▤ Summary

Skillsvest raised Rs 5.5 crore in a pre-seed round led by Plug and Play Ventures, with participation from angels and support from UC Berkeley SkyDeck and Launch Accelerator. The company runs an education financing platform that lets students repay only after they earn above a threshold. It targets Indian students pursuing international master’s programs and covers both tuition and living expenses. Skillsvest plans to use the capital to expand student financing, improve regulatory readiness, and grow partnerships. The startup says it has already deployed more than Rs 1.2 crore, built a waitlist of over 3,000 students, and signed up more than 4,500 college counsellors for distribution.
