Speaking on the investment, Sushil Sharma, Founder & CEO - Marwari Catalysts, says,

"Even though the EdTech revolution in India is accelerating at a rapid pace, the mass consumer is still relatively untouched by the transformation that it can deliver. We aim to change that by supporting startups that can aid the development of education and thereby bring a revolutionary change in the startup ecosystem of tier-2, tier-3 cities, semiurban, and rural India. As a result, having a portfolio of 35+ startups, 30% of startups at MCats are EdTech. Today, this news of funding is also a vote of confidence further motivating us to keep raising the bar even higher by backing more of these relevant brands in the education sector. Also, we are delighted to see how EdTech startups like Law Prep Tutorial are combining their educational expertise with technology and helping thousands of aspirants in their preparation for CLAT/LSAT Exams."

Devesh Rakhecha, Founder & Director, Marwari Catalysts, added,

And we saw that Law Prep Tutorial has a long-term orientation and a strong alignment of vision. The startup is poised to become a national brand and top-level leader in the law entrance coaching market. The fresh capital will therefore multiply the startup's efforts to rapidly grow the online user base which will also further plug the massive gap for the Bharat students and investment in technology will set new benchmarks of learning and spark joy among students when getting selected in esteemed Law Universities across the nation. We are overall glad to be a partner with Law Prep Tutorial in their growth journey."
