About

I'm a tech entrepreneur based in Bangalore, passionate about building products that positively impact millions of people every day. I’m building Seekho — a lifelong learning platform designed to make knowledge as engaging as entertainment. Our mission is to empower India’s next 500 million internet users with short, regional-language content across business, money, tech, and more. Think Netflix, but for learning. Backed by Elevation and Lightspeed, we’re scaling with a strong team and a bold vision. Before Seekho, I built consumer tech products at KukuFM and Next Education. Always happy to connect — Feel free to reach out at yashbanw@seekhoapp.com
