CollegeDekho raises $2 mn from Man Capital

CollegeDekho, a edu tech company incubated by GirnarSoft, announced that it had raised $2 million in pre-series A funding from London-based Man Capital. The investment comes just four months after it raised $1 million from GirnarSoft.

CollegeDekho has a database of 22,000 colleges and connects students with colleges that would suit their interest areas. It also has a chat tool which helps students crowd source opinions based on former and present students.

"India is one of the important startup hubs of the world. We were on the lookout for an Indian venture that was not only a pioneer in its segment, but also had the potential to become a global leader. We believe that CollegeDekho.com, with its tech-oriented approach and disruptive impact on the country's higher education landscape, ticked all the right boxes," said Loutfy Mansour, CEO, Man Capital.

Man Capital is an investment arm of Mansour Group. The CollegeDekho.com funding marks the firm's first foray in the Indian startup industry.
