The future of Indian storytelling lies in its regions. Honoured to be associated with @STAGEdotin, a platform building a true home for authentic regional voices. This is more than content, it’s culture, identity, and pride. Onwards to a new era of storytelling. 🌍🎥

Starting 2026 with a BANG! 💥 As they say in our heartland: "Re mittar, eb toh katti dhuuma uthega!" 🌪️ My heart is full today as I announce that the powerhouse of acting, the true son of the soil, @RandeepHooda, has come on board as the Brand Ambassador for @STAGEdotin 🤝🎬 For years, we have been relentlessly working to upgrade the canvas of regional cinema. We dreamt of a time when regional content would stand tall with global dignity. Today, I can proudly say that the Golden Era - the Amrit Kaal of regional cinema is finally here. We built this revolution brick by brick. And now, to add his immense strength to this movement, Randeep has joined our mission. Looking back, 2025 was a year of deep realisations and deeper value delivery. We unlocked new growth levers, but our biggest victory was cracking the highest watch retention in our history. We have a Retention Playbook in place that allows us to command engagement numbers competing with global giants like Netflix. We didn't just build an app; we built a habit. And this milestone isn't ours alone. We’re grateful to artists & creators for trusting us with their art. STAGE team, for their relentless passion that built this retention machine. Grateful to our investors for believing in the power of Bharat & backing a vision that many thought was "too niche". Today, it feels surreal that two icons - @Neeraj_chopra1 and @RandeepHooda - who represent the best of India for the world - chose to back STAGE - different fields, one clear goal: Entertainment for India’s regional cultures. 🎬

Architects of Innovation at #iDay2025 Building a Robust India From regional pride to AI productivity, this panel showcased what it truly means to build for Bharat. @rajeshsawhney , panel chair, reminded us that 30% of Microsoft’s code is now AI-written — a clear sign that India must harness this shift, not fear it. @HarshMTripathi of Stage spoke of innovation rooted in identity, creating space for every Indian to take pride in their culture. @ashishjhina of Jumbotail highlighted how quick commerce reflects a consumer mindset shift — driven by working women, convenience, and variety. @sahlawat1 from Botlab Dynamics made it clear: India is innovating, but not yet leading globally. It’s time to close that gap. This wasn’t just a conversation — it was a call to build with urgency, empathy, and scale. #iDay2025 #InnovationInIndia #StartupIndia #TechForBharat #QuickCommerce #ArchitectsOfInnovation #iDay25 #IndiaInternetDay2025 #IndiaInternetDay #TiE #TiEDelhiNCR #India2030 #DigitalLeadership #TechSuperpower #FutureOfBusiness #shapingtomorrow

At Blume, we were investing in deeptech before “deeptech” was even a term, backing exceptional founders building the future from the ground up—hardware, robotics, climate, space, health, and more—India-first, global in ambition. 🚀 🌎 This was true in our inaugural fund, when everyone else wondered if Indian robotics/manufacturing companies can ever work, and it is true today as we invest from our Fund IV, when Indian deeptech companies are breaking out. Here's a look at our portcos, building from atoms to bytes! 🤖 Automation & Robotics @GoGreyOrange (Fund I vintage): Pioneered warehouse automation and robotics at a global scale @ati_motors (Fund III): Building autonomous electric vehicles for industrial logistics—designed in India, deployed worldwide @NiqoRobotics (Fund III): AI-driven robotic sprayers that enable precision farming, one pixel at a time FloMobility (Discovery): Micromobility robots that rethink how we move in cities 🛠 Advanced Manufacturing @etherealmachine (Fund III): Making 5D hybrid manufacturing machines—merging subtractive and additive in one CNC platform Euler Motors (Fund III): Electric commercial vehicles manufactured for Indian roads Matter (Discovery): Building the next-gen electric powertrain and EV platform, ground-up 🌌 Space Tech @PixxelSpace (Fund III): Launching a constellation of hyperspectral satellites for climate, agriculture, and disaster insights TakeMe2Space (Discovery): Building access and infrastructure for India’s commercial space ambitions @DhruvaSpace (Discovery): Full-stack space infrastructure—from satellite platforms to launch services 🫀 Health Tech @tricoghealth (Fund II): Early cardiac diagnosis powered by AI—saving lives at scale across India and beyond @UltrahumanHQ (Fund III): Advanced biosensors and wearables that help decode and elevate human performance 🌱 Climatetech @carbonsolu (Fund I): Leading global carbon capture tech—decarbonizing heavy industries @vecmocon (Fund IV): Battery intelligence software that powers the EV revolution India’s deeptech decade is just getting started—and we’re proud to be backing the builders. @Bkartred @AshishFafadia @sajithpai @sanjaynath @arpiit @riashroff @saritaraichu @mehtaalok @mitul_am @SeekingN0rth @DeepikaDakuda @gauthamsiv @vikramg05 @venkatesh__modi

Big news! We’ve raised $12.5M in Series B funding, led by @GoodwaterCap & @BlumeVentures — including $2.5m worth secondaries for some angel investors! BUT, this isn’t about money. It is a validation that India’s regional cultures deserve to shine. It is about envisioning a world where everyone is proud of their cultural identity. with 1 app 3 cultures 20 mn users 4.4 mn paying households & 180 cr in ARR How did we get here?

Honored to be part of 'Adbhut India' by @PeoplePlusAI ! Thanks to @tanujb and @NandanNilekani for setting the tone for India as the AI use-case capital. Stay tuned for more! #AIforGood #MakingIndiaAdbhut #JanKiBaat #STAGE #InclusiveInnovation

The only startup in India on who's board I preside & it's an honour. @STAGEdotin is revolutionising regional OTT play! From scratch @vinaykrsinghal @shashank_WF Praveen Harsh Bhai🚀🚀

It has been such a pleasure building in partnership with amazing people at @BlumeVentures. In one of his conversations @BKartRed once said, all he wants is to be part of building a few "legendary" companies through all his work at Blume - hope to be one of those 🙂🧿

Every once in a while you get a growth curve that truly fits the hockey-stick metaphor. @STAGEdotin over the past year has been on a tear. 8x subs growth since our late'22 Series A round, and 20x rev growth since then. @vinaykrsinghal was kind enough to agree to my request to share this subs curve online. It is an inspiration for every founder building for Bharat who has to answer questions around market size, whether Bharat will pay?🤦🏽‍♂️ It has been a privilege for us at @blumeventures to partner with them, and learn from them. A big learning for me has been that the audience for STAGE cuts across all socio-economic classes incl the well-heeled. Cultural products truly have a universal appeal.

Language is about identity, and not class.

“Language is not just about access, it’s about identity.” 1.2 million paid users, profitable in Haryanvi, and extremely happy customers. — Harsh Mani Tripathi @STAGEdotin

STAGE Haryanvi has become profitable in Mar'24 with the highest revenue ever in a single month. 🧿 We generated more in free cash from Haryanvi in Mar'24 than we did in total revenue as a company in Apr'23. 🚀 Next target: Rajasthani profitability by the end of the year!

1m total paying subscribers at STAGE now. 🧿 2years, 11months and 7 days. Let's see where 2024 ends. Many more to go. #BoliyonKiKranti
