This woman entrepreneur's edtech startup helps GenZ with mentorship, learning, and earning opportunities

YourStory's HerStory platform profiles Divya Jain's edtech startup Seekho, which helps Generation Z with mentorship, learning and earning opportunities. After building Safeducate into one of India's largest logistics skilling organizations with over 250,000 trained professionals, Jain identified a new challenge: young professionals and college students lacked accessible platforms connecting them with industry mentors and practical earning opportunities. Seekho, co-founded by Jain in early 2021, is a video-first platform designed specifically for Gen Z — a digitally native generation seeking flexible, on-demand learning that directly translates to career advancement. The platform bridges multiple gaps simultaneously: the lack of accessible mentorship for first-generation professionals, the disconnect between academic skills and employability, and the desire among young people for economic independence while still learning. The article explores how Seekho leverages technology to create a comprehensive ecosystem where users can access curated courses, connect with industry mentors, and find opportunities to earn through internships and entry-level positions. Jain discusses her approach to female entrepreneurship and her commitment to empowering women through technology and skill development. Having experienced firsthand the challenge of being taken seriously as a woman in the logistics industry, she designed Seekho to be particularly inclusive and accessible to women seeking career advancement. The article covers the company's growth trajectory and its innovative approach to solving India's youth employment challenge through technology-enabled mentorship and practical learning experiences.
