Girnar Soft, the parent company of online automobile marketplace CarDekho.com, has recently invested $1 million in an education start-up CollegeDekho.
CollegeDekho was founded by a set of entrepreneurs who are passionate about education and wanted to solve the bottlenecks in the college admission process.
“Higher education in India is a market segment that requires a fresh approach to overcome the incumbent inertia. We quite liked the idea of a disruptive development that could assist students in making more informed choices. Additionally, the synergy and the strength of the vision driving the team at CollegeDekho also played a vital role in convincing us to invest so deeply into the venture,” said Amit Jain, CEO and co-founder at Girnar Soft.
CollegeDekho will be using the funds for developing its platform, building its team and marketing. Girnar Soft’s investment would serve as the seed funding for the venture, with more funds expected to be raised in due course of time.
