Primebook raises $250K extension round from Ekamya Capital

Android laptop brand Primebook has raised an additional $250K in a mix of primary and secondary shares from Ekamya Capital, following its $2 million pre-Series A round in April this year at a valuation of $15 million.

The company said in a press release that the fresh funds will be used to advance its proprietary operating system, PrimeOS, and strengthen its AI and Cloud PC infrastructure, while also reinforcing brand trust and improving consumer accessibility across India.

Co-founded in 2018 by Aman Verma and Chitranshu Mahant, Primebook combines hardware innovation with software intelligence to deliver smart, affordable, student-centric laptops powered by its Android-based operating system, PrimeOS.

The Delhi-based company says PrimeOS is designed specifically for learners and students participating in blended online education programs, making it easier for them to understand and use. The laptop supports Android apps, enables seamless switching between applications, and offers a familiar interface for anyone accustomed to Android.

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.

According to Primebook, its entire ecosystem, including the cloud integration, AI-powered capabilities, and productivity tools forge a new path for how youth today learn, create, and work. As it combines R&D focus with scalable innovation and cost-effectiveness, it aims to expand the definitions of modern computing.
