The amount raised will enable Questt to increase its user base and add more features to its app and hire talent.
By leveraging data sciences and tech, Questt aims to build an Education Data Stack that empowers the ecosystem making learning more value-driven and data-rich.
“The current system asks teachers and students to invest a huge amount of time without yielding significant output and this is what we are trying to solve at Questt. We are building an Education Data Stack to empower teachers with deep insights that allow for a more customized and effective learning experience,” said Akhil Singh, co-founder of Questt.
