Funding signals
We hold evidence classes, not events. There is no amount and no date here because we do not have them, and a class says only where the company was named. 3,177 of the 34,017 records in Mumbai carry a signal of some class.

Maharashtra
Startup India records the district. We do not have a street address for this company, and we will not invent one.
No point is drawn, because we do not have one.
Geocode confidence: medium
The neighbourhood
This record carries no locality line, so the district is the finest ring we can place it in.
What we do not know
- no website on file
- no incorporation date
- no address beyond the district
We have no liveness signal for any company on this site: no filings feed, no revenue, no check that the website still resolves. A record existing here means a record exists, not that a business is trading.
Is this your company?
