“We’re going to use this new round of capital to double down on our efforts to connect students all over the world with India’s exceptionally well-qualified and dedicated teaching talent. Lido was the first in the country to recognise the power of learning in small groups while being enabled by technology for faster learning and success. We now want to take it to the rest of the world.”
