Maths-focused gaming startup Matiks has raised $3.1 million in a recent funding round to accelerate product development and expand its workforce across India.
Founded to make math practice fun and effective, Matiks gamifies learning with short, competitive sessions and adaptive problem sets. The company says the new capital will help it build more engaging games, add regional language support, and broaden its reach in schools and homes.
What Matiks plans to do with the money
Matiks will use the funds to strengthen three core areas:
- Product and tech: improve game mechanics, adaptive algorithms, and user experience for mobile and web.
- Content and curriculum: create more grade-wise content aligned with Indian school boards and state syllabi.
- Hiring and expansion: recruit engineers, content creators, designers, and growth marketers across cities in India.
Founders believe gamified practice helps students overcome math anxiety while improving speed and accuracy. The startup reports growing user engagement, with many learners preferring bite-sized multiplayer challenges over long worksheets.
Why this matters for Indian parents and schools
Math performance and interest remain major concerns for Indian parents and educators. Gamified platforms like Matiks tap into a cultural shift where mobile-first learning and short-form content resonate with students.
For schools, Matiks offers an interactive option to supplement classroom teaching. For parents, it promises daily practice that’s both fun and measurable. With the new funds, Matiks aims to add more localized content for regional languages and syllabus variations, a key request from Indian users.
Growing edtech interest from investors
The fresh round signals continued investor appetite for practical edtech solutions that combine learning outcomes with strong engagement. Startups that show repeat usage and measurable improvement in skills are attracting capital, especially when they address large markets such as India’s school-going population.
Matiks plans to use data and feedback from its growing user base to refine personalized learning paths. The company also wants to build partnerships with schools and coaching centres to integrate game-based practice into regular study routines.
What to expect next
Over the next year, users can expect more game formats, regional language launches, classroom tools, and scaled customer support. Matiks also aims to expand its team across product, curriculum, and growth functions to accelerate adoption in tier-2 and tier-3 cities.
With this investment, Matiks is betting that making math practice enjoyable will be a powerful lever to improve learning outcomes across India.
