Instrucko, a one-to-one language learning platform, recently closed a $1 million seed round. The round was led by MVK Group, a venture capital firm based in London that manages some of the most powerful business families in Dubai, Singapore, London, and Switzerland, who also executed the investment.

This is a continuation of the December seed round.

The funds raised will be used to expand the company's operations in India and the Middle East, with a primary goal of providing children aged three to 15 with global access to premium content.

The world's first live one-on-one language learning platform that focuses on emotional intelligence and critical thinking. iNSTRUCKO is a live English language learning platform that provides live content from teachers trained at Oxford, Cambridge, IIM, and other IVY League universities.

Devvaki Aggarwal, Founder and CEO, instrucko said, “instrucko prides itself on creating superior content to improve the learning pedagogy. Our focus has always been on great content and great teaching while technology has only been an aggregator. Our mission is to equip learners with the skills needed to succeed globally. This funding will help us expand, create more content, and focus on technology and AI-powered analytics.”

Instrucko, which was founded in July 2020, specialises in teaching English, French, Spanish, Mandarin, German, Hindi, Public Speaking, and Creative Writing to children aged three to fifteen. Live classes at instrucko are taught by teachers from India as well as native speakers.

The startup's business-to-business segment, which was founded in the United Kingdom and has offices in London, Mumbai, and Delhi, claims to be in high demand in schools across India and the Middle East.

These schools use instrucko's content and teacher training courses, as well as EtonX's certified and specialised courses. EtonX's courses are designed to assist teenagers in gaining admission to prestigious universities.

Manish Karani, CEO of MVK Group VC firm, added, “After investing and exiting multiple consumer brands over the past few years, we were excited to be given the opportunity to invest in instrucko, who we strongly believe brings the highest quality of education to the Indian market.”

“The edtech market has seen a lot of ’noise’ since COVID-19, with many brands purely launching services just to capitalise on the sudden move to online education. instrucko has been unique in this regard by focusing on bringing content and its delivery, which is more suitable for the global marketplace versus the local marketplace, and thus giving each one of their customers an edge over their peers,” Manish added.
