Questt, a Gurugram-based edtech startup, has raised $6.75 million in a Series A round led by Celesta Capital and Premji Invest.

Existing investors, including AET Fund, Titan Capital, First Cheque and MarsShot Ventures, also participated in the funding round, with Chiratae Ventures increasing its shareholding.

With the freshly raised funds, the Gurugram-based edtech startup plans to expand its userbase and tech capabilities. Additionally, the startup is also looking to hire more experts.

This funding round comes only seven months after Gurugram-based Questt scooped up $1.35 million in a seed round, according to a release shared by the company.

Questt | Homework & Test App

Founded by Akhil Singh, Mohsin M, and Rohit Pande in December 2020, Questt is a homework and assessment app that is bridging the learning gap between teachers and students through AI-driven data.

The startup understands students learning patterns and lets teachers assign gamified homework to students. Questt presently has around two lakh students and 10,000 teachers on the platform.

Speaking on the development, Akhil Singh, Co-founder of Questt, said,

“As our nation recovers from the effects of the pandemic, some changes are imperative. Leveraging AI, we aim to drive real value and empower students and teachers. Regardless of where children are, they must have a meaningful and effective learning experience.”

As per Akhil, their homework and assessment app works in a way with students that they understand their mistakes, and over time, the app is able to understand their patterns.

Additionally, over time, the app replaces the need for expensive coursework and allows students to spend time upskilling, Questt claims.

Amid the pandemic, the edtech sector witnessed exponential growth, with schools closing down and people turning to online channels for education. In the calendar year 2020, the Indian edtech sector received an investment of $ 2.1 billion.
