Suraasa Secures $6 Mn From Reach Capital, ETS Capital, Others
Company aims to revolutionise global teacher workforce development and international mobility
Suraasa, a platform for teacher workforce development and global teacher mobility, has raised USD 6 million in a funding round led by Reach Capital, with participation from ETS Capital, NB Ventures, TSM ventures, TRTL Ventures and other prominent strategic investors.
This investment will significantly accelerate Suraasa’s mission to enhance teacher quality, equip educators with global-standard skills, and facilitate their integration into diverse educational systems worldwide.
Suraasa’s founder, Rishabh Khanna, emphasised the importance of this new partnership, and said, “The global shortage of qualified teachers is a critical challenge, and solving it requires innovation and a deep commitment to the future of education. We are excited to welcome Reach Capital, ETS, and other strategic partners who share our vision of empowering teachers and transforming education systems globally. These partnerships are a testament to the impact we are creating, and together, we will accelerate the movement toward a world where teachers are equipped to thrive in any classroom, anywhere.”
The company said that it works closely with schools across borders to understand their specific hiring requirements, then matches highly skilled Indian teachers with these schools, ensuring both parties’ needs are met. By combining upskilling with teacher recruitment solutions, Suraasa said that it ensures teachers are prepared for global challenges and connected to opportunities in schools globally.
Jennifer Carolan, Managing Partner, Reach Capital, said, “Schools in the U.S. and all over the world are facing acute teacher shortages, which Suraasa is addressing by training a global teacher workforce. Reach was drawn to Suraasa for this reason and was excited to invest when we observed how the team respects, celebrates and dignifies the teaching profession. Through training, placement and continuing education, Suraasa is a teacher-first organisation that values the complex and important work of educating future generations.”
