Shark Tank India-featured Primebook raises $250,000 from Ekamya Capital

Shark Tank India-featured Primebook has raised an additional $250,000 from Ekamya Capital in a mix of primary and secondary share sales. This comes months after the startup secured $2 million in a pre-Series A round in April at a valuation of $15 million.

The startup will use the funds to advance its proprietary operating system PrimeOS and to strengthen its AI and Cloud PC infrastructure. It also plans to invest in efforts that reinforce brand trust and improve accessibility for consumers across India.

Founded in 2018 by Aman Verma and Chitranshu Mahant, Primebook builds Android based laptops designed for students. Its PrimeOS operating system offers a desktop style experience while keeping the familiarity of Android. The interface supports multiwindow multitasking, native Android apps, keymapping, cloud PC capability, an AI assistant in Companion Mode and AI powered universal search.

Primebook said its focus is to make learning and productivity simpler for young users who participate in blended online education programs. The startup believes its integrated ecosystem of hardware, cloud services, AI features and productivity tools can shape a new approach to modern computing for students.

The latest investment follows Primebook’s April 2025 round led by Inflection Point Ventures, Auxano Capital and NexG Devices. Angel investors included EaseMyTrip cofounder Rikant Pittie and Bhavesh Gupta.

Chitranshu Mahant, Co-founder & CEO of Primebook, said, “This funding rounds out our commitment to helping every young Indian access smart, secure, and cost-effective computing devices. Our next priority is to transition PrimeOS into a future-ready, robust ecosystem. The one that doesn’t just power laptops but empowers users. We’re working towards a world where technology adapts to individuals, not the other way around. A world where every student, creator, and professional can access the same quality of digital opportunity, regardless of geography or background. We are grateful to Ekamya VC for aligning with us on the same vision and supporting our next phase of innovation and growth.”

Aman Verma, Co-founder & COO of Primebook, said, “Of course, by using AI and cloud innovation, we aim to craft more personalised, engaging, and relevant experiences for our users. But beyond technology, we want Primebook to stand for something meaningful, a brand that reflects the spirit, ambition, and creativity of young India. Primebook represents a shift in digital independence for the youth, not just in terms of accessibility, but in ownership of their digital future.”
