Learning Matters, a Bengaluru based ed-tech company that uses Artificial Intelligence and voice technology to reinvent teaching and learning has received funding from Lavni Ventures and a group of angel investors. The company will use the capital to accelerate development of its flagship ed-tech solution ‘Tara’ – a virtual voice teacher – as well as to accelerate its marketing initiatives across India.
Founded by G.

“At Lavni Ventures, we invest in startups that create significant social impact by breaking the barriers to equitable access to technology and expertise in a sustainable manner. We are delighted to invest in Learning Matters which delivers affordable technology-assisted teacher training and English language skilling for students,” said Mr. Vasu Guruswamy, Partner and Co-founder of Lavni Ventures. “We look forward to working with the passionate team of Learning Matters to strengthen the educational foundation and improve learning outcomes at scale in government and private unaided schools,” he added.
