College Dekho is founded by Ruchir Arora. CollegeDekho has helped over two lakh students gain admission into Indian colleges over the last seven years. It also partners with universities to offer skill-based degree programs. CollegeDekho, an online platform that helps students choose the right college, has raised Rs 30 crore (around $3.5 million) from Lighthouse Canton.
Earlier in December 2021, CollegeDekho closed a $35 million Series B round led by Winter Capital, ETS Strategic Capital, Calega, and Man Capital. With the latest fundraise, the company will enhance its technological infrastructure, expand its reach, and ensure seamless operations during the upcoming admission season. To strengthen its leadership, the company recently hired two experienced professionals. Arshad Mumtaz joined as chief operating officer of the retail business, bringing nearly 30 years of experience. Deep Prakash joined as Head of Sales—retail Business and GetMyUni, with over 20 years of expertise in sales and growth. As per report, CollegeDekho’s revenue from operations increased to Rs 216 crore in FY24 from Rs 163 crore in FY23. Its losses remained flat at Rs 129 crore in the last fiscal year.
