Therefore, 'EdTech' became the buzzword.This announcement today illustrates the growing phase of education startups in India as they report skyrocketing growth in the present scenario. And with the opening of new frontiers in the Indian Education sector that has paved the way for a comprehensive vision on education, Marwari Catalysts is contributing its bit by backing strong Edtech Startups such as Tinkerly that can bring this vision to action."We started Tinkerly to make kids creators instead of consumers of technology," the startup says in a statement.Further adding, "Prior to COVID-19, exposure to robotics or coding was limited to students studying in less than one per cent of total Indian schools.

We aim to change that by supporting startups that can aid the development of education and thereby bring a revolutionary change in the startup ecosystem of tier-2, tier-3 cities, semi-urban, and rural India. As a result, having a portfolio of 35+ startups, 30% of startups at MCats are EdTech.
