This fresh infusion of capital takes Seekho’s total funding to $39 million across three rounds, with strong backing from Lightspeed, Elevation, PointOne Capital, Sprout Investment, AngelList, Succeed, and prominent angel investors such as Gaurav Munjal, Anupam Mittal, Alok Mittal, and Zishaan Hayath.
Funding Plans
After Series B round, Seekho has revealed that the new funds will be used to build AI-first solutions and introduce innovative content formats. The company’s vision is to make learning more relevant, bite-sized, and easily consumable, turning education into a daily habit for millions of Indians.
Founder Rohit Choudhary expressed excitement about Bessemer’s involvement, saying, “We’re building a category-defining product that puts ‘Edutainment on Tap’ for the next 500 million Indians.” This aligns with India’s rising demand for digital-first, mobile-based learning.
Rapid User Growth
Founded in 2020 by Rohit Choudhary, Keertay Agarwal, and Yash Banwani, Seekho offers vernacular short-form learning content across categories such as career, business, and self-growth. The platform has quickly gained popularity, claiming 25 million monthly active users, with a 60% growth rate quarter-on-quarter.
The platform’s appeal lies in its ability to simplify knowledge into short, engaging content that fits the fast-paced lifestyle of young Indians. With a massive internet-savvy audience waiting to be tapped, Seekho believes it can become India’s go-to edutainment destination.
Revenue and Market Potential
For the financial year ending March 2024, Seekho reported Rs 11.5 crore in revenue and Rs 4.6 crore in losses. While the FY25 report is yet to be disclosed, the company remains optimistic about its trajectory.
According to the company, growing consumer willingness to pay for digital content and the adoption of UPI autopay systems are fueling subscription-led growth. Seekho is aiming to capture a significant share of India’s $2.5 billion subscription economy, driven by the shift in how young audiences consume knowledge.
What is Seekho
At its core, Seekho is a short-form edutainment platform designed to make learning engaging, relatable, and accessible. Unlike traditional education apps, Seekho focuses on micro-learning formats that deliver knowledge in minutes, available in local languages to break barriers for India’s diverse audience.
Its unique approach combines education with entertainment, enabling users to learn about career tips, personal growth, and business insights in a fun, consumable format. This positioning has helped Seekho stand out in the crowded Indian edtech space.
Future of Edutainment
As India witnesses a surge in digital adoption, the edtech market is evolving beyond long-format courses into snackable, on-demand knowledge formats. With $28 million in fresh backing, Seekho is doubling down on its mission to create India’s largest edutainment platform, bridging the gap between curiosity and structured learning.
With its rapid user growth, strong investor confidence, and AI-driven roadmap, Seekho is not only redefining learning for Gen Z and millennials but also shaping the future of short-form knowledge consumption in India.
