Indian AI Startup Seekho Raises $28 Mn in Series B Led by Bessemer Venture Partners

Short-video learning platform Seekho has raised $28 million in a Series B funding round led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with participation from Goodwater Capital and existing investors Lightspeed India and Elevation Capital, the company announced in a LinkedIn post.

Founded as a mobile-first edtech startup, Seekho offers more than 10,000 bite-sized learning videos in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. Its platform focuses on making knowledge accessible through short, regional-language videos that cover skills for work and everyday digital literacy.

The company said the new funding will support its push into AI-powered personalisation and international expansion. 

“With this funding, we’re leveraging AI to craft personalised learning journeys for every user and building a global learning brand that is Made in India,” Seekho said in a statement.

Elluminate Capital acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Seekho for the round.

Founded in 2020 by Choudhary, Keertay Agarwal and Yash Banwani, Bengaluru-based Seekho runs a short-video learning platform offering vernacular content across career, business and self-improvement categories. The company says it has 25 million monthly active users, with usage growing 60% each quarter.

“Learning should be relevant, bite-sized, and accessible in the palm of your hand. With Bessemer joining us, we’re excited to build a category-defining product that puts ‘Edutainment on Tap’ for the next 500 million Indians,” said Rohit Choudhary, founder of Seekho.

Seekho attributed its subscription growth to increasing consumer readiness to pay for digital content and wider adoption of UPI autopay. The company estimates it can capture a substantial share of India’s $2.5 billion subscription market.

For FY24, Seekho reported revenue of ₹11.5 crore and a loss of ₹4.6 crore. Financial results for FY25 are yet to be disclosed.
