Ramdeobaba University (RBU) is proud to be the launchpad for ROCCA, an innovative start-up revolutionizing the chocolate industry. Incubated at RBU’s dedicated business incubator, ROCCA has leveraged the university’s strong ecosystem of mentorship, resources, and seed funding to transform an idea into a successful business.
Founded by MBA alumni Yash Pande and Sonal Bahilani, ROCCA’s journey started with seed funding from RBU’s incubation program. This initiative offers aspiring entrepreneurs crucial support, including funding, infrastructure, and expert guidance. The nurturing environment at RBU provided ROCCA with the tools and confidence to elevate their idea into a successful venture.
ROCCA’s breakthrough came when they secured their first round of funding from 100xVC, one of India’s leading venture capital firms. The start-up went on to attract additional investments from three angel investors. Their bold innovation earned them a spot on ‘Shark Tank India’ Season 3, where their vision was supported by all the Sharks, leading to a partnership with Ritesh Agrawal, Founder of OYO. Available on their website, select e-commerce platforms, and in physical outlets, ROCCA is a prime example of the transformative power of university-backed entrepreneurship.
