February 4, 2024, will forever be a defining date for Hoora as we proudly marked our achievement at the 10th Edition of The Ten Minute Million (TTMM) held during E-Summit’24 at IIT Bombay. Competing in a high-stakes pitch before an audience of over 3,000 and a panel of 16 esteemed investors, Hoora successfully secured 24 lakhs in funding with an additional commitment of 3.15 crore—a feat that reflects not only our product’s potential but also the relentless efforts of our entire team.
A Platform of Ingenuity and Innovation
Hosted by IIT Bombay’s Entrepreneurship Cell, the E-Summit is one of India’s premier platforms that brings together founders, industry leaders, and aspiring entrepreneurs. It fosters the spirit of innovation, entrepreneurship, and community building by creating an environment where startups can thrive.
Our journey in TTMM began with careful preparation, which culminated in a 10-minute pitch that grabbed the attention of renowned investors like Ajeet Khurana, Pranav Khanna, and Sachin Tagra. The spotlight of the summit provided us with an invaluable platform to demonstrate the impact Hoora can make, and the overwhelming response we received further validates our vision.
Securing Funding & Building Partnerships
The 24-lakh rupees in funding and additional 3.15-crore commitment serve as more than just financial milestones. They are a reflection of the trust and belief investors have in Hoora’s mission and growth potential. Our success at this event is not only a triumph for us but a message to future investors, partners, and customers—Hoora is on a trajectory for growth and impact.
This achievement further motivates us to push our boundaries and continue innovating. The validation from top industry experts has propelled us into the next phase of our journey, where we aim to scale our operations, expand our reach, and make an even bigger impact in the markets we serve.
The Importance of E-Summit’24 for Entrepreneurs
E-Summit’24 wasn’t just about winning investment; it was an experience rich with learning and networking. From insightful workshops on Neuromarketing, AI & ML, to mentorship opportunities with startup veterans and the networking arena buzzing with industry stalwarts, every aspect of the summit contributed to our growth.
We were also thrilled to attend sessions by Bhavish Aggarwal (Founder, Ola Cabs), Rajat Sharma (Chairman, India TV), and other thought leaders, which offered insights into the future of business, leadership, and technology. Their advice will guide our strategic decisions as we navigate our next steps.
A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Supporters
We believe in the power of community, and our success at TTMM wouldn’t have been possible without the encouragement from our supporters, team members, and advisors. This achievement is as much yours as it is ours.
As we continue our journey post-E-Summit, we are more committed than ever to fulfilling our mission. The investment we have secured will fuel our vision to take Hoora to new heights and empower us to create lasting value.
