Bengaluru: 100X.VC portfolio firm Super Scholar, an edtech platform, has raised $400,000 in a funding round from MAGIC Fund, 2am VC, Astir VC, JITO Angel Network, and others.
The company said it will use the funds to strengthen its courses and scholarship offerings to ensure more students can leverage these facilities or grants.
Rohan Lodha, Co-Founder at Super Scholar, said, “We are delighted to have raised the first cheque from 100X.VC and close $400k follow-on funding. We started Super Scholar with a vision to make online courses accessible to every student in India and across the world and it’s time to execute now.”
Founded in 2019, Super Scholar is the brainchild of Rohan Lodha and Priyes Bamne. The platform was founded with a vision to make online courses affordable to every student. Considering that most students, though interested in taking online courses, can’t pursue it because of affordability factors, they decided to develop a solution.
The platform works on a mission to provide students with the education they deserve through exclusive scholarships and grants. At present, it has more than 16,000 users and is forecasted to reach one million users by the end of 2022.
“Super scholar is aiming to solve a real pain point for Indian Gen Z learners. What got us excited was Super Scholar’s aim to help learners with their own self-learning discovery. We felt their mission aligns well with India’s Gen Z desire to shift away from a forced reactive type of learning to a personal and desired based proactive type of learning.”, said,Hershel Mehta, Co-founder & Partner, 2am VC.
