The newly-launched venture by Goteti, a consumer tech veteran, plans to use the capital to expand operations and invest in tech capabilities.
The company has also developed a travel platform within the app to allow users to redeem their coins for hotel and flight bookings quickly.

We are privileged to partner with this team,” Matrix Partners India Managing Director Vikram Vaidyanathan said.
