Educational technology startup “ Tech Shiksha ” has recently announced that Complete financing of Rs.13 crore , from Mumbai Angel Network’s 24 investors invested.
Tech Shiksha is a startup in Mumbai, founded in 2014 by IIT-Bombay alumni Amit Modi. In addition, “Tech Shiksha” has been selected as “Top 10 Educational Technology Startups in India” by Edupreneur Village, an education risk fund.
“Witblox” is a product of “Tech Shiksha”, providing a plug-and-play hardware toolkit, providing game-based instruction for children aged 8-16, teaching The scope involves the STEAM field , that is, Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics.
Research shows that through book learning, students can only retain 10% of the intellectual memory of the books they read. Through the classroom learning mode, that is, through the discussion and lecture mode, students can remember 30% of what they have learned in class. However, while learning by hand, that is, when students do things, their learning efficiency increases to 90%.
Tech Shiksha believes that education should make students more hands-on, and students should have a platform to discuss, innovate and build new ideas. Therefore, “Tech Shiksha” created “STEAM Lab”.

Tech Shiksha says that the clever use of robot technology is the best way to teach science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to children . When designing robots, children learn about design, mechanics, electronics, and mathematics. In the design process, they need to use their imagination to make some design decisions, such as measurement decisions. In addition, the children have to perform related mathematical calculations and other tasks.
Through the “STEAM Lab” of “Tech Shiksha”, the company can allow children to adopt an exploratory learning method and continue to stimulate their curiosity, imagination and creativity.
“Tech Shiksha” designed a creative tool called “Witblox” that children use to build some other materials to stimulate children’s creative ability. “Witblox” is an electronic logic circuit block that kids can use to build any type of circuit project . Thousands of children in India are using “Witblox” to turn their whimsy into actionable projects.
Tech Shiksha will use the new funding from this round of financing to continue to expand its business and allow more students to enjoy their education services.
