Mumbai-based edtech startup Eruditus has secured $150 million in a Series F funding round, maintaining its valuation at $3.2 billion post-money.

Other key investors in this round include SoftBank Vision Fund 2, Leeds Illuminate, Accel, CPP Investments, and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, with SoftBank injecting an additional $20 million.

According to Eruditus, the fresh capital will be directed toward expanding its operations in India and the APAC region, enhancing student experiences, and investing in AI-driven technology. The company also aims to explore new acquisitions and generate significant business growth.

Eruditus, through its brand Emeritus, offers a wide range of educational programs, including short courses, degrees, and professional certificates. These programs have reached over 350,000 individuals across more than 80 countries.
