We recently launched a brand new season of Propel – a global business accelerator for startups in India. First started in 2021, this program sits at the intersection of three key areas – startups, exports and technology adoption – all important for India as a nation. The program has already helped 70+ brands from different parts of India make their debut in global markets with many of them witnessing strong and consistent business growth.

Kreedo secures Rs 10 Cr debt funding from Recur Club: Edtech platform Kreedo Early Childhood Solutions has secured Rs 10 crore in debt funding from Recur Club, a prominent debt marketplace for startups and SMEs.  Kreedo had previously raised $4 million in Series A funding from Heritas Capital and UBS Optimus Foundation to enhance learning ecosystems. The proceeds will be deployed towards fuelling its growth and expansion plans, enhancing product offerings and scaling operations across India, Kreedo said in a press release. Co-founded in 2012 by Mridula Shridhar and Manikandan Krishnan, Kreedo provides a non-franchise solution for preschools and schools in India. Its curriculum is designed to help children develop literacy, numeracy, and other skills through play-based activities. The platform's curriculum is based on the idea that children learn best through a "Concrete to Abstract" or "Practical to Theory" approach. The curriculum combines indoor and outdoor games and toys to help children learn to explore and develop skills. According to the Bengaluru-based company, it focuses on improving education in over 350,000 affordable private schools across India, which cater to low-income families and charge less than Rs 30,000 annually. The company claims that it has demonstrated an impressive revenue growth rate of over 35% year-on-year for the past three consecutive years.  “It has been a pleasure working with Manikandan and witnessing Kreedo’s incredible growth journey over the past couple of years. Their intelligent approach to capital management has enabled them to hyperscale effectively while preserving significant equity.” said Eklavya Gupta, co-founder & CEO of Recur Club. Kreedo may compete directly or indirectly with other companies in this space are Kinderly, Seed Schools, Sudiksha Knowledge Solutions, Blue Blocks, Hello Kids amongst others.  Recur Club is a capital platform, enabling companies to raise debt capital tailored to their business needs with a dedicated capital expert. The platform aims to deploy Rs 2,000 crore in debt funding for startups and SMEs through Recur Scale and Rs 1000 crore to MSMEs through Recur Swift in this financial year. It has backed startups such as Ustraa, Rage Coffee, Moveinsync, Keka HR, Xoxodays, and others. It competes with other debt financing platforms like GetVantage, Velocity, and Klub. #EdTech #Funding #Startups
