How Doubtnut makes Students Independent.

Doubtnut is an Indian educational app started by Tanushree Nagori and Aditya Shankar. Doubtnut is available as an Android application on Play Store or by accessing its official website. Doubtnut is available as an Android application since its inception in 2017, Doubtnut is leveraging technology to help every student with instant answers and explanations to all their study questions. With 2 million questions answered daily in various languages, Doubtnut promises to bring education to each and every kid in every city, village, and town irrespective of their demographics and economic conditions. Three million students ask two million questions and watch six million videos on Doubtnut every day, making it one of India’s largest education apps in terms of the number of daily users.

The platform uses image recognition technology to provide solutions to several math and science questions. To find a solution to your question, you’ll need to upload an image that represents your question. The app extracts the text from the images, records the video solution, and then tries to match it with the answered questions in the database. If a match is found, the results are provided to the user. Otherwise, users are encouraged to make their questions public so that tutors available on the platform can provide videos explaining the questions.

Doubtnut received its first funding of US$100K from Ankit Nagori of Cure.fit in April 2017.
In 2019, Omidyar Network and WaterBridge invested about $470,000. In January 2020, the company raised $15 million in a Series A round of funding from Tencent Holdings, and existing investors Sequoia Capital and Omidyar Network India.
