Rocksport, a trailblazer in in-school adventure programs, recently achieved a significant milestone with a fresh injection of investment from Brand Capital, the strategic investment arm of The Times of India. This latest funding round, totalling nearly $3 million, marks the culmination of Rocksport’s Series A financing, propelling its valuation to an impressive $30 million.
The funds are earmarked primarily for strategic advertising and brand-building endeavours to showcase Rocksport’s unique offerings to a broader audience. Leveraging Brand Capital’s marketing prowess and The Times of India’s extensive reach, Rocksport is poised to solidify its position as a leader in adventure-based experiences.
Building on its successful partnership with Mahindra Holidays & Resorts, which initially invested in Rocksport to broaden its presence across India, the company has expanded its portfolio to curate specialized programs catering to families and corporations.
Currently servicing over 1,000 premier schools, Rocksport is on a mission to dominate the adventure experiences market, catering to educational institutions, families and corporations seeking thrilling outings and weekend getaways.
Furthermore, Rocksport distinguishes itself by importing and distributing eight globally renowned adventure and outdoor brands in India, including Coleman, CampinGaz, Contiigo, Edelrid, and Lifestraw. This strategic move enhances Rocksport’s offerings, ensuring unparalleled quality and variety for its discerning clientele.
With the backing of Brand Capital and a growing roster of partners, Rocksport is poised to ascend to greater heights, solidifying its status as a premier provider of exhilarating adventure experiences across India.
