Primebook India, an Android laptop brand, has raised an additional $250K in a mix of primary and secondary shares from Ekamya Capital, following its $2 million pre-Series A funding round in April 2025 at a valuation of $15 million.
The fresh funds raised will be used to advance its proprietary operating system, PrimeOS, and enhance its AI and Cloud PC infrastructure, while reinforcing brand trust and consumer accessibility across India.
Primebook will also invest in AI R&D, talent, data security frameworks, expand its offline retail footprint, enhance its after-sales and service infrastructure, and launch user education and awareness programmes.
Founded in 2018 by Chitranshu Mahant and Aman Verma, Primebook offers affordable, smart laptops to students, especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities in India.
PrimeOS offers a desktop-like experience with multi-window multitasking, native Android app support, keymapping to translate touch gestures into keyboard actions for touch-intensive apps, Cloud PC capability, an AI assistant (Companion Mode), AI-powered global search, and more.
Primebook combines hardware innovation with software intelligence to deliver smart, affordable, student-centric laptops powered by its Android-based operating system, PrimeOS.
The company plans to enhance the current screen-aware contextual AI and build a foundational AI layer capable of performing routine actions for users, and continue to deepen Prime X Cloud PC integration, allowing seamless handoff between local and cloud environments.
The company also plans to launch user education and awareness programmes around PrimeOS features and responsible AI use, data privacy, etc.
Chitranshu Mahant, Co-founder & CEO of Primebook, said, “This funding rounds out our commitment to helping every young Indian access smart, secure, and cost-effective computing devices. Our next priority is to transition PrimeOS into a future-ready, robust ecosystem. The one that doesn’t just power laptops but empowers users.
