B2B-Focused EdTech Startup Saarthi Pedagogy Raises INR 10 Cr

India’s fastest-growing pedagogy company providing an edge to deliver quality education across all major boards, Saarthi Pedagogy has recently announced that it has raised INR 10 crore from venture capital firm GVFL Limited, marking the final close of its Pre-Series A round at $3.7 million (around INR 30 crore).

The round was also joined by Prestige Group subsidiary Pinnacle Investments. With this fundraising, the Ahmedabad-based startup plans to work for product enhancement, the ramp-up of the technology team, content creation, and expansion of the sales footprint.

Speaking about the company, Founder & CEO of Saarthi Pedagogy, Sushil Agrawal, said:

“We are laser-focused on solving the problem of 4.5 lakh budget schools that charge a fee between Rs 15,000 – 45,000. These are schools where affordability is a major concern and students are extremely value conscious, but they also require a tech-driven learning solution to make a meaningful difference in their student’s learning outcomes.”

Started by Sushil Agarwal in 2018, Saarthi Pedagogy provides learning management solutions for educational institutions to identify improvements in students’ learning outcomes. The platform also offers to personalize and bring ease to the teaching and learning experiences based on the learner’s needs. The company’s mission is to empower schools technologically to bridge the learning gap and attain rote-free learning outcomes.

Earlier this year, the EdTech company launched its revamped technology platform that enables educational institutions to identify improvements in the learning outcomes of all students. The updated technology platform has been well received, and it now allows school administrators to track the progress of each student and teacher, the company said in a statement.

Kamal Bansal, Managing Director, GVFL, said:

India’s edtech market, which was valued at USD 2.8 billion in 2020, is projected to expand at a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 39 per cent and reach USD 10 billion by 2025, with K-12 learning solutions accounting for 41 per cent of the total market size. It gives us immense pleasure to join hands with Saarthi which bridges the gap between grades and knowledge and delivers an end-to-end solution for schools, teachers, and students, as opposed to point solutions available in the current edtech industry

Last year in March, Saarthi Pedagogy raised about $2.1 million (INR 16 crore) as a part of its Pre-Series A funding round led by Pinnacle Investments. Prior to that, it had raised $943,000 (INR 7 crore). The funding round was led by Ecosystem Ventures, with participation from other investors, including LetsVenture, JITO Angel Network, and other marquee angels. The startup’s latest investment brings its total raised to $4.7 million.
