MA not only helped me raise funds seamlessly, it connected me to its vast network of Investors across cities in India. With these funds, we plan to bring about significant changes in our strategy.
Mumbai Angels Investor, Aditya Sanghi said
I am happy to be associated with the next phase of growth of Witblox. While helping children learn by building is rewarding in itself, I think this is a great team with potential to build a big business. To make it big, business needs a motivated passionate team propelled by a purpose catering a growth market. I think Witblox has the right ingredients and it is time to execute heads down.

A lot of people I meet want kids to be learning fast without using iPad and other gadgets. This is a perfect way to make your kids grow smart with real experiential learning and I’m glad to back WitBlox to achieve this.
