Indian storytelling platform Pratilipi has raised $20 million in a Series E funding round led by Jungle Ventures.
The funding will support Pratilipi's expansion into new storytelling formats, such as animation and vertical drama, and its entry into international markets.
Pratilipi, founded in 2015, offers a self-publishing platform for writers in Indian languages and has evolved into a widely used platform for regional storytelling.
The company's core online literature business is profitable, and it has expanded through acquisitions of publishing house Westland Books and the podcast network IVM Podcasts.
