Short-form video learning platform Seekho has raised $28 million in a fresh funding round led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with participation from existing investors. The funding underscores the growing demand for bite-sized, skills-based learning in India’s rapidly evolving EdTech landscape.
Founded with a vision to simplify learning through engaging short videos, Seekho combines entertainment with education, offering career-oriented courses and quick upskilling modules. The platform caters to young professionals and students seeking flexible, snackable learning formats that fit into their busy lives.
Funding & Growth Plans
- Amount Raised: $28 million
- Lead Investor: Bessemer Venture Partners
- Participation: Existing backers (names undisclosed)
- Focus: Scaling product offerings, expanding the creator ecosystem, and strengthening AI-driven personalisation.
The company plans to expand its video-first learning model by leveraging the funds for technology enhancement, user acquisition, and partnerships with industry leaders. With India’s edtech market projected to touch $10 billion by 2025, Seekho aims to position itself as a go-to destination for micro-learning.
Industry Impact
Seekho’s model mirrors the global trend of short-form content consumption, pioneered by platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels. However, its career-focused approach differentiates it from entertainment apps, making it a hybrid between edtech and creator-led learning platforms.
“Learning should be accessible, quick, and effective. This funding will help us empower millions of learners by connecting them with industry experts in formats they love,” said a company spokesperson.
With this funding, Seekho joins the ranks of India’s fast-growing edtech startups, vying to capture the next wave of Gen Z and millennial learners.
