Bhanzu, a global math learning platform founded in 2020 by the World’s Fastest Human Calculator – Neelakantha Bhanu, today announced that it has raised $15 million in Series A funding led by global investment firm, Eight Roads Ventures. Another global investor, B Capital, also invested in the round from its Ascent Fund. Bhanzu will utilise the funding to expand its business globally across multiple geographies, enhance its tech infrastructure to create a student learning experience, increase its workforce and strengthen its curriculum with outcome-focussed content.
The company offers learning programs in Mathematics for students between the age of 6-16 years and helps students become quicker & better at mathematics and builds the foundation for students to develop cognitive abilities. Bhanzu’s curriculum is curated by Neelakantha Bhanu after data collection and research over the span of over 4 years across the globe, which circles around questioning the very foundation of math learning by building a bottoms-up approach.
The company plans to expand its operations across multiple geographies to reach a larger number of students and to eradicate global math phobia among students where every student can learn and love math.
