Klassroom Edutech, an innovative education OTT platform, has secured an undisclosed amount in its Pre-Series A funding round, led by ah! Ventures. The round also included LetsVenture, Hem Securities, Meteor Ventures, and Growth Sense Fund participation.
Klassroom Edutech, a Mumbai-based startup, is gearing up to accelerate its growth by enhancing its AI-driven technology, creating new content, and expanding into additional geographic regions.
Since its inception in 2016, Klassroom has raised over $1.5 million across multiple funding rounds. The latest investment will be instrumental in advancing its hybrid learning model, which integrates online and offline education. Founded by a mother-and-son team—Alka, Dhruv, and Dhumil Javeri—the startup is dedicated to improving education accessibility for students in both urban and rural areas.
Klassroom has garnered attention not only for its educational initiatives but also for its backing by Bollywood actor and entrepreneur Suniel Shetty. Shetty has supported the platform through the Suniel Shetty Scholarship Scheme, which aims to expand educational opportunities for more students.
Speaking about the funding, Amit D Kumar, senior partner at ah! Ventures, said, “Education is a sector we have also believed and backed, and I am sure there are more exciting milestones which Klassroom is on its way to achieve.”
Pranav Mahajani, from LetsVenture, added, “Klassroom’s innovative hybrid model, combining their Education OTT platform with offline learning centres, addresses critical challenges of accessibility, affordability, and accountability in education. We believe Klassroom is poised to redefine the future of learning in India and beyond.”
Aligned with NEP 2020, Klassroom Edutech provides a comprehensive learning experience. Its network includes over 200 offline learning centers across more than 600 cities in India, reaching over 500,000 students. The platform also offers courses beyond K-12 education, including competitive exam preparation for IIT-JEE, CA, and CS.
The startup’s OTT app has rapidly grown, attracting 50,000 subscribers within its first year. The app offers diverse content, from academic subjects to skill development, career-focused courses, and language learning, promoting a well-rounded educational approach.
Financially, Klassroom boasts impressive performance, delivering 7X returns to investors over the past three years. The startup anticipates 3X year-on-year growth, supported by consistent weekly revenue increases. Notably, Klassroom has achieved profitability in an industry often defined by losses, with 35% EBITDA and 20% PAT profitability.
In addition to its recent funding, Klassroom has signed an MoU with the Government of Rajasthan to deliver skill development courses to 300,000 students across 3,000 schools. This partnership underscores the company’s commitment to enhancing educational opportunities and skill development.
The edtech sector has seen renewed investor interest, with startups raising over $568 million in 2024 alone. Despite potential funding challenges in 2025, Klassroom’s focus on AI-powered technology and hybrid learning models positions it for sustained growth.
Klassroom Edutech is reshaping India’s education landscape through innovative strategies and strategic partnerships. Backed by prominent investors and a strong vision, the startup is making education more accessible, affordable, and impactful for students nationwide. As its offerings and footprint expand, Klassroom stands out as a leading player in the rapidly evolving edtech ecosystem.
