The round saw participation from Ritesh Agarwal (Founder, Aroa Ventures), Abhinav Sinha (Global COO, OYO), Maninder Gulati (Global Chief Strategy Officer, OYO), Kavikrut (Chief Growth Officer, OYO), Rohit Kapoor (CEO, India-South-East Asia, OYO) and Ashish Goel (Founder and CEO, Urban Ladder), Vineet Nanda (Founder, Sift Capital), and Manish Chopra (Global Leader, Genpact).
The edtech company plans to use the capital raised to develop and scale its robotic kits and supply chain, along with expanding its current team.
Wiingy, founded by Asit Biswal, is an edtech platform that aims to provide its users with robotics kits and 1:1 live classes on coding and advanced science, especially to children between the ages of 5-15. The platform has launched robotics courses and is looking to expand its subject offerings further.
“Students across age groups love our robotics courses and parents appreciate the unique hands-on experience of our courses. Our ‘Learning by building’ methodology, which is focussed on practical learning while doing experiential projects, has meant that students are deeply engaged throughout the curriculum. Our platform also enables a new set of educators who enjoy STEM teaching by connecting them with students around the globe,” commented Asit Biswal.
