Separately, Kaabil Kids appeared on Shark Tank India Season 3 and secured ₹50 Lakh for 2.5% equity + ₹20 Lakh debt at 12% for 2 years from Namita Thapar and Aman Gupta (deal terms as aired; on-air deals in Shark Tank India are not always finalized as announced, and no independent filing confirms final closing). Company-reported cumulative figure cited as "~₹2.75 Cr across two major rounds" in secondary coverage. Investor count reported as ~24. Confidence: partial — funding amounts vary slightly by source and are not corroborated by ROC filings (e.g., no MGT-7/PAS-3 data available through allowed sources).
Charges & Loans
ConfirmedNo charges or secured borrowings are registered against this company's assets.
Competitors
Partial / conflicting- Named peers in the India online/kids-chess-coaching space (from secondary web coverage, not verified financial peers): CircleChess, Kingdom of Chess, Upstep Academy, Winstar Chess Academy, Victorious Chess Academy, Eight Times Eight (8x8) Chess Academy
- All appear to be similarly early-stage/bootstrapped or small-VC-backed online chess coaching platforms targeting Indian and global students
- Kaabil Kids differentiates via its Shark Tank India media exposure and FIDE/Grandmaster-branded curriculum
- Scale-wise, most of these peers (aside from global players like Chess.com/Chessable/ChessKid, which operate at a much larger international scale and are not direct India-only peers) appear to be roughly comparable small-scale (sub-₹10 Cr revenue) operations; none of this is independently confirmed via financial filings
