Indian deep-tech startup Primebook, known for its Android-based laptops and proprietary operating system PrimeOS, has raised an additional USD 2,50,000 (~INR 2.23 crore) in a mix of primary and secondary shares from Ekamya Capital, extending its USD 2 million (~INR 18 crore) Pre-Series A round completed earlier this year at a USD 15 million (~INR 133.8 crore) valuation.
Primebook’s latest funding will power the company’s next phase of product and ecosystem development, centred on enhancing its AI-driven operating system, deepening cloud computing integration, and broadening brand accessibility across India’s rapidly digitising youth demographic.
Driving AI and Cloud-PC Innovation
Primebook plans to allocate the fresh capital primarily towards strengthening its AI and Cloud PC infrastructure, signalling its intent to move beyond affordable hardware into software intelligence and ecosystem-level innovation.
The company’s PrimeOS—a customised Android-based operating system designed for education and productivity—already provides users with a desktop-like interface, multi-window multitasking, and native Android app compatibility. The system also supports AI-powered features such as contextual global search and a “Companion Mode” assistant designed to anticipate user needs and simplify task management.
Upcoming R&D investments will focus on:
- Enhancing contextual AI to deliver screen-aware assistance capable of performing routine user actions.
- Expanding the Prime X Cloud PC environment, enabling seamless switching between local and cloud workspaces.
- Investing in AI talent and data security frameworks to strengthen the foundation of PrimeOS as a scalable, secure platform.
These developments underscore Primebook’s ambition to evolve PrimeOS from an operating system into a future-ready computing ecosystem, integrating edge AI and cloud computing for millions of learners and first-time laptop users.
Expanding Access and Brand Reach
In parallel with its technical initiatives, Primebook is intensifying its retail and brand-building efforts. The company is working to expand its offline retail presence and service infrastructure to improve after-sales accessibility, especially in Tier-II and Tier-III cities. New user education and awareness programs will also focus on responsible AI usage, data privacy, and leveraging PrimeOS’s unique capabilities.
The Delhi-based company’s co-founders, Aman Verma (COO) and Chitranshu Mahant (CEO), emphasize that their mission transcends affordability—Primebook aims to redefine digital ownership for young Indians.
“Our next priority is to transition PrimeOS into a future-ready, robust ecosystem—one that doesn’t just power laptops but empowers users,” said Mahant. “We’re building technology that adapts to individuals, not the other way around.”
Verma added that beyond the technological leap, the company seeks to embody “the spirit, ambition, and creativity of young India,” with a focus on personalised and inclusive computing experiences.
Investor Endorsement and Market Outlook
Ekamya Capital’s continued backing reinforces growing investor confidence in Primebook’s potential to reshape the high price-to-performance computing segment in India.
Gaurav Kapoor, Founder and Managing Partner at Ekamya Capital, highlighted Primebook’s differentiated positioning:
“Primebook is building India’s first computing ecosystem. As personal computing evolves beyond traditional paradigms, PrimeOS stands as an ambitious step toward making laptops more accessible, flexible, and efficient for learners and doers alike.”
The endorsement comes at a time when India’s affordable laptop and education-tech markets are experiencing a surge, driven by hybrid learning and government initiatives promoting digital inclusion. By blending cost-effective hardware, AI innovation, and cloud computing, Primebook positions itself as a domestic alternative to global incumbents—potentially appealing to the nation’s vast base of first-time digital users.
A Vision for Digital Independence
Founded in 2018, Primebook’s guiding philosophy—“Built for Young India”—reflects its intent to democratize access to smart computing. By merging functional hardware with advanced AI and cloud-backed software, the company seeks to enable students and professionals to move from digital consumption to creation, fostering a generation of digitally independent users.
With this latest funding milestone, Primebook’s trajectory signals more than just startup growth; it reflects a broader shift toward localized innovation in personal computing—one that could redefine how India’s next generation learns, works, and connects in the digital age.
