“Video technology in professional settings hasn’t kept pace with advances on the consumer front pioneered by apps like Snapchat and TikTok. Protonn is leading that change by providing professionals with an easy way to market themselves using video,” said Mausam Bhatt, co-founder of Protonn. 

Protonn was co-founded by Bhatt and Anil Goteti, former executives of Flipkart, last year. Bhatt said that the company will use the capital to hire more professionals, and for product development. 

“Protonn’s video-first and mobile-first approach combined with a superior product experience will redefine how professionals grow their business and engage with their customers in a post-Covid world,” said Vikram Vaidyanathan, MD at Matrix India.
