Expressing his views on the funding, Ishan Gupta, Co-founder of Qin1, added, “Qin1 creates a customized learning experience for each student – in terms of teacher selection, course design and medium of delivery. We are thrilled to partner with Venture Catalysts in building Qin1. While EdTech penetration has grown significantly in recent years, focus on Kids in primary and pre-primary schools is missing. This presents an untapped opportunity for Qin1. This investment will help us expand our unique personalized live class offering to millions of children in India.”
Venture Catalyst’s investment in Qin1 comes at a time when the EdTech sector is poised for rapid growth. As educational institutes remain closed due to the COVID-19 outbreak, students and teachers have shifted online. Given these circumstances, EdTech companies will likely be amongst the biggest beneficiaries of the pandemic.
