India Builds

"You don't need to know how it's going to happen. You just need to believe that it will. The universe loves a stubborn heart that refuses to give up hope" - Shri Krishna’s quote from Bhagavad Gita Today, EloElo group has raised $80 Mn in our Series C, led by Hornbill Capital and NBCUniversal , with MIT Investment Management Company, Play Ventures, Kalaari Capital, WaterBridge Ventures & Griffin also doubling down in the round 🚀🚀 In hindsight, if I could send one message to the version of me who started this in 2020, it wouldn’t be about strategy. It would be: stay in the game, keep at it, this is like playing chess not checkers. Because building a company isn’t won by the smartest player or the one who runs the fastest lap. It’s won by the last one standing. It is like a game or a backyard ultra marathon where the winner is the one who just refuses to quit We stood through pre-revenue, when belief was our only asset. We stood through first revenue, which taught us more than any deck ever did. We stood through scaling, which humbled us. And we’re standing now through scaling profitably, which is the level that separates enduring companies from the rest . Each level cost something. Sleep. Certainty. A little more grey hair every year 😅 Nobody tells you that being a founder is mostly about choosing which pain is worth it, and then carrying it without letting the team see the weight. And I didn’t carry it alone. To our investors: you backed an idea before it had numbers, and you backed it again when it did. To my leaders: half of the battle is won by just showing up, and you didnt just show up - you owned outcomes To my team: you built every version of this company and deserve all the success! Where we stand today: $130 Mn raised to date. Over 40 million users monthly active on our platforms. Revenue up multifold, with unit economics that are profitable. A new drama on Story TV App (By EloElo group) every three hours. To Hornbill Capital, NBCUniversal - Thank you for backing our vision 🩷 To all our existing investors: thank you for standing with us. Apna time aayega, we said in 2020. Apna time aa gaya 🔥
