In May this year, Bengaluru-based online teaching platform Teachmint raised $16.5 million (around Rs 120 crore) in a Series A funding round led by Learn Capital, with participation from CM Ventures and existing investors Lightspeed and Better Capital. 

According to a statement by Teachmint, this is the first major lead investment in India by Learn Capital, the first-ever and leading global edtech VC with early investments in Coursera, Udemy, Brainly, and 50+ global category leaders.

Launched in early 2020 while the coronavirus-led lockdown was unfolding in India, Teachmint is the brainchild of Mihir Gupta, Payoj Jain, Divyansh Bordia and Anshuman Kumar – alumni of IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi with executive experience at Oyo, McKinsey, Swiggy and Roposo.

In a bid to eliminate the troubles faced by tutors as they shift online, and to help them get rid of several fragmented and complex digital tools, Bengaluru-based edtech startup Teachmint came up with a SaaS platform in the form of an all-in-one free live tutoring solution, a mobile-first video-first app that empowers  teachers to seamlessly digitise their tutoring business.

In less than 10 months since inception, it had over 9 lakh teacher registrations. Currently the platform serves over one million teachers and covers users in 1500+ cities and towns from Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir to Port Blair in Andaman and Nicobar Islands. 

The latest fund will be used by Teachmint to hire top talent, and for R&D, strategic acquisitions, and further market expansion.
