We are super excited to announce that we, at AppsForBharat, have raised a Series B round, led by The Fundamentum Partnership, a venture capital firm co-founded by Nandan Nilekani, Sanjeev Aggarwal, and Ashish Kumar.
We are thrilled to also welcome Susquehanna Asia Venture Capital as new investors. We are grateful for the unwavering support of our existing investors, Elevation Capital, Peak XV Partners, and Mirae Asset Venture Investments (India).
We will continue to scale our Sri Mandir app’s India and international operations, onboard new temples, launch new services, and build a comprehensive tech stack for the devotional ecosystem. We are committed to building the most trusted destination that serves the needs of millions of devotees in India and abroad, providing them the access they always wanted.
AppsForBharat is all about the amazing people who are building it brick by brick - onwards and upwards from here!
What an incredible evening! A quick message to Prashant Sachan turned into an amazing builder’s mixer. Huge thanks to Prashant, @Umesh, @Dev, and the entire AppsForBharat team for hosting us at their office. We had an incredible mix of builders, from early-stage startups to most people’s favorite startup like Zepto and everything in between.
Special shoutout to our very own Vineet V. George for working closely with the A4B team to bring this event to life—and for making sure we had pani puris and all the amazing chaats (the real highlight of the evening) 😬
Here’s to many more mixers🌟
