Digital Refresh Networks was founded in 2011 by former Hungama executive Ravi Dubey and former brand manager at Mahindra & Mahindra Barin Mukherjee.

“The team has demonstrated capability in developing new products and services that will aid in driving growth for the company in the quarters ahead. We also believe that the macro for digital consumption, driven by higher internet adoption and evolving consumer behaviour, is fairly solid. Significant value can be unlocked in this space by focusing on cost efficiencies around operating processes and through acquisitions,” said Mohit Ralhan, managing partner and chief investment officer, TIW Private Equity.

TIW Private Equity focuses on sectors such as fast-moving consumer goods, financial services, software and healthcare. Its portfolio includes startups such as design management platform Arth Design Build, logistics platform Plovio Value Chain Solutions and chemical testing platform Sanray Labs.
