Earlier, it was reported that Lido Learning was in the advanced stages of talks with Reliance Industries for investment. However, the size of the investment wasn’t disclosed.

Founded in April 2019, Lido Learning used to offer live tutoring and personalised online coaching sessions to students from classes 5-9 in maths and sciences from both CBSE and ICSE boards.

This is the second company to file an application for insolvency and bankruptcy in the past few weeks. Last month, Nandan Nilekani-backed ShopX also filed applications for the same.

Lido is yet to file financials for FY22, however, during FY21, the edtech company witnessed a significant 3X growth in revenue to Rs 10.9 crore from Rs 3.62 crore in FY20, as per its annual financial statements with RoC. Annual losses of the company also surged 35% to Rs 58.75 crore in FY21, which stood at Rs 43.52 crore in the fiscal year ending March 2020.
