SuperKalam, a pioneering AI-led personal mentor for students preparing for competitive exams, has concluded a seed round, raising $2 million (INR 16.3 crore). YCombinator and Fundersclub spearheaded the funding round, with a strong show of support from notable investors, including YC Partner Puneet Kumar, GoodWater Capital, Nurture Ventures, SuperCapital, and Pareto Ventures. This collective backing underscores the strength of SuperKalam’s vision and its potential to revolutionize education.
Founded in July 2023 by Vimal Singh Rathore and Aseem Gupta, SuperKalam aims to revolutionize education by leveraging Artificial Intelligence to provide personalized guidance and support for competitive exams. Unlike traditional EdTech platforms that rely on one-size-fits-all content delivery, SuperKalam places students at the centre of a unique learning experience. The platform adapts to each student’s unique needs by utilizing AI-driven analytics, offering tailored learning paths, instant doubt resolution, and progress tracking. This ensures that students receive the right support at the right time, making their preparation more engaging and effective.
Expressing his enthusiasm about the investment, Cofounder & CEO of SuperKalam, Vimal Singh Rathore, said:
We are excited to have iconic investors join us in our mission to rethink learning in an AI-first world. At SuperKalam, we are committed to leading this change by transitioning from unilateral content broadcasts to delivering personalized learning that adapts to each student’s unique needs.
With its headquarters in Bengaluru, Karnataka, the firm acts as a GPS for students’ educational journey, offering detours through subjects they have yet to learn while also emphasizing the suggested route and important stops. Since its inception, SuperKalam has made notable strides in transforming the educational landscape with its cutting-edge technology and student-centric approach. It currently has over 60,000 students and continues to redefine educational paradigms by providing students with tailored mentorship and support through groundbreaking AI technology.
Boris Silver, Founding Partner at Fundersclub, added:
We are always looking for ventures that can create significant value for customers. India’s edtech market is full of opportunity, and in SuperKalam, we see the potential for significant impact. We believe the founding team has strong experience in the market, and their product has tremendous potential.
With this funding, SuperKalam plans to enrich its AI-led educational platform further, expand its reach, enhance user experience, and foster continuous innovation in personalized learning services.
