CarDekho Group has invested $10 million (approximately ₹90 crore) in its edtech subsidiary CollegeDekho, marking a significant follow-on investment to strengthen its presence in non-metro markets.The group currently holds around a 40% stake in the Gurugram-based education platform.
Founded in 2015 by Ruchir Arora, Saurabh Jain, and Rohit Saha, CollegeDekho operates an online platform that helps students discover colleges and courses, prepare for entrance tests, and navigate admissions in India and overseas. The platform has partnered with over 2,000 universities and colleges and enables these institutions to offer skill-based online courses in streams including humanities, management, computer science, and design.
The fresh funding will be used to expand CollegeDekho’s presence in Tier II and III cities and scale its ‘CollegeDekho Assured’ programme, which connects students with industry-aligned degree courses offered by partner universities. The company has achieved profitability and last year recorded nearly 170 million sessions while guiding more than 4 million students through admissions.

Ruchir Arora, Founder and CEO of CollegeDekho, stated that the funding strengthens their commitment to building an inclusive, future-ready education ecosystem that equips India’s youth with the right skills, guidance, and access to meaningful career opportunities.
The investment reinforces CarDekho Group’s strategy of building classified-led digital marketplaces beyond its core automobile business.
