Karan and Advita’s pitch for their exclusive concierge service catering to high-net-worth individuals.

  • Pitch: Indulge is a digital concierge service for high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) and ultra-HNIs, offering personalized assistance for travel, dining, shopping, and special requests via WhatsApp.
  • Ask: ₹50 lakhs for 1% equity (valuation: ₹50 crore).
  • Background: Karan, a college dropout, started a luxury magazine before pivoting to concierge services. Advita, from a Marwari family, joined him to build the business.
  • Financials:
    • Revenue: ₹2.2 crore in 7 months, with a profit margin of 30%.
    • Subscription model: ₹4 lakhs/year or ₹40,000/month.
