Founded in early 2017, IndigoLearn.com provides online education for students pursuing CA and related courses in Finance and Accounting domains. It was founded by Sriram Somayajula, ex-VP Finance of Furlenco, Sathya Raghu, renowned CA faculty, Suraj Lakhotia who is an All India CA topper and Sarat Velumuri a techie from BITS Pilani.
“A significant portion of the current fund-raise will be used to reach a wider audience across the country, followed by product development and technology. We have made substantial investments in content development over last one year; in the coming year, we will be launching modules for several new subjects across various courses which will help us reach a much wider audience,” Suraj said.
The startup has so far launched over 700 hours of immersive, visual rich content covering subjects primarily for Students of CA Foundation and CA Inter. In next one year, IndigoLearn is planning to launch modules for CA Final, global professional courses and classes 11 and 12.
“IndigoLearn is attempting to disrupt a market that has not seen one for a long time. They have built an excellent product that clearly differentiates from the rest of the offline / semi offline players in this space,” Girish said.
Since its inception, the Company claims to have helped over 20,000 students across the country to prepare for their CA examinations and says that it has seen immense traction from Tier II towns as well. “We have students in over 300 non-metro locations. There is a large amount of inbound interest from students and parents in smaller towns, given their lack of access to high quality content,” Sriram says.
