Funngro: Empowering India’s Youth to Earn & Learn

Solving the Problem: Bridging the Gap Between Teens and Earning Opportunities 

India has over 300 million teenagers, yet most lack real-world work experience before stepping into professional life. The traditional education system emphasizes theoretical knowledge but fails to equip students with practical exposure and financial independence. 

At Funngro, we are solving this problem by providing teenagers a safe, legal, and structured way to earn and learn through real-world projects from top companies. Our platform connects brands, startups, and businesses with skilled and enthusiastic Teenlancers, enabling them to gain financial freedom, develop essential skills, and build a strong portfolio before they even graduate.

Funngro operates on a two-sided marketplace model, benefiting both companies and Teenlancers.

🔹 For Teenlancers: We provide them with access to real-world gigs and projects in areas like marketing, sales, data entry, content creation, app testing, and more. They complete tasks, earn money, and build work experience.

🔹 For Businesses: Companies get affordable, enthusiastic, and skilled young talent for various projects. They pay a project fee, which Funngro monetizes through a commission-based model and additional revenue streams like premium projects, training programs, and brand partnerships.

Funngro was born out of a simple yet powerful idea: Teenagers should have access to meaningful earning opportunities while they learn.

🔹 Early Days: We started by testing a pilot with a few businesses and students. The response was overwhelming, proving the demand for structured teen freelancing.

🔹 Shark Tank India (Season 2): Our appearance on the show gave us national recognition, validating our vision.

🔹 Key Milestones:

✅ 45 lakh+ Teenlancers onboarded

✅ 2500+ companies partnered

✅ Millions in earnings facilitated for Teenlancers

✅ Successful collaborations with leading brands

From an idea to a movement empowering India's youth, Funngro has grown into a trusted platform for financial freedom, skill-building, and career growth.

Over the next 3-5 years, Funngro aims to:

Expand to 1 Crore+ Teenlancers

Go Global by bringing Teenlancers from across countries onto our platform

Onboard 10,000+ companies actively hiring teen talent

Launch a learning & upskilling academy for Teenlancers

Make teen freelancing mainstream in India’s gig economy

We envision a world where every teenager can earn, learn, and grow—transforming into financially independent young professionals before they even step into college.

"If you see a problem, don’t just complain—solve it. Execution is everything. Start small, fail fast, and keep building."

At Funngro, we started with just an idea, and today we are reshaping the future of work for millions. If you have a vision, go all in and make it happen!
