Kgpian-led Startup Bags Funding for Restaurant Digitization Operations
IITKGP Foundation
Explorex, a restaurant-focused full stack SaaS startup, co-founded by Kgpians Mainak Sarkar and Pritam Khan has received $ 5 million as seed funding for their growth roadmap. The Y Combinator-backed startup, founded in 2020, will deploy the funding to expand its presence in Mumbai and New Delhi and product development.
The funding came from Super Angel’s Taher Savliwala, Twitch cofounder Kevin Lin, Fitbit CEO James Park, Oura’s Harpreet Rai, and Relationship hero cofounder Liron Shapira. The startup had raised $1.5 million six months back in pre-seed funding from a clutch of investors.
Speaking on the announcement, Explorex’s chief executive officer (CEO) and cofounder Mainak Sarkar said, “Our ecosystem solution is not only helping restaurant owners make more money, but also enabling them to provide their staff with a much better workplace experience as well as providing their customers with an enhanced dining experience.”
