English learning enabler OckyPocky raises funds from Goodwater Capital, Quant Fund
Gurugaon-based english learning platform for kids OckyPocky has raised funding from Goodwater Capital and AngelList Quant Fund. This is an extension to the funding the startup had announced in September 2021 from Udaan co-founder Sujeet Kumar and Hyderabad-headquartered SucSEED Innovation Fund. The firm will use the funds to add more vernacular languages to its platform. Currently, OckyPocky helps students learn English through Hindi and Marathi. It looks to add Tamil, Telugu, Punjabi, Malayalam, and Kannada to its platform. OckyPocky leverages natural language processing (NLP) to help kids between the ages of 2 and 8 years learn and speak English. It targets parents of small-town kids, who face challenges with spoken English. The platform also provides live classes to students and claims to clock roughly half a million monthly active users on its platform.
