The figures come from MyGrahak.com founder and CEO Ambuj Jhunjhunwala in an announcement, stating, “We would be considering private equity investors for our next level of capital infusion. MyGrahak is gearing up for the next level of growth. Our monthly revenues have crossed Rs. 1.25 crore last month and we will break even by December 2012.
