Teen Founder Sells Dublieu in Reported ₹150 Million Exit
Vedant Kumar started Dublieu when he was a teenager.
He wanted to help students find activities and opportunities outside their regular schoolwork.
He first got the idea because he had trouble finding trusted activities for his own student portfolio.
Dublieu grew into a platform with 100,000 registered students, according to the article.
It also worked with schools and student groups around India.
A private equity fund reportedly bought the company for ₹150 million in cash.
The deal transfers Dublieu’s technology, user data and school network to the fund.
Kumar plans to step away from running Dublieu and leave college.
He says he will work full-time on a new AI startup.
Vedant Kumar, 19, founded student opportunity platform Dublieu in 2023, when he was 15.
The company reportedly reached 100,000 registered students, with four million organic impressions and 20,000 average daily visitors.
Dublieu built a nationwide student team of more than 1,500 teens and partnered with 200 educational institutions.
A reported ₹150 million all-cash acquisition transfers Dublieu’s technology, user data and school distribution network to a private equity fund.
Kumar plans to leave college and pursue a stealth AI startup focused on world simulation and AI companionship.
