Seekho comments on series B funding round in a statement

In a significant development, the short-form learning startup Seekho has raised $28 million in a Series B funding round led by Bessemer Venture Partners. The round also saw participation from consumer tech-focused Goodwater Capital and existing investors Lightspeed Venture Partners and Elevation Capital [2]. The Bengaluru-based company, founded in 2020 by Rohit Choudhary, Keertay Agarwal, and Yash Banwani, offers short, curated learning content in vernacular languages through three to five-minute videos.

The funds will be used to build new content formats and leverage AI-driven solutions to enhance user experiences. "We want to create new learning journeys in a more hybrid and interactive format, leveraging AI to deliver personalized learning experiences across all categories," said Choudhary, founder of Seekho [2]. The platform currently operates in India and aims for global expansion in the next fiscal year.

Seekho has 25 million monthly active users and is recording a 60% growth rate. The company plans to launch Kannada and Bangla content and expand to English-speaking users. The subscription-based platform currently offers content primarily in Hindi, with recent additions of Telugu and Tamil [2].

The funding round underscores investor confidence in Seekho's business model and growth trajectory. The company's focus on vernacular content and AI-driven personalization positions it well to capture a significant share of the global learning market. This investment will enable Seekho to further enhance its user experience, expand its content offerings, and accelerate its global expansion plans.
