Chitkara University congratulates Sameer Sharma, Alumni and co-founder Trideal on the acquisition of his start-up by Little (A Pay TM, SAIF Partners funded company).
Sameer , a computer science engineering graduate of batch 2003-2007, approached Chikara University with his idea for a hyperlocal deals marketplace. Incubated at Chitkara University, Trideal was born and today offers deals across food and beverage, and entertainment with over 1,000 merchants. Operating in Chandigarh, Mohali and Punjab, Trideal claims it gets 7,000-plus unique visitors every month.
‘Little’, the hyper-local deals marketplace in the online to offline space (O2O), today announced the acquisition of curated deals portal Trideal for an undisclosed amount. The company provides real-time deals to customers across services like restaurants, movies, hotels, salons, gyms and spas. It was founded by Manish Chopra and Satish Mani, both of whom co-founded online fashion brand Zovi.
Sameer Sharma, CEO and Co-founder of Trideal stated that, “Our customers will now get access to Little’s merchant and deals database. This will also provide a significant boost in business for our merchants.”
Little Internet Pvt. Ltd, which operates Little, had earlier raised $50 million from mobile recharge and m-commerce firm Paytm, SAIF Partners and Tiger Global Management in June 2015. Following this acquisition, Trideal’s co-founders and its core team will join Little.
We are proud of Sameer and wish him all the very best for his future endeavors.
