Seekho, a short-form learning platform, has raised $28 million in Series B funding led by Bessemer Venture Partners.
The round also included Goodwater Capital (focused on consumer tech) and existing investors Lightspeed Venture Partners and Elevation Capital.
The company plans to use the money to create new types of content and improve user experience with AI.
“We want to create new learning journeys in a more hybrid and interactive format, leveraging AI to deliver personalised learning experiences across all categories,” founder Rohit Choudhary said.
“We will soon be launching Kannada and Bangla, and at the same time, we are also expanding to English-speaking users,” said Choudhary. The subscription-based platform currently offers content primarily in Hindi and introduced Telugu and Tamil about a quarter ago.
“I think there’s still a 10x potential just in India. I’m coming from the perspective that this is a highly aspirational country, where people want to improve their lives. They understand that they need to learn something new, and that is the major insight we have been building on,” Choudhary added.
Anant Vidur Puri, partner at Bessemer Venture Partners, said “The trifecta of over 800 million smartphone users in India, each of them spending seven to eight hours a day, and frictionless online payments means that almost all aspects of life have moved to digital platforms – from buying groceries to financial transactions and now, with Seekho, education as well.”
Seekho was founded in 2020 by Rohit Choudhary, Keertay Agarwal, and Yash Banwani. The platform offers short, regional-language content on career, business, and self-growth.
Based in Bengaluru, the company says it has 25 million monthly users and is growing by 60% every quarter.
Right now, Seekho operates only in India, but it plans to expand globally next fiscal year. Its last funding round was $8 million in December 2024.
