Online learning has become the norm as schools and colleges across India remain closed amid the coronavirus pandemic. Edtech startups such as BYJU'S, Vedantu, Toppr, Classplus, and others have received backing from existing and new investors during this time.
Toppr, which recently raised Rs 350 crore in Series D funding, claims to be hosting over one million sessions every day with more than 50,000 educators. The startup’s new school OS has around 55,000 learners.
Alongside the Series D funding round, led by Foundation Holdings with participation from existing investors, including Kaizen Private Equity, Toppr is now hiring across functions.
