English-language learning app enguru has raised funding from institutional and individual investors including Potencia Ventures, Bisk Ventures, LetsVenture, Ronnie Screwvala and Arihant Patni. Existing investor Dell Foundation also participated in the pre-series A round for the Bangalore-based startup that provides live English classes for young adults and children through its Android apps. This is the first direct investment in India for the two US-based investors - the impact investment-focused Potencia Ventures and early-stage VC firm Bisk Ventures. enguru claims to have over 200,000 monthly live class sessions with more than 18,000 classes and 200+ teachers. The new funds raised will be used to scale up the live class offering including the launch of a new enguru Kids app focused on conversational and reading classes for children in the age group 6-16. https://my
