Seekho, an OTT platform that focuses on education, has raised $8 million in its Series A round of funding, with Lightspeed leading the investment, as per a LinkedIn post by CEO and founder Rohit Choudhary.

Elevation Capital also participated in the round. Prior to this, in March of last year, the Bengaluru-based startup raised $3 million from Elevation and other investors.

Choudhary stated via a Linkedin post, "This is a testament to the trust our users, team, and investors place in us as we build India's go-to short video platform for Lifelong Learning."

Although the business did not disclose many specifics regarding the round, it was anticipated to be worth approximately $45 million.

Seekho, which was founded in 2020 by Choudhary, Keertay Agarwal, and Yash Banwani, assists people in learning new skills and information. The website provides a range of courses to help students get ready for careers in teaching, parenting, investing, Instagram, and other industries.

With a focus on tier-II cities and beyond, Seekho produces episodic series of brief (2–5 minute) videos that provide educational content. The platform offers a range of flexible subscription plans, with prices starting at Rs. 149 for both weekly and monthly usage.

Following the pre-Series, A round, Elevation Capital reportedly acquired nearly a 24% stake in the company, according to startup data intelligence platform TheKredible. As of that round, each of the three co-founders owned 16.65% of the company.
