Arivihan raises $10 million Series A from Accel and Prosus for AI tutoring

Arivihan, an Indore-based startup that offers AI-powered coaching for school students, raised $10 million in a Series A round led by existing investors Accel and Prosus, according to reports published on September 30 and October 1, 2026. Angel investors associated with GSF added about $200,000, and the reports put the company's total funding at more than $15 million.

Entrepreneur India reported that the money would fund expansion into new states and the CBSE board, work on AI research and vernacular language capabilities, and marketing and on-ground distribution. The platform provides interactive video lectures, doubt-solving and AI-driven study plans without live teachers. It serves students preparing for state board, CBSE and NEET examinations, with a focus on Class 12 learners in smaller cities and rural areas. A co-founder said about 80 percent of subscribers came from Tier 3 cities and rural India, and the company planned to deepen its presence in Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Bihar.

Entrackr had reported on September 25, citing regulatory filings, that the board approved a Series A share issue worth Rs 95.86 crore, with Accel and Prosus each investing Rs 47.48 crore. Entrackr estimated the valuation at about Rs 570 crore, up from Rs 171 crore in the previous round. The company had raised $4.17 million in a pre-Series A round in July 2025. Entrackr reported revenue of Rs 3.14 crore and a loss of Rs 4.45 crore for fiscal year 2025.
