Seekho, an innovative online learning platform, has raised $8 million in its Series A Funding round. Lightspeed spearheaded this investment, joined by returning investor Elevation Capital. The Bengaluru-based startup, founded in 2020 by Rohit Choudhary, Keertay Agarwal, and Yash Banwani, aims to revolutionize skill development with its unique approach.
Designed primarily for audiences in smaller Indian cities, Seekho delivers short video lessons across diverse topics like parenting, Instagram marketing, finance, and personal growth. Each 2-5-minute video allows learners to quickly acquire new skills and prepare for real-world applications. The platform’s episodic structure ensures comprehensive yet concise learning experiences.
The platform offers flexible subscription plans, starting at an affordable INR 149, with weekly or monthly access options. Non-subscribers can enjoy a limited number of free videos supported by advertisements, making learning accessible for all.
Seekho Expanding Horizons and Partnerships
This Series A Funding round highlights Seekho’s growing appeal in the edtech sector. The startup previously raised $3 million in March 2022 from Elevation Capital. After that funding, Elevation acquired a 24 percent stake, while all co-founders retained 16.65 percent each.
Available on both iOS and Android, Seekho’s mobile app ensures accessibility for learners on the go. The platform’s engaging short video lessons bridge the education gap in Indian cities and beyond. Seekho’s focus on tier-II and tier-III markets positions it as a leader in delivering targeted, practical education for underserved regions.
In a LinkedIn post, Rohit Choudhary, founder and CEO of Seekho, said, “This funding is a testament to the trust our users, team, and investors place in us as we build India’s go-to short video platform for lifelong learning.” This trust, he said, shows that users value the platform’s focus on quick, practical lessons.
The recent funding values Seekho at approximately $45 million, underscoring investor confidence in its mission. The strategic partnership with Lightspeed and Elevation Capital strengthens Seekho’s capacity to expand its offerings and reach more learners. As Seekho grows, it’s poised to become a frontrunner in the skill development market.
