Mesa School raises Rs 110 Cr for AI-first business curriculum
Mesa School of Business has raised Rs 110 crore in a funding round co-led by Dharana Capital and Elevation Capital. The startup, founded in 2023 by Ankit Agarwal and Varun Limaye, plans to use the capital to expand its AI-first curriculum, launch new programmes, and deepen partnerships with the startup ecosystem.
The round comes at a time when funding in the edtech sector has been uneven. Mesa’s focus on business education could appeal to professionals or entrepreneurs looking for alternatives to traditional programmes. Its emphasis on AI also aligns with broader industry discussions about how technology might reshape learning.
Details about Mesa’s curriculum are not yet widely available, but its pitch to investors likely centers on addressing gaps in business education for a tech-driven economy. The funding may also support efforts to collaborate with accelerators, incubators, or corporate training initiatives. Whether these partnerships will help it stand out in a competitive market is unclear.
Recent funding trends have favored AI infrastructure and vertical SaaS, but Mesa’s raise could signal interest in education models that treat AI as more than just a supplementary tool. Whether its approach will attract enough paying customers remains an open question.
