ConveGenius raises Rs 6cr from Michael & Susan Dell Foundation

Education-tech company ConveGenius has raised Rs 6 crore from The Michael and Susan Dell Foundation to finance its expansion plans.
ConveGenius curates content from multiple high-quality companies like Mexus Education (Iken), StoryWeaver from Pratham Books, and Chipper Sage.
"We are excited to be backed by MSDF in our endeavours to reach 3 million children across India and other emerging markets by 2020, thus working towards bridging the gap between the availability and accessibility of good quality educational content," ConveGenius co-founder and CEO Jairaj Bhattacharya said.
With the current equity investment, ConveGenius plans to scale operations, build on existing archive of educational content by aggregating more content providers across various languages, and further strengthen technology for self-learning by building in intelligence and adaptivity, he added.

Founded in 2013, the company had been backed by Ashish Gupta (founder and Trustee of Ashoka University) and ex-COO and Global Head of Evalueserve in their seed and angel rounds apart from angels from Singapore, Malaysia and Australia.
