• CarDekho Group has made an additional investment to help CollegeDekho scale its education platform and strengthen its digital offerings.
• The company plans to grow its presence across tier-II and tier-III cities to reach more students seeking education and admission guidance.
• CollegeDekho aims to improve student outcomes by expanding skilling programs and aligning education pathways with job readiness.

CarDekho Group has invested an additional $10 million in Gurugram-based edtech company CollegeDekho, strengthening its long-term bet on the education and skilling sector. The investment was confirmed by the company and marks a follow-on funding round, as CarDekho was an early backer of the startup.

Founded in 2015, CollegeDekho runs a digital platform that helps students discover colleges, choose courses, prepare for entrance exams, and receive admission support. The platform serves students in India and abroad and works with more than 2,000 universities and colleges.

The fresh capital will support CollegeDekho’s plans to expand deeper into tier-II and tier-III cities, where demand for quality education guidance is growing. CarDekho currently holds about a 40 percent stake in the company.

Ruchir Arora, Founder and CEO of CollegeDekho, said the company has reached profitability and will use the funding to strengthen its product offerings and partnerships with educational institutions. He added that the focus will remain on improving student outcomes through technology, expanding skilling pathways, and closing the gap between education and employability.

The investment comes shortly after CarTrade Tech announced it had ended talks to acquire CarDekho and BikeDekho, both part of the CarDekho Group.

Amit Jain, Cofounder and CEO of CarDekho Group, said the continued investment reflects strong confidence in CollegeDekho’s mission to make quality education, guidance, and skilling accessible to students across India.

CarDekho achieved unicorn status in 2021 after raising $250 million at a valuation of around $1.2 billion.
