Seekho Raises $28M Series B Led by Bessemer, Hits 25M Monthly Users

Seekho, an Indian short-form edutainment video platform founded in 2020, has raised $28 million in a Series B funding round led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with participation from Goodwater Capital and existing investors Lightspeed Venture Partners and Elevation Capital. The Bengaluru-based startup offers 3-5 minute bite-sized videos in vernacular languages such as Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and plans to add Kannada, Bangla, and English, covering topics from business, finance, and technology to personal growth. Seekho currently has 25 million monthly active users, growing 60% quarter-over-quarter, and leverages the rising smartphone user base and UPI autopay adoption in India to expand its subscription economy presence. The funding will be used to develop new interactive content formats powered by artificial intelligence to create personalized and engaging learning experiences. Seekho aims to expand its content categories from 15 to 25-30, and is preparing for global expansion, including entry into the US market within the next two to three quarters. Despite competition from social media giants like YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels, Seekho has demonstrated rapid revenue growth and is focused on making learning accessible and impactful for a diverse audience.
