Immersive Labz, an EdTech enterprise giving digital 3D science laboratory employing immersive know-how, has raised $600,000 from a group of buyers led by ah! Ventures.
Other buyers include things like serial angel traders and networks, and other Large Internet Worth People today.
Launched in 2021, Immersive Labz presents digital 3D science labs to faculties, faculties, and hospitals. It features two products and solutions: Simulab (virtual 3D science labs on cellular/Computer system for grades 9 to 12) and Cadaviz (human-size virtual 3D Cadaver dissection table for health care schools).
Immersive Labz is on a mission to empower and encourage science pupils to master and innovate by means of virtual labs and aims to make sensible science finding out obtainable, very affordable, and participating by means of virtual labs. There is presently no player in the market place which is delivering virtual science labs in a 3D interactive simulation.
Alongside with Simulab for educational institutions and faculties, Immersive has also released an extension of Simulab’s human anatomy – Cadaviz – for medical faculties and hospitals. Medical colleges are facing a difficulty of serious cadaver shortage (<10% availability of required cadavers) for human anatomy study for MBBS students. The grave situation is leading to many sub-optimal choices by medical colleges like procurement of human anatomy videos at extremely high prices. Given this market situation, Cadaviz (an interactive virtual human dissection table) has got a big acceptance in the market.
On how he started his journey, Navin Mandal, Co-founder of Immersive Labz, said,
“Having built high quality AR/VR products for large corporations, I could understand the power of technology in solving difficult problems at scale. Having personally experienced the problems in science practical learnings, I always knew that a gamified virtual lab can address the problem of engagement and accessibility (at 1/10th the cost of physical lab). Acting on our long-held belief, we started Immersive Labz when there is a clear trend towards mass adoption of virtual teaching methods.”
Immersive claims to have sold 1,600 licenses to colleges in Pune (on a pilot basis alone) and entered into an agreement for 40,000 licenses with two large chains of education institutes (with more than 45 and 17 centres respectively). In the next 12 months, it aims to sell 1.25 lakh licenses and generate revenue of more than Rs 20 crore.
Amit Kumar, Senior Partner – ah! Ventures, said,
“Practical science education is considered one of the biggest challenges across the world. This problem is even more pronounced in India where more than 90% of science students don’t have labs access. And paltry 10%, who have find it unengaging. I liked the way Immersive is addressing both through their tech product which is not only of very high quality (true to life lab experience) but also very engaging. The strong traction of the product is a testimony of the product quality.”
Abhijeet Kumar, Co-Founding Partner – ah! Ventures, added,
“We have recently witnessed an accelerated shift towards the use of technology in education due to COVID-19. However, the usage of technology for practical science education has still a long way to go. Immersive as the early mover in the market has the potential to quickly scale the business to meet the unmet desire in the phase. Immersive has already demonstrated the potential to scale by advertising a sizeable variety of licenses through the pilot phase alone and creating a pipeline of 40,000 licenses by moving into into big tie-ups. Their solid execution keep track of record will make certain large profitability and valuations. We are energized to function with Immersive and glimpse ahead to functioning closely with them in the coming months.”
