Every student on Lido has a unique learning journey with 1:6 tutorials and customized homework, with their own academic mentor.

“The first time I met the Lido team, I realized this is not just another startup, but a strong team with a united vision to provide every Indian family with equal and better quality education that they deserve,” said Benny Chen, Managing Partner at BAce Capital. “In just a couple of months, Lido has built a community of students, tutors and parents leveraging its technology to make education more accessible, and improve the interaction between students and tutors significantly through measuring learning results.”
“We are excited for this next stage of growth, as online tutorials are going to take off in a big way in India. With high-speed internet penetration, the tech infrastructure is ready; and as more students and parents experiment with online learning in the current pandemic, the customer mindset is ready“, said founder and CEO, Sahil Sheth. “At Lido, we want to make sure the online tutorial experience is significantly better than what you can get offline. That is why from day one we have been focused on building extreme personalization for every student’s needs, with AI and advanced analytics, while still keeping the fun of going to tuition classes with friends, and having a teacher in a small group format who motivates and coaches. Our vision is to build 250 million unique learning journeys for 250 million unique Indian students, and we are constantly striving to get there.”
Lido is BAce Capital’s first ed-tech investment in India, as part of a strategy to continue investing in early stage companies in emerging economies, focusing on India and Southeast Asia.
