Lumikai, India’s pioneering venture capital fund focused on interactive media, digital platforms and games, led a $1.5 million seed round in Jodhpur-based startup NPrep, an AI-powered, video-first learning platform revolutionising preparation for high-stakes nursing entrance examinations and global healthcare careers.
NPrep fits squarely into Lumikai’s thesis that interactive customised mechanics, outcome-based feedback loops, and AI-led personalisation engage, retain and scale users on digital platforms.
This is Lumikai’s third investment in the interactive learning space, following Supernova, the AI tutor for spoken English, and Vobble, the interactive AI-first audio platform for kids.
India is home to one of the world’s largest nursing workforces, with approximately 3.2 million registered nurses and midwives, and over 250,000 new graduates entering the market annually. An additional 800,000 candidates appear for competitive government nursing entrance exams each year. India is also a global supplier of healthcare talent, while facing a growing shortage of nurses in the country.
NPrep addresses the systemic gap in nursing education by delivering over 1,400 hours of exam-aligned original video content along with personalised study plans. An AI mentor, curated questions from historical exam data, and individual performance tracking directly drive superior exam results, unlocking access to government jobs and global roles.
Within 10 months, over 1,00,000 nurses in India already use NPrep, with over 6 million minutes of video content consumed and 31 million questions answered on the platform.
The round also saw participation from existing investor All In Capital, along with Velo Partners, DSP Group Family Office, and angel investors including Viren Shetty, Executive Vice Chairman of Narayana Health.
