"The funding is the result of the hardwork of our entire team and is a testimony to the fact that our work is well received and appreciated. We wish to continue with our efforts and touch the lives of more children and caregivers. The education that we are able to impart in the community is our true reward, and we are constantly trying to innovate and engage with more people. This capital will go a long way in helping us to do so, and we are thankful to our investors for the same," said Sudarshan Vig, co-founder and CEO, Merlinwand.

With the advent of digitization and e-learning, the company strives to hire tech developers to create a visually stimulating experience for children in order to foster curiosity, self-esteem and empathy.
