As WizKlub’s model is highly scalable and monetizable, we strongly believe that they will create a great impact on Indian K6 education space," said Nao Murakami, Incubate Fund India, an early-stage VC fund of Japan. The startup has more than 150 centres in Bengaluru and has progressed more than 3000 children through its programs. “Supplemental education beyond curriculum is the greatest need in the Indian education system today and we are addressing this area with our research-based learning programs,” said Amit Bansal, CEO, WizKlub. “Our programmes are designed to help children become creators rather than passive consumers of technology.”
