WE ARE OPEN TO INVESTOR CONVERSATIONS

Building India's most trusted global classifieds and commerce platform — one honest step at a time.

We are K Vani and K Bhanu Prakash, founders of Adukoo^™, based in Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh - 517002. We have built and launched a working global Ad-posting platform out of a small Tier-3 town — and we are now opening it up to patient, mission-aligned investors who share our long-term outlook.

Why our business model is unique.

OLX, Quikr, Facebook Marketplace are each one slice. Adukoo combines five honest revenue streams under one identity — and we plan to roll them out one at a time, only when each previous layer is profitable.

Ad revenue (live now)

Boost listings, premium Digital Store subscriptions, and sponsored placements — the foundation we are building first.

Govt & corporate advertising (year 2)

Trusted ad channel for state and central government schemes, corporate brand campaigns, NGO awareness drives.

Pay-via-Adukoo UPI network (year 2-3)

Cashback-driven payment network at small shops. Customer wins, shop wins, Adukoo earns a small fair share.

Curated brand commerce (year 3)

Selected branded products only — brand sets the commission, we accept their number, no race-to-the-bottom.

Adukoo Capital (year 4-5)

Micro-loans to salaried users and small businesses we already know — using our own transaction data for credit scoring.

India first, then the world. We will earn the right to expand globally only after we have built a deeply loved platform inside India. No leapfrogging.

Why we need funding — and how we will use it.

We are not raising for vanity growth. We are raising to do six specific things, in order. Every rupee has a job.

1. Set up the legal entity

Incorporate Adukoo Tech Pvt. Ltd. as a private limited company, secure GST + MSME registrations, IP filings (trademark already secured).

2. Hire the right people

Build a small, capable team of engineers, ground operators, and customer-support agents — with a strong preference for hiring from Tier-3 India to keep costs low without compromising quality.

3. Build the brand

Multi-language marketing in India, anti-imitation awareness campaigns, app store optimisation, content + social presence, public trust.

4. Stabilise infrastructure

Scale our cloud infrastructure, move from base64 image storage to proper object storage (S3/R2), add CDN, harden security.

5. Activate the next revenue layers

Build the UPI Pay-via-Adukoo network, the government & corporate advertising portal, and the curated brand commerce module — one at a time, in order.

6. Pilot warehousing & lending

Small fulfilment pilots in 5 Tier-2 cities. Adukoo Capital lending pilot only after we have at least 12 months of transaction data.

Our long-term funding plan: ₹5,000 Cr over 8–10 years, in honest tranches.

We do not need ₹5,000 Cr today. Asking for that lump sum would be irresponsible. We will raise it in 5 tranches — each one only after we have proven the previous milestone. Patient investors who commit early can participate in later tranches at agreed terms.

Seed₹20 Cr ($2.5M)· Year 0-1

Legal entity, founding team of ~25 people, brand awareness in India, finish UPI integration, hit 100K active users.

Series A₹150 Cr ($18M)· Year 2

Scale ground operations across South India, launch govt-ads portal, pilot first 5 warehouses, reach 1M users + first ₹10 Cr ARR.

Series B₹500 Cr ($60M)· Year 3-4

Pan-India expansion, brand commerce module, MENA + SE Asia entry, EBITDA-positive by year 4-5.

Series C₹1,500 Cr ($180M)· Year 5-6

Adukoo Capital lending pilot at scale, full international rollout, IPO preparation begins.

Series D / Pre-IPO₹2,830 Cr ($340M)· Year 7-8

Final pre-IPO push, deep global expansion, full lending book, anchor IPO investors.

Honest commitment from us: We will never raise more than we can responsibly deploy in 18 months. We will publish quarterly metrics to all investors. Founders will take no secondary exits before Series C. We are in this for 10 years minimum.
