BCC Media Network Raises ₹2 Crore Seed Round Led by BeyondSeed

BCC Media Network, a Mumbai-headquartered new media company, has raised ₹2 crore in a seed round led by BeyondSeed. Rajkot Venture and Mrunal Jhaveri also participated.

BCC owns more than 50 digital properties that draw about 200 million monthly views. The portfolio includes more than 30 Instagram properties, 8 YouTube channels, 2 newsletters and 4 websites.

BCC owns the digital channels where audiences spend their time. It also creates shows and helps brands create their own IPs and shows.

Its current slate includes Desi Hustlers, Legacy Brief, the football banter show 1:30 AM FC, the Marathi entertainment channel Khidki and the kids’ superhero universe Era of Tara.

The fresh capital will go toward strengthening BCC’s owned media influence and building original IPs across startups, AI, pop culture, regional content, sports and kids.

The company aims to reach a distribution network of more than 125 properties and more than 25 original shows by March 2027.

BCC is led by founder couple Pawas Jain, Founder and Chief Strategy Officer, and Bhagyashree Jain, Founder and CEO. Pawas has spent more than 12 years building news and media properties, including leading Product Strategy at CNBC-TV18.

”Attention has moved from TV channels to social feeds, but very little of what fills those feeds have an ownership and commands retention,” said Pawas Jain. “We are building the opposite: properties we own outright, and shows that can live across them for years.”

Arjun Vaidya, co-founder of Verlinvest-backed V3 Ventures, has also joined BCC’s board as an advisor.
