| In 2016, Dr. Amit Pareek, Founder & CEO, Eduncle, started with a small team of 5 people and a mission to empower students with the power of knowledge & build their concepts so that they can lead in their exams, career, and lives. And going ahead on this journey for providing barrier-free education, Eduncle is now an ever-growing organization with close to 150 employees, 65 top faculties, and more than 500 tutors working diligently 24*7 to accomplish this mission. |

| Commenting on the product, Harshit Goyal, Co-Founder & Head of Products, Eduncle, said, “The Holistic learning Platform of Eduncle is one of a kind in the league of Ed-Tech Apps. It’s not just unique but highly scalable as well. Our learning platform provides end-to-end test preparation for higher education with benefits such as – Live Classes, Video Lectures, Printed material, E-Learning, Automated Doubt Solutions, and Test Series combined with personalized 1on1 Mentorship sessions.” |
|
| “Eduncle has a promising team- a medical grad and 3 IIT/ IIT-IIM grads, and a business model which is proven through sizable current traction. The scalability potential is quite significant due to the blue ocean in the higher studies market. While the K-12 market looks crowded, there are very few players in the higher studies (after graduation) market. Eduncle has already acquired 10% market share of the three exams it is currently present in and is looking to replicate the same model in other similar exams.”, added Anubha Prasad, Founder – Karekeba Ventures & Venture Partner – ah! Ventures. Karekeba Ventures is a ‘Bharat’ focused Angel platform and a Venture Partner with ah! Ventures which has joined this round. |
