Edtech Edkasa, based in Lahore, has raised $320,000 in pre-seed funding. Walled City Co., Zayn Capital, and other big-name investors from Southeast Asia participated in the investment round, which was led by i2i Ventures.
Fahad Tanveer and Annum Sadiq, a husband and wife team, founded Edkasa in 2017 and have since transformed it into a textbook online-learning platform that provides a variety of courses and teaching services across Pakistan through web and mobile applications, reaching thousands of students and schools.
The mobile app includes over 4,500 video clips covering all aspects of physics, chemistry, math, biology, and English grammar. Edkasa also plans to add leaderboards that will show the best students in each subject. Over 15,000 questions have been created by Edkasa’s educators using past papers for the app.
A large part of the videos and quizzes available on the app are free, but students have two choices for full access: An Exam Bundle that allows them to access all of the subjects available on the app for PKR 3,599 per month, or a Single Subject package that allows them to access anything from one particular subject for PKR 899 per month.
