The Elevar Equity-led investment round also saw the participation from TPG Rise (The Rise Fund). 
With this investment, The Better India aims to launch a curated marketplace that will benefit micro, small and medium enterprises, self-help groups and NGOs who make great products but lack access to consumer markets. 
The Better India was founded by Dhimant Parekh and Anuradha Kedia, husband-wife duo and graduates from the Indian School of Business, as an online blog in 2008. The platform throws the spotlight on c, angemakers, solutions and innovations across the country.
