Arivihan, an AI-driven edtech startup, raised $10.2 million in a Series A funding round co-led by Accel and Prosus Ventures, the company announced. The round included $10 million from these two investors and $200,000 from angel investors linked to accelerator GSF. Founded in 2022 by IIT Roorkee alumni, Arivihan plans to use the funds to expand across India and enhance its AI tutoring platform.
The Indore-based startup offers a fully automated AI tutoring platform for school students, focusing on Class 12 students in tier-II and tier-III cities and rural areas. Its platform delivers interactive video lectures, doubt resolution, and personalized study plans without human teachers. The company aims to launch new offerings for CBSE students and strengthen its vernacular language capabilities, performance marketing, and on-ground distribution, according to inc42.com.
Accel’s Anagh Prasad highlighted that Arivihan’s AI tutor demonstrates the potential of personalized online education to match the effectiveness of expensive in-person coaching. The startup currently caters to state board, CBSE, and NEET aspirants, serving several lakh students preparing for critical exams. The funding round underscores growing investor interest in AI-powered education platforms targeting underserved markets in India.
The $10.2 million Series A round includes contributions from angel investors Dinesh Chandra Agrawal, Dinesh Gulati, and Rajesh Sawhney, associated with GSF. Arivihan’s next steps involve scaling its geographical reach and product offerings, aiming to deepen penetration in tier-II, tier-III, and rural regions.
