I am confident that with Aditya and Nhu at the forefront, not only will Schola deepen our presence in the more than 30 countries we’re already operational in, but will also help us introduce Brightchamps to many other parts of the world,”.
Brightchamps is presently valued at $650 million and is supported by illustrious investors like Premji Invest and Beenext. The company has raised roughly 63 million dollars so far.
