Delhi-based EdTech startup, GuruQ has secured a further Rs 2.5 Cr ($330,000) round of funding from a group of HNIs. The company will use these funds for expansion, and marketing of the company.

GuruQ is a single, simplified and cohesive EdTech platform that provides online, and offline tutoring based on global quality parameters. The company was founded by Minal Anand in 2016.

Recently GuruQ, upgraded its platform with several innovative features to further ease the tutor finding process adding options like ‘Find the Right Tutor’ & ‘Post Your Tuition Need’, ‘Group Class’, ‘Customized packages’ for students and a user-friendly ‘Scheduler’ for tutors. Another new feature on the platform is ‘Instant Class’ that can be used when students have queries or doubts and need a quick class. This option allows students to book an instant class with their current tutor to be held within the next 6 hours.

The Pre-Series A funding will see GuruQ expanding its operations in Punjab and Haryana.
