InterviewBit raises $20 mn in Series-A round from Sequoia, Tiger Global

The edtech start-up is addressing the problem of the employability of Indian engineers, which continues to be as low as 20 per cent

InterviewBit, an edtech start-up, said it has raised $20 million in a Series-A funding round, led by Sequoia India and Tiger Global, and with participation from other investors. The firm provides Scaler Academy, an advanced online computer science programme for college graduates and young software engineers.

The firm will use the funds to scale up the enrollment of students and launch in new markets. It would also invest in the curriculum and live teaching product to enhance the student-teacher experience.
