Seekho raises $8 million in a Series A round led by Lightspeed, Elevation Capital

Online learning platform Seekho has raised $8 million in its Series A funding round led by Lightspeed and joined by existing investor Elevation Capital. 

Before this round, the Bengaluru-based startup raised $3 million from Elevation Capital and others in March 2022. 

Founder shares a LinkedIn post

Rohit Choudhary, founder and CEO of Seekho, announced the funding in a LinkedIn post, calling it “a testament to the trust our users, team, and investors place in us as we build India’s go-to short video platform for lifelong learning.” This trust, he said, shows that users value the platform’s focus on quick, practical lessons.

Short videos for skill development

Founded in 2020 by Choudhary, Keertay Agarwal, and Yash Banwani, Seekho serves users primarily in smaller Indian cities and beyond. The platform offers a range of short video lessons—each about two to five minutes long—across categories like parenting, stock market basics, Instagram marketing, finance, and personal development. These bite-sized episodes aim to help users learn new skills or gain knowledge quickly and easily.

The startup's subscription plans start at Rs 149 and include weekly and monthly options. The platform also allows non-subscribers to watch a limited number of free videos, which may include advertisements.

The app is available on both iOS and Android, allowing users across the country to access learning materials on the go.
