ProLearn secures ₹30 Crore for Personalised AI Learning Education
ProLearn, an AI-native learning platform building a real-time interactive learning companion for India’s K-12 and competitive exam students, announced on June 2 in Bengaluru that it has raised ₹30 crore in a Pre-Seed funding round led by BEENEXT, with participation from Eximius Ventures, Antler, and several notable founders and operators as angel investors.
The funds will be used to accelerate product and engineering development, strengthen the company’s underlying AI and reasoning infrastructure, expand curriculum-aligned content, hire senior talent across AI/ML, product, and growth, and scale go-to-market efforts ahead of the company’s public launch.
Founded in April 2026 by Ravneet Singh, a former Vedantu technology leader, ProLearn is rethinking online learning around one core idea: students learn better when learning feels interactive, personal, and adaptive in real time. The company is building an AI-native learning companion, a conversational tutor that listens, explains, asks questions, adapts to each learner’s pace, and helps students actively work through concepts instead of passively watching recorded lectures.

The platform is being built for both K-12 learning and India’s highly competitive entrance exam ecosystem, including JEE, NEET, UPSC, CAT, and other structured test preparation categories.
“Most online learning products today still replicate the classroom model on a screen, where students passively watch videos, solve questions, and largely learn alone. The idea behind ProLearn is simple: every student should have access to a personal tutor who understands how they learn, adapts in real time, and helps them stay engaged throughout the journey. We are focused on leveraging the best of AI to make education genuinely interactive and scalable. That kind of personalised attention has historically been expensive and inaccessible to most students in India. We are determined to change that,” said Ravneet Singh, Founder & CEO, ProLearn.
India’s education sector is entering a new phase of transformation, driven by advances in AI, growing digital adoption, and increasing demand for personalised learning experiences. According to IBEF, India’s edtech market is projected to reach nearly USD 30 billion by 2030-31. At the same time, the sector is moving away from growth-led models towards platforms that can demonstrate sustained engagement, trust, and measurable learning outcomes.
Despite the scale achieved by the first wave of edtech platforms, much of online learning remains passive, with students consuming videos and attempting tests with limited individual attention. ProLearn believes AI can fundamentally change that equation by enabling learning experiences that are conversational, adaptive, and designed around the student.

The funding comes at a time when India’s edtech sector is being reassessed after the post-pandemic correction. Against this backdrop, ProLearn is entering the market with a clear focus on paving the way for the next phase of India’s edtech sector, one defined by AI-native learning principles, deeper student engagement, and measurable learning outcomes.
“We have a slightly heretical belief at ProLearn: education is not only a pedagogy problem, but it is also a psychology problem. A student makes a friend first and learns from that friend second. Get the relationship right, and the learning takes care of itself. That is what an AI companion can do in a way that a recorded lecture never will,” added Ravneet Singh.
Commenting on the investment, Saksham Pant, Principal, BEENEXT, said, “While multiple attempts have been made at AI-based personalised learning in the past decade, it wasn’t possible to build a truly great product until now. An AI tutor that patiently listens to you, understands your learning level, and makes learning interactive, fun & retentive. Such a product, delivered at an affordable price point, has the potential to improve the learning outcomes of more than 100 million students in India. The team led by Ravneet is quite passionate about the problem statement, which, coupled with their deep understanding and experience in the education sector, makes this a very exciting opportunity for us.”
“At Eximius, we back founders who understand a problem deeply enough to rebuild it from scratch, and Ravneet is exactly that founder. Having scaled Vedantu’s engineering through its highest-growth years, he knows where the first wave of EdTech fell short and why. ProLearn isn’t a better Edtech-video platform; it’s a fundamentally different learning experience. India has over 250 million K-12 students, the majority of whom have never had access to personalised education. AI finally makes that possible at scale, and we are proud to back Ravneet and the ProLearn team as they build towards that vision,” said Pearl Agarwal, Founder & Managing Partner, Eximius Ventures.
Over the next 12 months, ProLearn plans to launch its flagship AI companion for students, expand subject and exam coverage, support additional Indian languages, and onboard its first large cohort of learners while demonstrating measurable improvements in engagement and learning outcomes. The company believes this shift will be particularly relevant in India, where high-stakes examinations continue to shape educational outcomes and where millions of students across Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets increasingly rely on mobile-first learning tools.
In the long term, ProLearn aims to become the default AI-native learning companion for Indian students, with ambitions to reach millions of learners and expand globally over time.
