Two of InstaSolv founders Aditya Singhal and Nishant Sinha took an exit and went on to build a new venture -- ByteLearn. The startup plans to use the funds for product development, global expansion and enhancing technological capabilities.

Speaking on the partnership, Dr. PC Jaffer (IAS), Secretary to Govt (Expenditure), Finance Department, Karnataka Govt Secretariat, said, "In the current times, taking the risk of face to face training was out of question for us. It was imperative to find a solution that mirrors, but also has the same impact as the face to face training. Hence, we decided to choose Vedantu's platform, given its rich and interactive platform capabilities, to train and converse online with our COVID warriors across the state. We are glad as our training sessions are happening smoothly now and we continue our fight against COVID. "It is Vedantu's great honour to support doctors who are in the front line of the fight against the pandemic.
