Nursing exam preparation startup Nprep has raised $1.5 million in seed funding from venture capital firm Lumikai.
Founded by Prince Kaushik, Utkarsh Paliwal and Gourav Khurana, all alumni of AIIMS Jodhpur, the startup offers a video-first learning platform aimed at candidates preparing for nursing entrance exams and government healthcare roles.
âWe will use the funding to scale up our AI-powered learning platform, expand exam-focused content, and reach more nursing candidates across India preparing for government and global healthcare roles,â said Kaushik.
India has one of the worldâs largest nursing workforces, with more than 3.3 million registered nurses and midwives, with over 200,000 graduates entering the workforce each year. Thousands of candidates also compete annually for government nursing entrance examinations, creating strong demand for exam preparation platforms.
âPreparation for these exams continues to be dominated by offline coaching centres and static resources such as PDFs and recorded lectures, leaving limited access to personalised preparation tools,â Kaushik added.
Nprep claims to address this gap through an AI-powered, video-first platform that provides personalised study plans, exam-focused practice questions and adaptive learning paths.
âA nurse earning Rs 20,000 a month in a private hospital can see her salary jump to nearly Rs 1 lakh after clearing government nursing exams,â Kaushik said. The company currently hosts over 1,400 hours of exam-aligned content and uses an AI mentor and performance analytics to guide students through preparation.
Nprep claims that more than 100,000 nurses have used the platform within 10 months of launch, consuming over six million minutes of video content and answering more than 31 million questions.
