
advertising decisions in real time, a major shift from the reactive strategies
marketers still depend on.

 

“We’ve seen millions lost in ad fatigue and
budget inefficiencies,” says the core team. 



“Wittelsbach.AI is built to prevent that by
detecting campaign fatigue early, reallocating budgets instantly, and
recommending what to scale before ROAS drops.”

The proprietary AI platform integrates with
Meta, Google Ads, TikTok and Shopify, and has been trained on performance
signals across dozens of DTC brands. Its goal: to help ecommerce marketers stop
guessing and start scaling smarter and faster.

 

Initially started as a marketing agency in
Hyderabad, the founders pivoted to product after repeatedly encountering the
same pain point in the industry: delayed decisions leading to wasted ad spend.

 

The team plans to use the new funds to scale
product development, onboard early partners, and expand across the UAE,
Australia &amp; Canada.

 

Wittelsbach.AI is currently operating in
private beta with select brands and is expected to open early access sign-ups
later this quarter.

<title>The Inkk.ai Marketplace: How To Create And Leverage AI Agents</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/the-inkkai-marketplace-how-to-create-and-leverage-ai-agents</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/the-inkkai-marketplace-how-to-create-and-leverage-ai-agents</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Gajraula, India : AI marketplaces are becoming
increasingly popular for finding AI agents that can handle a wide range of
everyday tasks. 

 

Inkk.ai,
a real-time collaborative word editor developed by Vewmet Digital Life Pvt Ltd,
has taken this a step further. It has launched its own AI agent marketplace
designed specifically to help writers—both individuals and businesses—for
everyday writing tasks.

 

Inkk.ai has created a robust
marketplace with AI agents for every writing requirement. 

These
agents are equipped with the tools to delegate functions on its writing
platforms. The LLM Agent Marketplace is the hub of numerous writing-focused agents. 

 

Thousands Of AI Agents For Every Writing Need 

 

2025
is the year of AI agents, and Inkk.ai has created its LLM Agent Marketplace, where users can access various AI agents.
Inkk.ai hosts thousands of AI agents, each designed to cater to specific
writing styles and industries. 

 

From
content creation, storytelling, and technical writing to academic research,
users can find AI models that match their needs. Whether leveraging pre-trained
models or fine-tuning their own, Inkk.ai empowers users to build AI agents that
align with the user&#039;s specific objectives. 

 

For
example, if a user wants to create an agent who is specially trained to write
horror stories and leverages the latest deepseek model for better response, she
can create a new agent with deepseek endpoint, and some prompt engineering.
Other interested users would be able to install the newly created agent to use
it. The AI agent could seamlessly create articles with horror writing style and
save time concurrently. 

Local Execution For Enhanced Security 

One
of Inkk.ai’s exemplary features is its ability to run AI agents on local
computers, which ensures enhanced security and privacy. Local execution allows
users to maintain full control over their data and ensures confidentiality.
Ink.ai supports fine-tuned and pre-tuned AI models, enabling users to choose
between ready-to-use solutions and custom-trained models. 

Seamless Collaboration 

Inkk.ai
allows 128 users to collaborate on a single page and has a capacity of 8
million characters per page at sound speed. Multiple users can interact with AI
agents, share data and make outputs accordingly. This function enables users to
collaborate seamlessly. 

 

For
users looking to utilize AI agents, Inkk.ai can be an advantageous platform. Vewmet Digital Life Pvt Ltd is
expanding its horizons by allowing users to generate customizable AI agents
that can deploy functions as per the user needs. Overall, Ink.ai is set to
become a mighty AI Marketplace giant in the foreseeable future.

<title>Asia’s First Personalized Probiotic, Sova X, Launches for Tailored Gut Health</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/asias-first-personalized-probiotic-sova-x-launches-for-tailored-gut-health</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/asias-first-personalized-probiotic-sova-x-launches-for-tailored-gut-health</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Sova
X provides a microbiome test, expert consultation, and three months of tailored
supplements to optimize digestion, boost metabolism, and balance mood. 

 

New Delhi, 20 November 2024 :
Gut-health start-up Sova Health announces the launch of Sova X, Asia’s first
personalized gut health solution, based on each individual&#039;s unique microbiome.

 

While probiotics are popular for gut health, they
don’t work the same for everyone. That’s because every person’s microbiome—a
collection of trillions of bacteria—is as unique as a fingerprint, influenced
by factors like diet, genetics, immune system, and lifestyle. Sova X bridges
this gap by offering a subscription-based service that uses advanced robotic
compounding technology to create custom probiotic formulations tailored to each
user&#039;s specific gut needs. 

 

“Sova X emerged from the need to move beyond
generic probiotics,” said Tanveer Singh, Co-Founder and
CEO of Sova Health. “Our mission is to provide a truly personalized
approach, empowering individuals to improve their gut health with precise
solutions instead of a one-size-fits-all approach.”

 

Gut health has become increasingly important, with
studies showing that a disrupted microbiome can lead to digestive issues,
weakened immunity, and even mental health challenges. By addressing these
imbalances with tailor-made probiotics, Sova X aims to help individuals regain
balance and improve overall well-being.

 

Furthermore, Max Kushnir, Co-Founder
&amp; Chief Science Officer, Sova Health said “Microbiome testing
revolutionizes personalized health by revealing the unique balance of bacteria
in your body. This insight allows us to create probiotics that meet your
specific needs, enhancing your gut health and overall well-being. Each sachet
is a unique blend crafted just for you, featuring your name to emphasize our
commitment to personalized care, empowering you to take precise control of your
gut health”.

 

Users can unlock unique insights into their gut
health with Sova X’s GMT, covering areas like brain health (neurotransmitter
production), liver health (fatty liver), antibiotic resistance, vitamin
production potential, and migraine causes.


 


 

How Sova X Works
The
journey starts with a Gut Microbiome Test (GMT) delivered to
the user&#039;s home. After submitting the sample, the microbiome is analyzed,
identifying imbalances and missing bacterial strains. From this data, Sova X’s
proprietary robotic compounding system creates a personalized probiotic blend.
The supplements are then custom-manufactured and delivered to the users in the
form of sachets to be consumed daily for a minimum period of three
months. 

 

During the sampling phase, Sova X successfully
built a community of Gut Rebels, including individuals from
various walks of life, such as Indian Rugby Captain Prince Khatri, Holistic
Health Coach Kavita Devgan, Vahdam Teas Founder Bala Sardar, and Dermatologist
Dr. Anupriya Goel. After a successful waitlist launch, Sova X is now open for
everyone to shop here: Sova X 

 

About Sova X
Sova
X is a pioneer in personalized probiotic supplements, offering fully automated,
custom-made probiotic solutions to meet individual health needs. The brand&#039;s
state-of-the-art technology and data-driven approach ensure that each user
receives a formulation tailored specifically to their microbiome.

<title>Ahmedabad Startup My Equation Is Solving India’s Engineering Education Puzzle</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/ahmedabad-startup-my-equation-is-solving-indias-engineering-education-puzzle</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/ahmedabad-startup-my-equation-is-solving-indias-engineering-education-puzzle</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Ahmedabad, Gujarat (India), November 18, 2024: Engineering education in India has long been a
pathway to success, but it has also been criticized for its focus on theory
over practical skills. Given the disconnect between classroom learning and
real-world application, many graduates need help finding their footing in the
job market. That’s where My Equation comes in. 

This Ahmedabad-based SkillTech startup was
formed by Ratik Gupta, an engineer who struggled to find work for himself. He
is a young entrepreneur with a B.Tech in Electronics and Communication
Engineering who founded the company with the purpose of bridging the divide
between academic knowledge and industrial demands. “We saw a clear need for
hands-on, practical training that fits well with what the industry actually
needs,” he says. “We work to prepare students with skills they can use from day
one on the job.”

Why Did Ratik Gupta Start My Equation?

The journey to finding My Equation began in
2022 when Ratik and his team noticed a recurring theme among engineering
graduates – a sense of being unprepared for the realities of the workplace.
This observation led to the creation of a platform that offers industrial
training programs, live virtual labs, and innovative software simulations, all
designed to give students a taste of real-world engineering challenges.

What sets My Equation apart is its approach to
learning. Instead of relying solely on textbooks and lectures, the platform
brings the workshop and laboratory right to the students’ screens. “We believe
in learning by doing,” explains Pranav Chachra, the Chief Marketing Officer.
“We have virtual labs that allow students to experiment, make mistakes, and
learn in a safe environment.”

The company’s vibrant and young mentor pool is
another unique feature. These mentors, often recent graduates themselves, bring
fresh perspectives and relatable experiences to the table. “We have mentors who
speak the language of today’s students,” Kaustuv Mohanty, the Chief Operating
Officer, adds. “They understand the challenges and can offer practical,
up-to-date advice.”

Has My Equation Been Helpful For Engineering?

My Equation’s impact on engineering education
in India has already been felt. The platform makes quality, practical education
available to a diverse variety of students at a reasonable cost. This
affordability, combined with a focus on core engineering topics, is helping to
open up access to industry-relevant skills.

“We invest our time in providing a complete
learning ecosystem,” adds a spokesperson of My Equation. “Starting from live
doubt sessions to career guidance and internship opportunities, we’re with our
students every step of the way.”

The startup’s creative approach has not gone
unnoticed. It has received several awards, including the GUSEC Atal Innovation
of the Year Award and a place in the NVIDIA Inception Program. 

“We’re preparing students for careers,” Ratik
says. That’s the real equation we’re solving.”

My Equation is a go-to choice for engineers
seeking to acquire industrial skills. Plus, this Ahmedabad SkillTech startup is
always coming up with new ideas and ways to improve what it offers. Future
plans include building offline training sites to reach more students and
provide a wider choice of learning experiences.

<title>Vinita Surana Roars into The Lion’s Den: A New Chapter in Startup Investing</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/vinita-surana-roars-into-the-lions-den-a-new-chapter-in-startup-investing</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

 

India,
August 30, 2024: India’s most thrilling business
reality show, “The Lion’s Den,” gains a powerhouse with the arrival of Ms. Vinita Surana on its panel of esteemed
investors, popularly known as the Lions. A formidable force in India’s entrepreneurial
landscape, Vinita brings her wealth of experience as a seasoned investor and
serial entrepreneur to the den.

 

Born into a legacy of entrepreneurship,
Vinita’s journey has been a testament to resilience and an unyielding desire to
forge her path. Navigating a patriarchal business landscape, Vinita faced and
overcame challenges unique to being a woman in a family enterprise. “Being a
woman in a family business is always difficult,” reflects Vinita Surana, the
executive director of Surana Solar Ltd. “It was a blessing in disguise because
I had to prove myself at every point.”

 

This early struggle ignited a fire within
Vinita, propelling her to explore various industries and roles. From marketing
and finance to HR and startups, she gained a comprehensive understanding of
business operations. Vinita’s deep passion for nurturing startups has carved a
niche for her in the investment world, with a philosophy centred on providing
platforms for potential entrepreneurs.

 

Vinita’s investment strategy blends an
analytical approach with gut instinct, focusing on three key factors: the
founder’s vibe, product scalability, and total addressable market. “The number
one is the vibe check of the founder,” she explains. “If it’s a great product
or service and great founder, it’s like a no-brainer.”

 

Her expertise in relationship-building, people
management, and business development has been the cornerstone of her remarkable
success. She prides herself on driving operational excellence and increasing
profit margins in her investments. “My strongest strength is business
development and PR,” Vinita states. “If I believe in something, the whole world
will know about it.”

 

Beyond her enterprising abilities, Vinita
embodies the “abhyasa vairagya” philosophy—giving 100% effort while remaining
detached from the results. This approach has shaped her business acumen and
investment decisions.

 

Joining The Lion’s Den aligns perfectly with
her vision of empowering entrepreneurs and creating platforms for growth —
Vinita’s vast experience and unique perspective promise to add immense value to
the show and its participants. As an example for women in business and
investing, Vinita’s presence is set to inspire a new generation of
entrepreneurs.

 

“Success goes beyond resources—it’s driven by
an insatiable hunger to create meaningful change,” Vinita asserts. “My mission
is to create a win-win ecosystem where potential meets opportunity. When we
empower entrepreneurs, we’re not just building businesses; we’re shaping the
future of our economy.”

 

With Vinita Surana stepping into the den, the
upcoming season promises to be both exhilarating and insightful, potentially
reshaping India’s startup ecosystem.

Segment 1: The Incubator

From
starting off with 100$ in a small cubicle to creating a leading ad-tech and
mar-tech platform; It all began at a very early age for you. Describe the
experience of being a startup founder at a very young age?

Kunal (Co-founder &amp; CGO) and I
started with content monetization, which got us our first paycheck of $100.
This motivated us to do more. With that, we started off by helping brands…
through digital marketing. When that was going well, we met Ishank (Co-founder
&amp; CEO), and he helped propel us with the clientele. With that we got on the
journey of Mobavenue. The journey was amazing, we never thought of creating
such a big company coming from a humble background. It was overwhelming to have
so many clients and various products across our table along with doing
exceptionally well in the industry.

How
has Mobavenue enabled more creative ways to bridge the gap between publishers
and advertisers while still maintaining a privacy-first approach during this
shift?

It was a great challenge for us
because the AdTech industry is ever evolving and very dynamic. You need to be
on top of everything. Privacy has been a major concern of government
institutions and the entire ecosystem. We thought of including contextual
targeting in our Demand Side Platform (DSP). This is where we try to understand
the users, what they are reading from the content, and how we can target the
users. We try to target the content that is being read by the user and place
the advertisement around that content.

As
Mobavenue evolved its solutions to address single and multiple use cases to
build an end- to-end platform for growth and ad-tech, what were the key
challenges that you faced in trying to address client needs from diverse
sectors?

Each sector has different
requirements with respect to acquiring customers through our platform. Every
company has a different problem statement. As we work with enterprises, they
have already acquired the initial set of customers, their purpose of
approaching us is to discover and acquire a new customer base. 

Segment 2: The Accelerator

What
lessons can we learn from Mobavenue’s journey of being bootstrapped and the
ways to achieve profitability at a quick pace?

Finding the right talents,
especially in a lean team, being adaptive to situations, and understanding
finances deeply in terms of revenue and expenses can be helpful for budding
entrepreneurs. We even try to avoid overburdening our cash flows— as we
directly work with clients without any mediators to effectively show our value
proposition.

What’s
the best way to stay grounded as a startup founder if you achieve a lot in very
little time?

We come across a lot of people and
converse with them. When you come across someone who has done greater things in
life than you, it makes you realize that you need to achieve more. I haven’t
reached the peak where I can say that I have done everything. I would say that
you should thrive better and achieve more.

Over the past decade, India&#039;s
startup ecosystem has evolved dynamically, offering fertile ground for
innovation and abundant opportunities for entrepreneurs to thrive and compete
at global level in the years to come.

Stay tuned to the Crafting Bharat
Podcast Series as we bring you these inspirational entrepreneurs for insightful
and candid discussion with Gautam Srinivasan.

Segment 1: The Incubator

How
did your previous stints help you zero in on this new way of enabling consumer
interactions for brands?

I found the passion of spatial
storytelling and the power of spatial depth towards visual discovery at
Microsoft, where I kind of started my career, I was a computer vision fanatic
back then. Kinect is a depth sensor that would sit on top of Xbox and do the
skeleton tracking and some of those early AI and computer vision use cases.
That’s where I saw the power of spatial depth and just to allude to that we all
live in a physical world which has a third dimension, our digital experiences
are flat today on the flat screens that we carry be it a mobile, laptop or
tablet and I could see there’s a huge gap or a digital physical divide, in
terms of how consumers are today consuming content and visual experiences on
digital versus how physical happens.

Anything
that we should look forward to from your moonshot factory called Avataar
Reality Labs?

I think the physical and the digital
reality will not be distinguishable anymore if you were to fast forward to
maybe 5 years from now, we are seeing that already in the pilot R&amp;D POC’s
that we’re doing internally in the Avataar Reality Labs. But the kind of photo
realism and the way we can blend the physical and digital reality today with
devices like Quest 2 by Meta or Vision Pro by Apple. I think it is going to
give superhuman capabilities across everything digital starting from
communications to even just information consumption to productivity in various
different contexts.

Could
you expand on your partnership with AWS and how it helps you scale up and
innovate?

We are focused on a very clear AI
computer vision convergence era and having said that AWS gives us a lot more
capabilities to connect various dots that either remove friction or create
delight for our clients or the end consumers and that’s where I see the
partnership to be very complimentary of a strong win-win for both entities.

Segment 2: The Accelerator

What’s your idea of the perfect product? 

Honestly, the perfect product is
like infinity to me, where you can tend to it and limit it but there’s nothing
called reaching infinity. Similarly, I don’t think there’s a perfect product
that exists in the world. But if I must express my point of view, a perfect
product would be something that is continuously improving with a very clear
utilitarian purpose of either removing existing friction today or driving value
in terms of delight where you are able to do things that you couldn’t do
yesterday.

How
challenging was it to attract the right talent?

I do think that people want a
purpose, they want to be part of a journey that’s value creation from nothing
and if you can spin on the ability for people because it’s a collective journey
as just one founder cannot achieve anything by himself  but it’s a collective team that achieves it.

Everyone
wants to scale quickly but how about staying small till you really understand
the business inside out and scale smartly and sustainably? Your thoughts? 

I think there’s a little bit of
instant gratification that’s creeped into the startup philosophies. I am not
sure if that’s the right approach, I’m not saying that you should spend 10
years. What I mean is you really need to find a true value proposition that’s
sustainable.

The Indian Startup Ecosystem is
having a quantum shift with motivated startup founders bringing forth
exceptional innovation. Startup founders&#039; vision and dedica ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[   


Rajat Deshpande, Co-Founder and CEO of FinBox discusses the company&#039;s
evolution, credit infrastructure, and FinTech industry growth.


A startup founder’s life comes with
layers of challenges, responsibilities, commitments, all-nighters, long
hours,  and more. It can be heartbreaking
when things don&#039;t work out, and rewarding beyond belief when they do. 

The &quot;Crafting
Bharat - A Startup Podcast Series&quot; powered by AWS, and an initiative by NewsReach, in association with VCCircle, unlocks the secrets behind these
successful entrepreneurs’ journeys aiming to equip aspiring entrepreneurs and
business enthusiasts with invaluable insights. The podcast series is hosted by
Gautam Srinivasan, famed for hosting a diverse range of TV and digital
programs, currently consulting editor at CNBC
(India), CNN-News18, Forbes India, and The Economic Times.

In this episode of Crafting Bharat, Gautam speaks to Rajat
Deshpande, Co-Founder and CEO of
FinBox, and a shining star of India’s fintech ecosystem. Here, he talks about
what motivated him to embrace entrepreneurship, and the ways in which credit
infrastructure is changing India’s fintech landscape.

Through the Crafting
Bharat Podcast Series, let’s discover the stories of Indian startup founders’
journey of turning dreams into reality and turning challenges into
opportunities.

Segment 1: The Incubator

They say there is a thin line between genius and insanity.
What made you sure about being on the right track since India’s digital
payments and lending revolution was yet to take off then, there wasn’t much
bureau penetration yet, and none of you were engineers early on.

FinBox was founded twice, once in
2015 as a Personal Finance Management App which didn’t work, so we reworked the
product, launching it again in 2 years in a B2B format which you see now. The
interesting piece was that we got so involved and we learned so much in that
period. These experiences kept building, and we had so much fun along the way
that we weren’t  thinking about whether
it would be a success or not. We were focused on building this, and we knew
once we had built it, it would be great.

Was there ever a situation where if you didn’t secure a client,
the future of Finbox was at stake? Or did the B2B model,  where it’s easier to build something that
customers pay for from a use case perspective, enable a smoother ride which
trained you to sell before you build versus the reverse? 

This first sale was for more than $1
million which we thought was insane. When we received that payment in our bank
account, we were in a state of shock, and we were counting zeros. It’s in that
stage where you feel a huge burden because of the trust people are putting into
your vision, which then makes you worry about what happens if things go wrong.
But then suddenly, there’s a resolution that validates your vision.

Besides generating personalized credit risk profiles with
limited data and fraud detection, which emerging use cases for GenAI are you
most optimistic about in terms of adding value for your company? 

I look at GenAI in two different
ways. One of the most talked about use cases is the customer experience layer
and the second is the operational nature of GenAI in the B2B SaaS space. I am
most excited about the latter, because if you get this right then the way the
software is delivered and consumed changes meaningfully.

Segment 2: The Accelerator

The balance between hustle and process for startup founders.
How do they achieve this to hyperscale effectively?

Every startup founder is trying to
find an answer to this question. I would say that the balance between hustle
and process evolves as the company scales. In the early stage, you are the
aggressor, all you want is hustle. As you grow larger and become a company, you
have a lot to defend, a reputation to protect and customer experience on
various layers, that’s where the process kicks in that you need to set up.

From a product manager to a startup founder. What has this
journey taught you? 

Firstly, the product is not
everything, distribution is equally important. Secondly, have real gumption for
the startup roller coaster ride and lastly, give importance to family support
because they will be there through  thick
and thin. 

India’s startup landscape is expanding rapidly, emerging as a vibrant ecosystem
in the global landscape. And it’s the founders’ vision and commitment that’s
propelling this ecosystem forward.

entrepreneurs for insightful and candid discussions with Gautam Srinivasan.

Chirag
Taneja, Co-Founder and CEO of GoKwik discusses his entrepreneurial journey,
E-Commerce trends, GoKwik&#039;s growth story, and venture capital funding with host
Gautam Srinivasan.

 

There is no one-size-fits-all
formula for startup success, each company’s journey is unique and full of
uncertain challenges. The founders behind these successful startups possess an admirable
spirit of determination, passion and vision to bring change through innovation.


The &quot;Crafting
Bharat - A Startup Podcast Series&quot; powered by AWS, and an initiative by NewsReach, in association with VCCircle, unlocks the secrets behind
these successful entrepreneurs’ journeys aiming to equip aspiring entrepreneurs
and business enthusiasts with invaluable insights. The podcast series is hosted
by Gautam Srinivasan, famed for hosting a diverse range of TV and digital
programs, currently consulting editor at CNBC (India), CNN-News18, Forbes
India, and The Economic Times.

In the dynamic
landscape of India&#039;s startup ecosystem, Chirag Taneja, the Co-Founder and CEO
of GoKwik, stands out as a visionary leader driving innovation and reshaping
the e-commerce sector. In the debut episode of Crafting Bharat, Taneja shared
how he embarked on a challenging entrepreneurial journey that led to the
founding of GoKwik. He also talks about building a remote-first company during
the pandemic and the future of the e-commerce industry with emerging
technologies like GenAI. 

Through the Crafting
Bharat Podcast Series, let’s discover the stories of Indian startup founders’
journey of turning dreams into reality and turning challenges into
opportunities. 

Edited excerpts: 

Segment 1: The Incubator

Which parts of your original thesis of
founding GoKwik panned out and which did not? 

The initial thesis
centered around whether India would embrace direct-to-consumer models, mirroring
the USA rather than China. Another thesis was targeting the untapped
Cash-on-Delivery market globally. Finally, the focus shifted to building a
diverse VC-backed business in India, requiring multiple products to foster D2C
market growth, embracing a vision yet adaptable strategy.

Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AO8ZwWyfakE 

What were the challenges you faced in building
a remote-first company?

GoKwik is a
pandemic-born company. By the time we could even think about whether we were
going to be remote or in-office, we were already 150 people. We had already
crossed the Dunbar Number, the mark where the organization starts to change. I
am still not married to the fact that we must build the company remotely, I am
married to our overall vision with GoKwik.

As a founder how did you manage that
transition from intuition to data-driven decision-making while GoKwik was
exponentially scaling up? How do cloud platforms like AWS make this transition
easier? 

If you see second or
third-time founders, they would have done something and would have figured out
that this is a problem nobody else is solving, for me, I came from that
world and I knew nobody was solving this problem and I didn’t require data to
support that it was purely my gut and starting figuring out what is the right
way to solve this problem.

Segment 2: The Accelerator

You are a big fan of Rahul Dravid. Tell us
about his influence on your leadership approach. 

He has stuck to one
field and played the long game. I have learned how to take long-term calls
which are important for what you’re trying to build and it’s applicable in
almost everything. It is okay to be impatient in the short term but your results
should yield in the long term. 

What’s your view on this conversation that is
happening around work-life balance? 

I am a firm believer
that outcomes matter more than the number of hours you have put in, which helps
us drive the remote-first company. Simply put, if you’re working in India you
shouldn’t be thinking about the work-life balance at the moment
especially as a startup founder, as it is our opportunity to build the
country and we have a huge responsibility on our shoulders in building the country.

How do you stop overthinking and over
complicating and spending bandwidth on things you shouldn’t when starting
up? 

From a simplicity
point of view, I would say that overthinking does not lead to anything. My
view is that if you’re overthinking or if you’re in confusion then act, don’t
overthink. The action will tell you whether it’s working or not working instead
of spending one month thinking or having excessive strategic discussions.

Don&#039;t find customers for your products, find
products for your customers. What is your view on this? 

It is said that all
customers are looking for their problems to be solved rather than buying
our solutions or products. Typically, I would say that always the
pitch or product discovery calls that you do is to discover what is the real
problem you ]]></description>

<title>Revolutionizing Car Ownership: ProRata&amp;apos;s Innovative Co&#45;Ownership Model Makes Premium Cars Accessible to All</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

Bangalore, India - ProRata,
a Bangalore-based start-up, is making waves in the automotive industry with its
pioneering co-ownership model for premium, luxury, and off-roading cars. By
offering a unique approach to car ownership, ProRata is set to transform the
way Indians experience high-end vehicles. 

 

Founded by Mr. Sanjeev Kumar Jain, a serial
entrepreneur with a vision to redefine car ownership, ProRata aims to upgrade
the lifestyle of the middle and upper-middle class by providing an innovative
solution to share the cost and usage of premium cars with nearby residents for
leisure and lifestyle purposes. 

 

How It Works: 

 

ProRata&#039;s co-ownership model divides each premium
car into 12 tickets of ownership, with each ticket representing 8.33%
ownership. Co-owners have the opportunity to purchase up to three tickets,
granting them access to the car for 30 days per ticket per year over a period
of five years. This user-friendly model allows owners to book their usage days
through a convenient mobile app, ensuring flexibility and convenience. The cars
are delivered with a full tank of fuel by a professional driver and are picked
up after use, providing a seamless experience for all co-owners. After five
years, the car is sold through a bidding process in the ProRata app, and the
resale value is distributed back to its respective co-owners. 

 

Use Cases: 

ProRata’s
model caters to two strong use cases: capacity and status, as mentioned by
Sanjeev Jain, the founder of ProRata, in the Shark Tank season 3 episode. He
also expressed three more use cases in a podcast with Ayushman pandita. First
being urban professionals visiting their hometowns within an ideal 200–400 km
radius; second being NRIs visiting India once or twice in a year; the third
being off-roading and sports car enthusiasts.

 

Services Offered and Revenue
Model: 

The ProRata revenue model consists of an annual
maintenance charge (AMC) per ticket per year, which includes a comprehensive
package of car co-ownership, covering car pick-up and drop-off service,
insurance premiums and claims, periodic service and maintenance, and cost
allocation to co-owners, ensuring fair usage of the vehicle. 

 

Highest-Selling Cars: 

Based on their data, ProRata&#039;s highest-selling cars
for the off-roading segment includes Mahindra Thar, Jeep Wrangler, and Land
Rover Defender. For the seven-seater segment, the fastest-selling cars are the
Mahindra XUV700, Toyota Innova Hycross, and Toyota Fortuner. For experiencing
luxury, the Mercedes GLC, Audi Q5, BMW X5, and Jaguar F-PACE are in high
demand, while the Mini Cooper, Porsche 911, and BMW Z4 groups are popular among
sports car enthusiasts. 

 

Shark Tank Funding: ProRata&#039;s
appearance on Shark Tank India S3 marked a significant validation of its
innovative idea by the sharks Anupam Mittal and Piyush Bansal, who recognized
the potential in the founder&#039;s vision of the future of car co-ownership. Their
expertise will benefit the company to grow exponentially and will help create a
completely new category altogether. 

 

Future Plans: With the
support of Anupam Mittal and Piyush Bansal, ProRata plans to expand its
operations in Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Chandigarh, Pune,
Jaipur, Ahmedabad, and Surat, introduce more premium car models, and enhance
its mobile app for a better user experience. With innovative solutions, a customer-centric
approach, and strong investor backing, ProRata is poised to upgrade the
lifestyle of millions of Indians.
