Empowering Education for Bharat: Why Meteor Venture Backed Klassroom

Suniel Shetty With the Klassroom Founders

At Meteor Venture, we don’t just invest in startups — we back visionary founders solving India’s biggest challenges. One such rising star in our portfolio is Klassroom, an edtech platform redefining access to education for Bharat.

Klassroom isn’t chasing just another content or test-prep play. It’s reimagining hybrid learning for students in Tier 2, 3, and beyond — offering both online and offline coaching for board prep, competitive exams, and even vocational skilling. This isn’t edtech for the 1% — this is smart, scalable learning for the next 500 million.

Why We Invested:

• Massive Market, Underserved Audience: Klassroom is tapping into an audience that’s often overlooked — semi-urban and rural India. Their hybrid model breaks the urban-centric barrier most edtechs face.

• Strong Traction & GTM: With partnerships across 300+ schools, over 50,000 paid learners, and a network of offline centers, Klassroom has cracked the distribution game where others have struggled.

• Mission-Driven Founders: The team comes with deep passion for education and experience in building scalable operations. Their approach to community-building and impact aligns with our thesis of backing category creators.

• Affordable, Outcome-Focused: Klassroom keeps pricing accessible while focusing on tangible outcomes — from cracking NEET/JEE to government jobs and spoken English. This bridges aspiration and access.

The Meteor Thesis

As an early-stage, invite-only angel network, Meteor Venture is focused on highly vetted, boutique investments with breakout potential. Klassroom is a textbook example — a startup solving a deep, real India problem with innovation, grit, and clarity.

We believe the next decade of India’s growth story will be led by startups like Klassroom — companies that aren’t building for the elite, but for the masses.
