Tekie, an edtech startup, has announced that it has secured $1.5 million in its latest funding round. The seed round was led by GSV Ventures and Multiply Ventures. The round also saw participation from Better Capital.
The Bengaluru-based company informed in a statement, “the startup plans to utilise the funds to scale its operation to support the increasing demand and build a strong team to unlock the next level of growth.”
Commenting on the startup, Anand Verma, Co-Founder of Tekie, said, “As a first-generation learner, I have seen the transformational impact of education first hand. When we started four years back, our goal was to build a product with a focus on three pillars — put learning outcomes at the forefront, make learning an enjoyable experience, and provide the best teachers to learners. Our animated series, live projects, and gamified learning journey make the course an immersive experience and the students look forward to their sessions.”
Co-founder Naman Mukund added, “Having grown up in a digital-first world, the learning habits of students have evolved and the education system needs to keep up with the changing trends. Coding is not only an essential skill for the future but an effective way to build problem-solving and logical thinking among kids,”
