Here is the Top 10 Edtech startup in India that is trying to fix India's fractured education ecosystem.10. InterviewBit

E-Learning Platform for student and working professional. It is started as a platform to coach students for interviews at Tech giants like Facebook, Google, and Amazon.

Recognizing the lack of coding skills among engineering college graduates, they introduced InterviewBit Academy, now called Scaler Academy in April of 2019.

Scaler Academy provides an immersive 6-month training program that helps its student to develop tech skills and also assist them to connect in the right companies.

InterviewBit is particularly interesting because students aren't charged a single penny until they have secured a job with a certain minimum salary.

In other words, they don't get paid until you get paid.

Today more than 4000 students have benefited from the scholar program and this number will continue to increase.

Thanks to the company's investors who have invested 20 million dollars into the edtech startup so far. This investor includes Sequoia Capital, Tiger Global and Global Founders Capital (GFC)
