“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.”
