New Delhi (India), February 4: Devalaya eLearn, India’s most affordable skill education company reportedly raised its first funding at a capitalization of 240 million. The funding round was arranged by Alternate Investment Fund Zero-to-One. The startup has reportedly fundraised to meet the company’s growth in the early traction stage. As per the senior officer of investment firm Zero-to-One ‘after receiving regulatory body SEBI’s approval to set up an INR 300 Crore Category-I Alternative Investment Fund (AIF), the firm raised the fund for Devalaya eLearn in the unbelievably shortest time frame with the 100 percent successful ratio of contributor’s commitment’.
Devalaya eLearn was founded by a Chartered Accountant turned entrepreneur Dr. Dheeraj KS Sharma along with former Director General of Income Tax Mr. A K Tewary (who also served as Director in the office of Prime Minister of India for a long period) and other prominent former bureaucrats and renowned professionals. Devalaya eLearn has focused on skill education at an affordable price so that the gap between the young population and skilled youth can be addressed.
India has the largest young population in the world (580million+ aged between 5-24 years) but there are not sufficient Skill Development platforms and Innovative Education Techniques which can offer demographic leverage to India. To address these issues Govt. of India came up with National Education Policy 2020 which will make a drastic change in education patterns across the country. The online and offline options available so far are mostly engaged in curriculum-based teaching only and are still insufficient to address the need for innovation in education, technology-driven resource development, skill development etc.
Devalaya eLearn, has launched a unique product ‘The skill Enrichment Program’ that addresses the need of students and schools together. Whereas this program offers skill education and hobby education to students integrated with their academics, it offers capacity-building measurements to the school management too. Devalaya eLearn seems to enjoy the market advantages of its most affordable hybrid learning solutions with a wide range of learning options.
