Indian startup Toppr.com, which helps students prepare for entrance examinations, have reportedly scooped 10 million dollars from Fidelity Growth Partners India, SAIF Partners, and Helion Ventures.
Founded in 2013, the Mumbai-based firm helps students preparing for engineering and medical entrance exams, reported TechCrunch.
Co-founder Zishaan Hayath said that Toppr.com was founded with an aim to make entrance test preparations affordable for as many students as possible as schools did not offer adequate preparation for those who wanted to go for higher education. As a consequence, they had to turn to private coaching.
The firm claimed it already had 170,000 students on its platform, and hoped to push the number to five million by 2017. The platform is meant as a supplement to offline tutoring.
