What Avishkaar does

Avishkaar is an India-based EdTech company founded in 2008 that delivers STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) education products and curricula to children aged 5-15 and to the K-12 institutions that serve them. The core offering centers on DIY hardware kits covering robotics, coding, IoT and electronics, and mechanical design — the flagship Robotics Classroom Bundle includes over 400 parts supporting more than 500 robot configurations — paired with an online Learning Management System containing hundreds of structured projects. The company complements its kits with live online courses, microdegrees, and self-paced self-learn courses, and operates an online community platform (community.avishkaar.cc) where students share projects and participate in recurring global competitions including the IRC League, Makeathon, and Gaming League.

The business runs a hybrid go-to-market. On the consumer side, kits and courses are sold direct-to-consumer through shop.avishkaar.cc, with additional marketplace reach via Amazon (through the SMBhav accelerator) and Flipkart. On the institutional side, Avishkaar sells Robotics Classroom Bundles, end-to-end Tech Innovation Labs (materials, tools, infrastructure, setup), certified teacher training programs, and LMS access to K-12 schools, activity centers, and channel partners; these deals are quote-based, indicating a field-sales motion for larger contracts. Revenue is generated through hardware sales, recurring online-course subscriptions, one-time institutional licenses, and professional services for lab setup. The company claims reach across 30+ countries, 6,000+ partner schools, and 300,000+ registered young innovators, supported by partnerships with state governments (Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Sikkim, Tamil Nadu), Amazon, Flipkart, Intel, and Indian Institutes of Technology.

Avishkaar is privately held and venture-backed, having raised approximately Rs50 million (~$690K) in pre-Series A funding in June 2021 from Mumbai Angels, Auxano, and Supermorpheus, with an earlier 2018 seed round from Auxano. Founders Tarun Bhalla (CEO) and Rajeev Gaba (Co-founder & Product Head) remain in leadership, joined by COO Pooja Goyal. Headcount is reported in the 51-100 range, no revenue figure has been disclosed, and no subsequent priced round beyond the 2021 pre-Series A appears in the provided data, suggesting a measured rather than hyper-growth posture at this stage.
