This investment is a testament of our product-market fit, scalability, impact and profitability of the business model. In the next 18 months Virohan will deepen its relationship with its stakeholders (students, universities/colleges and medical institutions), train over 10,000 students, and establish an international presence to cater to $100B+ global opportunity," said Kunaal Dudeja, co-founder and CEO, Virohan.

It works with over 1000 partners such as Fortis Escorts, 1MG, Dr. Lal Path Labs, Sarvodaya Healthcare, Healthians, etc to help students get internships and job offers. With this fundraise Virohan is aiming to expand to more than 200 new campuses Pan-India, and training more than 7000 students, claimed by the company in a statement.

“我们总是看到印度教育作为一个key engine of catalyzing the nation's development. Equally, education can also help leapfrog social classes and economic cohorts. Hence, we have consistently bet on education startups lowering barriers for access and expanding opportunities to all. This is why we are excited to partner with Virohan, for its ambition and mission to skill and upgrade the next hundred million Indians," said Sajith Pai, Blume Ventures
