CEO and Co-Founder, Mohammad Zeeshan stated, "MyCaptain is one of India's most popular online course platforms in these sectors. We'll utilize the capital to expand our course offerings, get more users, raise our revenue, and expand our workforce, which will include recruiting new people to help us achieve our goals. We're thrilled to be partnering with Ankur Capital and other investors who have expressed strong faith in our vision and team.
