Seekho’s Innovative Growth in India’s EdTech Sector

Seekho, an emerging player in India’s EdTech sector, has successfully raised $28 million, marking a refreshing change amid a funding downturn that has seen the industry attract only $200 million in Q3 2025, down from nearly $6 billion during the pandemic. This funding round was led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with contributions from Goodwater Capital and existing investors such as Elevation and Lightspeed.

While the Bengaluru-based company has not revealed its valuation or shareholding structure, an analysis by Startup Superb of regulatory filings provided insight into the funding specifics. Seekho issued 4,938 Series B compulsory convertible preference shares at an issue price of Rs 4,86,036 each, accumulating Rs 240 crore or $28 million, as per its filing with the Registrar of Companies (RoC).

Bessemer Venture Partners took the lead with an investment of Rs 98.9 crore ($11.5 million), followed by Goodwater Capital, which invested Rs 69.4 crore ($8 million). Other existing participants included Lightspeed Venture Partners and Elevation Capital, which respectively invested Rs 23.3 crore and Rs 4.6 crore, while Reed India Consulting made a smaller contribution of Rs 2 crore.

Valuation Surge of Seekho

According to estimates by Startup Superb, Seekho’s valuation has increased impressively, rising 4.6 times to approximately Rs 1,540 crore ($180 million) post-money.
