Bambinos.Live, an online English tutoring platform for kids aged 4-14, which appeared on Season 4 of Shark Tank has raised funding from founder investors —Anupam Mittal, Namita Thapar and Riteish Aggarwal.
Bambino.Live will use the funding to enhance its product offerings, strengthen its tech stack, and boost its marketing activities.
The main initiative will be on — Bambinos Doodle, an AI-enabled camera, that livestreams your child’s writing to their teacher for instant feedback—enhancing thinking, language, and academic performance like never before.
It will also work on further improving the curriculum to drive best in class learning.
“We are incredibly excited about the prospect of onboarding three Sharks to Bambinos.Live. Having them on board is not just a powerful validation of our vision, but also a testament to the trust in what we have already built and the ambitious roadmap we are set to achieve.Each of these Sharks brings unique expertise that will further strengthen our journey,” said Ashish Gupta, co-founder and CEO of Bambinos.
Gupta co-founded Bambinos in 2021 with Gaurav Brar to address the challenges of learning English, inspired by his own experiences during school.
Bambinos.live is dedicated to giving students the right start in life by focusing on developing their confidence, enhancing problem-solving abilities, and encouraging them to think critically.
