Start-ups secure a cumulative total of INR 45 lakh in investments in the latest episode of The Vault
New Delhi, October 24, 2016: With more than INR 3 crore already invested into promising ventures in just two episodes, the funding windfall on The Vault, a one-of-its-kind reality show in India, shows no signs of abating! The latest episode of the show, aired on television recently, saw the entrepreneurial dreams of two start-ups – Ambee and Foodiebaba – fulfilled with a cumulative investment of INR 45 lakh by investors on the show.
Bangalore-based Ambee, a Unique Gadget to protect air pollution, secured an investment of INR 25 lakh from Mohit Goel, CEO – Omaxe Limited, in exchange of 15% equity. On the other hand, Foodiebaba, a desserts and snacks delivery service from New Delhi, managed to get a sweet deal by securing INR 20 lakh in exchange of 26% equity from Vivek Bhargava, CEO – iProspect India. The third start-up featuring on the show, BookMyChotu, a unique domestic help service, didn’t manage to cinch any offers, but got valuable advice from the investors on the show.
