The startup claims to have served over 25,000 students and aims to enroll 100,000 students by 2024.

According to the company, it reported revenues of INR 26.90 crore for FY 2021-22, which grew to INR 63.76 crore in FY 2022-23 and further increased to INR 65.81 crore in FY 2023-24.

User Data Storage Startup Medront Raises INR 1.06 Cr Funding

Medront, a user data storage startup, has secured INR 1.06 crore in a pre-seed funding round led by Inflection Point Ventures.

The funds will fuel product development, growth initiatives, and user acquisition, alongside onboarding DAAS clients.

Founded in 2023 by Nitesh Singh and Saurav Suman, Medront Datalabs is revolutionising personal data control through innovative data pods, offering an alternative to tech giants' monopolies. The startup claims to have attracted over 20,000 users and partnered with 20 brands.
