About us:
Probo was founded in 2021 by Sachin Gupta and Ashish Garg, both NIT-K/IIM-C grads who worked together at Uber & Urban Company prior to their venture.
At its heart, Probo is an opinion trading platform building prediction markets for India. On Probo, users can find questions on many topics of their interest, like sports, news, finance and many more. Users can
swipe yes or no to express their opinion and place trade(s), and by doing so they enter into an event contract with another user on the other side of the trade. Probo is a matching engine that enables the execution of this event contract. Each trade is INR 10, and at the end of the event contract, the user with the correct opinion wins the quantum at stake.
We are also backed by the finest institutional investors in the form of Sequoia and Elevation (formerly SAIF Partners). We are also blessed by some of the most audacious Indian entrepreneurs and tech leaders such as Kunal Shah (Cred), Kunal Bahl/Rohit Bansal (Snapdeal), Bhavik Koladiya (BharatPe), Harshil Mathur/ Shashank Kumar (RazorPay), and early Uber and UrbanCompany mafia
