Vedantu, a Bangalore, India-based provider of live virtual courses for students ages 12 to 18, has raised an additional $24 million to its Series C round, which now totals $66 million. GGV Capital led this latest infusion.
Founded in 2011, Vedantu has raised $82 million to date, according to TechCrunch. Some of Vedantu’s sessions are free while others require a subscription. The app has more than 75,000 paying subscribers and expects to pass 100,000 this year. A subscription can cost as much as $700 for long-term courses.
The funding will support the company’s efforts to expand its offerings into earlier grades, such as K-5, reports Tech in Asia, which adds that Vedantu claims it has more than 500 teachers serving students across 30 countries.
