Protrainy Secures Seed Funding to Revolutionize Engineering Education in India

Protrainy, an innovative ed-tech platform aimed at bridging the skills gap in India's engineering sector, has announced the successful closure of a seed funding round. This investment, spearheaded by IIMA Ventures, will propel the platform's efforts in enhancing content development and bolstering marketing strategies to attract a wider user base.

The platform was founded by Biswajit Shaw, who brings firsthand industry experience from his tenure at JSW.
