The startup was initially launched as an educational YouTube channel, wherein it garnered around 2.5 million subscribers. Subsequently, it launched an application in association with Classplus that claims to serve over 200,000 students in about 500 cities and towns across the country. This is a first-of-its-kind strategic investment from Classplus.

Classplus, co-founded in 2018 by Mukul Rustagi and Bhaswat Agarwal, is a mobile-first software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that enables educators and content creators to build their online presence, digitize their offline education centres and monetize them as well.

In September 2022, the startup announced its maiden investment by acquiring a minority stake in the government exam preparation platform Testbook via a secondary transaction. Under the deal, it bought the shares of the Mumbai-based company’s current investors, Matrix Partners and Pivot Ventures. Classplus had raised $70 million as part of its Series D funding round, which was co-led by Tiger Global Management and Alpha Wave Global in March of the same year.
