With this investment, we are looking to double our revenue, introduce newer products and grow our customer base further.
I am also extremely thankful to my parents for backing me up in my first venture with funds – when I came back after completing my Bachelors and Masters in the USA. They literally bet all their life savings on my venture. I am happy – that I have been able to give them an exit and good returns.
