Participated · Series A · Dec 2017
Flintobox delivers monthly activity boxes containing play-based activities (painting, drawing, games) designed to promote early child development, plus a curriculum, daily lesson plans, teacher training, classroom posters and a parent app. Founded in 2013, the company reports more than four lakh (over 400,000) customers across 700+ cities and towns and serves around 350 preschools. It launched FlintoClass in June — a ‘pre-school in a box’ product for preschools. Flintobox turned profitable this year and registered revenue of Rs 13 crore. The company plans to capture India’s $4.5 billion pre-school market and pursue global expansion beginning in South‑East and Middle‑East Asia. Flinto makes Flintobox, a theme-based activity box sent monthly to subscribers for children aged 3–7 designed to develop cognitive, motor, creative, social and language skills. Each month the company creates a fresh activity box with a new theme (examples in the article: veggie champ, wildlife safari, fun with numbers, colour scientist). The Chennai-based company was founded last year by CEO Arunprasad Durairaj and Vijaybabu Gandhi. Flinto began with 50 subscriptions and now ships 1,500 boxes to 230 locations in India. A single Flintobox is sold for Rs 1,095, with three- and six-month subscription options priced at Rs 2,985 and Rs 5,370 respectively. CEO Durairaj said the startup focuses on early-childhood education (before age eight) and that the raise was oversubscribed in two months.
