Between graduating and starting work, there is a sizeable gap - filled neither by the educational institutions nor the employers. We are using technology to truly democratise job-led education - in an affordable, fun and gamified way.”

Arihant Jain, Co-Founder, Seekho.ai added, “We believe in bringing world-class career education at affordable prices to Indians. Our vision is super large and we’re just getting started. We feel privileged to partner with the right set of investors who share our vision.”

Nimesh Kampani of JM Financial said, “Seekho is working on the incredibly exciting job tech space that is creating a learning platform with real outcomes. What is exciting for us is that they are genuinely democratising higher education for our youth and created an offering that is affordable but yet effective.”

These points can be redeemed on live classes, and also move learners up the Seekho Talentboard.
