Edtech Startup SuperLearn raises $300K pre-seed round led by Incubate Fund. The funding round has been joined by five angel investors, which includes Vishal Bharghav, Padmanabhan Thangarajan, Anuraag Gupta, and Karan Talwar. The startup aims to use this funding to deepen its product offering by introducing structured programmes, DIY activities etc. The funds will also be utilised to onboard new users to their platform. Kunal Bhatia, Co-founder, SuperLearn, said: “Despite it being obvious that the early childhood education system is broken in India, there still seems to be no solution to how we are going to mass-educate India. Our vision is to provide millions of underserved children with access to affordable, high quality education.”
He further added, “We are doing this by building Internet scale classrooms through which every child can learn whatever interests them in a live class directly from the best educators in their respective fields. In fact, we are building it as a freemium offering such that a lot of kids will be able to learn on the platform for free as well.” SuperLearn was founded by BITS Pilani alum Kunal Bhatia and SRCC and NMIMS alum Ricky Gupta in December 2020. Since then they have been successful in building a community of 40,000 parents whose kids attend their classes everyday. The startup said the initial phase of growth and traction was fuelled by a WhatsApp-first approach. It offers classes in the form of webinars on a wide range of topics such as hobby, extracurricular, co-curricular and life-skills activities, including art, craft, dance, yoga, vedic maths, GK, English, science, general awareness, chess etc.
