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

The company will use the money raised to further its proprietary operating system, PrimeOS, and to enhance its AI and Cloud PC infrastructure. It also intends to invest in efforts that reinforce brand trust and improve accessibility for consumers across India.

Primebook was founded in 2018 by Aman Verma and Chitranshu Mahant and builds Android-based laptops with a focus on students. The PrimeOS operating system provides a desktop-style experience, though retains much of the familiarity of Android. It offers multiwindow multitasking, support for 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 participating in blended online education programs. The startup believes that 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 comes eight months after Primebook's April 2025 round led by Inflection Point Ventures, Auxano Capital and NexG Devices. Angel investors for that round included EaseMyTrip cofounder Rikant Pittie and Bhavesh Gupta.

Chitranshu Mahant, Co-founder & CEO of Primebook says, “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, elaborated, “Of course, by using AI and cloud innovation, we try to create more customized, engaging, and relevant experiences for our users. But beyond technology, we want Primebook to stand for something meaningful-a brand reflecting the spirit, ambition, and creativity of young India. Primebook is a movement in digital freedom for the youth-a movement not only in terms of access but in ownership of their digital future".
