When I met Mukul and Bhaswat, I was completely amazed to hear what they are doing in the Edtech space. My takeaway was not only the rubbing effect of the energy of what they are building but the fact that everything is built and positioned around empowering Edupreneurs. I am super excited to step into the CFO role at Classplus and look forward to building on their momentum and strong business fundamentals.” said Aggarwal in a statement.

They raised $65 million in a Series C round led by Tiger Global, GSV Ventures, and Alpha Wave Global in June 2021.
