Online learning platform Seekho has secured $8 million in its Series A funding round, which was led by Lightspeed. Existing investor Elevation Capital also participated in the round, as confirmed by Seekho’s founder and CEO, Rohit Choudhary, in a LinkedIn post.

This funding round follows earlier reports that Seekho was raising between $8 million and $10 million at a valuation of $45 million, with investors seeking to acquire a 20% stake in the startup. The fresh capital will help Seekho expand its offerings and reach more users.

Founded in 2020 by Rohit Choudhary, Keertay Agarwal, and Yash Banwani, Seekho aims to empower individuals by providing accessible tools to acquire new skills and knowledge. The platform offers a variety of short learning videos across categories such as parenting, share market, Instagram, finance, and personal development, among others.

Seekho operates on a subscription model with monthly and annual plans starting at INR 149 per month. Users who do not subscribe can still access a few videos with advertisements.

Seekho’s app is available on both iOS and Android, and it competes with prominent learning platforms such as Unacademy, Coursera, edX, and Udemy.

In his LinkedIn post, Rohit Choudhary, the founder and CEO of Seekho, shared the news, saying, “This is a testament to the trust our users, team, and investors place in us as we build India’s go-to short video platform for Lifelong Learning”.
