Gaurav Gulati, Head and CIO, Aroa Ventures, who led the round, added, “Robotics and advanced sciences continue to play a crucial role in our society.

Our ‘Learning by building’ methodology, which is focussed on practical learning while doing experiential projects, has meant that students are deeply engaged throughout the curriculum. Our platform also enables a new set of educators who enjoy STEM teaching by connecting them with students around the globe.”
