Short-form learning platform Seekho has raised $28 million in Series B funding led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with participation from Goodwater Capital and existing investors Lightspeed Venture Partners and Elevation Capital.

The funds will be used to build new experiences through new content formats and to leverage AI-first solutions.

Founded in 2020 by Rohit Choudhary, Keertay Agarwal and Yash Banwani, Seekho provides bite-sized, curated, vernacular learning content for Bharat. This content, delivered in 3-5 minute videos, focuses on practical knowledge for career and self-growth for example guidance on availing digital services, growing an Instagram/YouTube presence, improving business operations, language learning, and many more.

Rohit Choudhary, Founder, said: "At Seekho, our mission is to make learning fun and easy for everyone regardless of language, location or background. We believe learning should be relevant, bite-sized, and accessible in the palm of your hand. With Bessemer joining us on this journey, we're excited to build a category-defining product that puts 'Edutainment on Tap' for the next 500 million Indians. This funding will accelerate our vision of making learning as seamless as scrolling a feed - but with impact that lasts a lifetime."

Seekho currently has 25 million monthly active users, demonstrating a 60 per cent quarter-over-quarter growth, said the company in a statement. The platform targets tier-II cities and beyond, delivering content through short, episodic videos lasting two to five minutes.

Anant Vidur Puri, Partner at Bessemer Venture Partners, said: "The trifecta of 800 million+ smartphone users in India, each of them spending 7-8 hours a day, and frictionless online payments means that almost all aspects of life have moved to digital platforms - from buying groceries to financial transactions and now, with Seekho, education as well."
