Edtech startup Uolo has raised $7 million in a new funding round aimed at accelerating its partnerships with private schools across India, according to a report titled “Edtech Startup Uolo Bags $7 Mn to Expand School Partnerships,” published by Startup News FYI.
The funding, which comes in the form of a Series A round, was led by Blume Ventures, with participation from existing investors. Uolo has positioned itself as a technology partner to K-12 schools, offering learning and communication platforms that help integrate digital solutions into traditional classroom settings. The company currently works with more than 8,500 schools and claims to reach over 3 million students and parents through its platform.
Founded in 2013 by Pallav Pandey and Gaurav Munjal, Uolo focuses on creating tools that bridge the gap between schools and families. Its offerings include mobile apps that allow teachers to upload content, track performance, and communicate seamlessly with parents, as well as curriculum-linked learning modules in core subjects. The startup’s approach emphasizes scalability and light infrastructural requirements, making its solutions accessible even to mid- and low-tier private schools lacking extensive digital infrastructure.
The latest capital infusion will be used to deepen Uolo’s footprint in India’s fragmented school network and to expand its suite of product offerings for educators. In a statement, Pandey underscored the increasing relevance of edtech services that deeply integrate into school operations rather than operate as siloed platforms.
The investment comes at a time when the Indian edtech sector is recalibrating after a period of volatile growth and consolidation. With heightened scrutiny over sustainable business models and student outcomes, Uolo’s school-centric approach and steady user engagement metrics could offer a more stable path forward in an evolving market.
Blume Ventures, an early-stage investor with a portfolio that includes several education-focused startups, signaled confidence in Uolo’s model, pointing to the startup’s strong distribution channel through schools and the growing demand for tech-enabled teaching tools beyond Tier 1 cities.
As digital learning continues to reshape classroom instruction in India, stakeholders are watching closely to see which platforms can build lasting partnerships with schools while maintaining educational quality and affordability. Uolo’s latest funding round suggests that its hybrid model of embedding edtech solutions within school ecosystems may be gaining traction among both investors and educators.
