TrueFan is a platform that aspires to connect fans to their favourite celebrities in the most personal and meaningful ways. It caters to the everyday Indian audience who’ve grown up enacting dialogues from Bollywood movies, copied hairdos of their beloved ‘heroes’ & ‘heroines’ or turned into bathroom-singers with their favourite love songs. It allows these very ‘true fans’ to interact with their dream stars at a price that does not hit the pocket.
The recently launched startup has secured US$ 4.3 million in funding from prominent investors, Ronnie Screwvala, Mayfield India and Saama Capital.
Founded by Nimish Goel, Nevaid Aggarwal, and Devender Bindal in January 2020, TrueFan has roped in some of the biggest Bollywood celebrities namely Kareena Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan, Tiger Shroff and Ranveer Singh to create memorable celebrity-fan interactive experiences.
