Bhanzu’s innovative approach, which combines real-life applications and adaptive AI-driven learning, has been widely embraced by Indian parents and students. The platform’s interactive courses have spurred an 8X growth since its last funding round, alongside a significant increase in resubscriptions. Bhanzu’s adaptive methods make math engaging and accessible, equipping students with skills for both academic and everyday problem-solving.
