Mitesh Shethwala, Founder – Currently, said: “This funding comes at a time when we are scaling our tech infrastructure and expanding our engineering and design teams. Social media was supposed to make us social in the real world — but today, it’s more about entertainment and ads. Currently brings back authenticity by showing what people are doing right now, not what algorithms decide. We are not replacing anything — we are rebuilding what social media was meant to be.”

Ravi Patel, Aarvi Family Office LLP, said: “We are excited to partner with team Currently in this funding round. Currently represents a new category in social networking — one that blends authenticity, real-time presence, and genuine discovery. The team’s organic traction and near-zero marketing spend show that people are ready for a social media revolution rooted in reality, not vanity.”
