SigIQ.ai develops AI-powered learning tools that deliver personalized, elite-level education at scale. Its flagship platforms include PadhAI, personalized AI tutors for India's UPSC civil service exam preparation, and EverTutor, built for GRE test prep targeting the US market. The company gained attention when its AI tutor took the notoriously difficult UPSC exam and achieved a top historical score in minutes. Founded in 2023 by Karttikeya Mangalam and Professor Kurt Keutzer, SigIQ.ai emerged from stealth in April 2025 with a $9.5M seed round co-led by The House Fund and GSV Ventures, with participation from Duolingo, Peak XV Partners, Venture Highway, Calibrate Ventures, and angels including Andy Konwinski and Christian Storm.
