OckyPocky, a Gurugram-based English learning platform for kids, has raised funding from Silicon Valley-based Goodwater Capital and Naval Ravikant-backed Quant Fund.

This round is an extension to the funding the startup had announced in September 2021 from Udaan co-founder Sujeet Kumar and Hyderabad-headquartered SucSEED Innovation Fund.

As per the startup, the raised funds will be used to grow its platform distribution and add more vernacular languages to its platform. Currently, OckyPocky helps students learn English through Hindi and Marathi. The startup also plans to add Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada to its platform.

OckyPocky | English Learning App

Founded by Amitt Agrawwal, the former Youtube India head, OckyPocky is an interactive English learning app for preschool kids that gives instant feedback powered by voice, video, and the best teachers in India.

The startup leverages natural language processing (NLP) to help kids between the ages of 2 and 8 years learn and speak English. It targets parents of small-town kids who face challenges with spoken English.

Speaking on the development, Amitt Agrawwal, Founder of OckyPocky, said,

“The present funding opens us up to the funds in Silicon Valley and gives us a newer perspective through a new channel of investors. English is the biggest gatekeeper for admissions and jobs for the middle class. Since its inception, OckyPocky has been on a mission to empower children and help them master English with the right learning tools.”

OckyPocky is on a mission to change the way 160+ million Indian kids learn English. It provides live classes to students and claims to clock roughly half a million monthly active users on its platform.

OckyPocky is targeting 1 million monthly active users (MAU) by FY23 while adding to its languages and NLP capabilities. The Gurugram-based startup is also piloting different revenue streams, including offering a premium version of its learning app.
