The round also saw the participation of Point OneCapital, Namma Capital and Real Time Angel Fund, along with creative agency Talented. “We are thrilled to have such a high-quality set of investors bullish about the opportunity at hand," Rao and Sudan said. “The fundraising process becomes an experience full of value-adds when you’re sitting across the table with seasoned angel investors and successful entrepreneurs like the ones we’re dealing with, many of whom we consider our friends. This round of capital infusion directly goes towards accelerating our global team expansion and operations rapidly."
Punt Partners’ immediate focus will be to close some strategic partnerships. The company aims to tap into the $100 billion mar-tech opportunity that the promoters think is not being correctly addressed.
