ENpower, The B-School for Teens, has received seed funding of Rs 2.65 crore from an investor consortium led by Nikhil Vora, Founder & CEO of Sixth Sense Ventures, India’s first domestic, consumer-centric venture fund.

This seed round will help the company to expand its outreach to 300 schools in the next 18-24 months and to invest into building tech platforms that will enable an ecosystem of students, educators, corporate and start-ups to encourage innovation & entrepreneurship among young minds. The funds will also help in scaling IPs like India's Future Tycoons (IFT) to build larger awareness about the mission.
India’s Future Tycoons, is an entrepreneurship search and mentoring platform for high school students (13-17yrs).
