Y Combinator-backed B2B startup Bikayi, which provides free WhatsApp-integrated ecommerce store setup with payment gateways and order tracking, raised a seed round of $2 mn from a clutch of international investors, including Mantis ventures, a VC fund promoted by the popular band Chainsmokers.
Ankur Nagpal ,Angel investor, Pioneer Fund, said, "Bikayi is the company I am most excited about in the entire YC batch. They have a tremendous opportunity to become the storefront of choice for the millions of small local businesses in India -- and eventually the entire developing world. They make commerce both local and personal, which is integral for success in India, and their growth numbers speak for themselves."
