Homeschooling edtech startup ClassMonitor has announced on Wednesday to have raised INR 3.5 crore as a part of its pre-Series A investment round from Indian construction company PATH India Ltd, UAE-based Calega family office investor group, and Sarvann, which is a group of Oman-based investors. The startup will use the fresh funds to build its presence across other nations and strengthen its content and technology for the end-users. With a mission to provide holistic learning experiences using DIY kits for preschoolers and help parents keep their children away from the screens, the company was founded by childhood friends Vijeet Pandey and Vikas Rishishwar in 2016. Started as a messaging platform for parents and teachers, ClassMonitor pivoted in 2018 to a hybrid early learning tool that marries offline learning with digital cues and rewards. Essentially, the startup built an O2O model in edtech.
