The funds raised in this round will be strategically channeled towards research and development efforts and to bolster manufacturing capabilities, propelling Selligion’s next phase of expansion. The company’s overarching focus is to revolutionize the learning landscape in India by leveraging cloud technology and offering affordable yet uncompromised computers on a subscription model to students across the nation, bridging the digital divide caused by financial constraints.
Apeksha Mehta, Co-Founder, and Spokesperson at Selligion Technologies, expressed enthusiasm about the company’s mission, stating, “At Selligion, we are dedicated to empowering every child with essential digital skills by offering a powerful computer hardware, a user-friendly operating system, and a robust cloud infrastructure. Thanks to our recent Pre-Series round A funding, we are poised to make significant strides in our mission. Our research efforts will focus on further enhancing our offerings, with the aim of increasing our manufacturing capacity multi-fold—allowing us to reach more than 1 lakh students by March 2024.

Dr. Aniruddha Malpani, an esteemed figure in the field of medicine and an advocate for education for all, spoke passionately about the need for digital literacy and Selligion’s role in bridging the digital gap. “Embracing digital literacy is the key to unlocking India’s potential, but with only 10-15 per cent of Indian homes owning a computer, our nation’s digital infrastructure demands immediate strengthening. We aim to bridge this divide, creating a technologically inclusive ecosystem that empowers every learner, regardless of their background, to thrive in the digital age. By strengthening our digital foundations, we can forge a brighter, more equitable future for our beloved nation,” he shared.
