ProLearn Raises Rs.30 Crore Pre-Seed Round Led by BEENEXT to Build AI-Native Learning for Indian Students

Bengaluru : ProLearn, an AI-native learning platform focused on K-12 and competitive exam preparation, has raised ₹30 crore in a Pre-Seed funding round led by BEENEXT, with participation from Eximius Ventures, Antler, and several prominent angel investors.

The funding will be used to accelerate product and engineering development, strengthen ProLearn’s AI and reasoning infrastructure, expand curriculum-aligned content, hire senior talent across AI/ML, product, and growth, and scale go-to-market operations ahead of its public launch.

Founded in April 2026 by former Vedantu technology leader Ravneet Singh, ProLearn is building a conversational AI learning companion designed to make education interactive, adaptive, and personalised in real time. Unlike traditional online learning platforms built around recorded lectures, ProLearn’s AI tutor engages students through dialogue, explanations, questioning, and personalised feedback tailored to individual learning styles and pace.

The platform is being developed for both school education and India’s competitive exam ecosystem, including JEE, NEET, UPSC, CAT, and other structured test-preparation categories.

“Most online learning platforms still replicate the classroom on a screen, where students passively consume videos and practise questions in isolation. At ProLearn, we believe every student should have access to a personal tutor that understands how they learn, adapts in real time, and keeps them engaged throughout the learning journey. AI now makes that level of personalised education scalable and accessible for millions of students in India,” said Ravneet Singh, Founder & CEO, ProLearn.

India’s edtech sector is entering a new phase driven by AI adoption and demand for personalised learning experiences. According to IBEF, the Indian edtech market is projected to reach nearly USD 30 billion by 2030-31. As the sector shifts from growth-led models to outcome-driven platforms, ProLearn aims to address one of the biggest gaps in online education: the lack of individual attention and active engagement.

“We have a slightly heretical belief at ProLearn: education is not just a pedagogy problem, but also a psychology problem. Students learn best from someone they trust and connect with. An AI companion can build that relationship in a way recorded lectures never can,” Ravneet added.

Commenting on the investment, Saksham Pant, Principal at BEENEXT, said, “AI-based personalised learning has been attempted for years, but the technology has finally matured enough to create truly engaging and adaptive learning experiences. An AI tutor that listens patiently, understands learning levels, and makes education interactive and effective has the potential to transform outcomes for over 100 million students in India. Ravneet and his team combine deep technical expertise with strong understanding of the education ecosystem, making this an exciting opportunity for us.”

Pearl Agarwal, Founder & Managing Partner at Eximius Ventures, added, “Ravneet has firsthand experience of scaling EdTech during its highest-growth years and understands where the first generation of online learning platforms fell short. ProLearn is not simply another video-learning platform; it represents a fundamentally different approach to education. With over 250 million K-12 students in India, AI has the potential to finally deliver personalised learning at scale.”

Over the next 12 months, ProLearn plans to launch its flagship AI learning companion, expand subject and exam coverage, support additional Indian languages, and onboard its first large cohort of learners while demonstrating measurable improvements in engagement and learning outcomes.

In the long term, the company aims to become the default AI-native learning companion for Indian students, with plans to eventually expand into global markets.
