Mythik, a technology-led entertainment startup focused on Eastern mythology and history, has raised $5 million in a new funding round at a valuation exceeding $50 million, according to yourstory.com. This follows a $15 million seed round raised last year, marking significant investor confidence in the company’s vision.
The funding round included new investors such as Harsh Jain, Founder & CEO of Dream11; Rajat Gupta, Former Global MD of McKinsey and Co-founder of ISB; Zubin Bharti Mittal from Bharti Mittal Family Office; Ishan Sinha, Head of Private Investing at Point 72; Blume Founder’s Fund from Blume Ventures; and Rooshabh Shah, MD of SVAR Projects. Existing investors like Sakal Media Group, Jason Kothari, Anirudh Patni, Samarth Parekh, and Samir Vora also participated. Founder and CEO Jason Kothari highlighted the strategic value and global perspective these investors bring.
This funding round is significant as it underscores growing interest in tech-first entertainment platforms that leverage cultural narratives for global audiences. Mythik’s focus on Eastern mythology and folktales taps into a niche yet expanding market, differentiating it from mainstream entertainment startups. The involvement of prominent investors from diverse sectors signals confidence in the startup’s potential to build a category-defining global entertainment company.
Looking ahead, Mythik plans to use the fresh capital to accelerate product development and expand its global reach. The company aims to deepen its content offerings and enhance its technology platform to engage audiences worldwide, further establishing itself as a leader in the tech-driven cultural entertainment space.
