Sold startup for ₹416 Cr 🤑

Kishan Bagaria, a high school dropout from a small town in Assam, built Texts in 2020 –
an app that connects all your messaging platforms in one place.

He made the prototype in just one week,
raised $1M soon after,
and then got a ₹416 Cr exit when WordPress’s parent company Automattic acquired it.

No VC hype. No IIT-IIM tag.
Just one real problem – solved really well.

Startups aren’t always about billion-dollar markets.
Sometimes, one sharp solution is all you need.

Tag someone building their side project.
