Moat School, an edtech platform offering certified technology programs has recently announced its Pre Series A funding at an undisclosed amount for exponential business expansion and scalability plans. The investment round was led by a marquee investor Anurag Verma, a renowned boardroom strategist instrumental in driving and delivering growth for larger companies.

The edtech startup plans to deploy the raised capital in scaling its state-of-the-art tech stack and foraying into new products and markets. By bringing the corporate world into the classroom and vice versa, it envisions creating future tech and business leaders.

Talking about Moat School’s growth journey, Anurag Verma, the key investor said, “Moat School has built a strong tech product and platform which has resulted in good traction in a short period of time. Its growth is justified by the founders’ deep passion for affecting the lives of learners by consistently delivering high-quality lab-based programs taught directly by top corporate executives who have built great companies. It is strategically well positioned to acquire a bigger slice in the Indian EdTech pie with a scalable business model and positive bottom line.”

The platform claims that, in a short span, the platform has processed over 1000 applications with 24 per cent conversion to long-term courses. It receives over 2000 monthly student enquiries and has recently launched its 40th cohort with 425 students to keep up with its 70 per cent placement ratio and five-fold higher interview rate.
