Mumbai-based BrainGymJr—a subscription-based edtech platform offering brain development exercises launched a fully automated portal for children between ages 5-11 years. The launch comes soon after the company raised INR 2.5 crore in its Angel round in July 2021.

Founded by Vidur Garg, BrainGymJr offers a daily dose of fun exercises with real-world scenarios which are age-appropriate and aligned with learning objectives.

Through our exercises on BrainGymJr we want to make learning and application a daily habit for children. Moreover, we want the entire experience to be fun and engaging. We are thrilled to have like-minded investors supporting us. Our dream is to help children across the globe get better prepared for real-life opportunities," said Vidur Garg, founder, BrainGymJr.

BrainGymJr offers online exercises in engaging formats such as crosswords, grid questions, etc based on core concepts of Mathematics, English, and Real-World skills. The level of difficulty is intelligently tailored for the child per subject, enabling children to learn at their own pace. Moreover, instant solutions and explanations make the learning complete.

"BrainGymJr has a universal offering aimed at making children smarter by actually applying concepts learned in school. The fun formats, daily nudges, and rewards keep children engaged while creating discipline.
