We wish to continue with our efforts and touch the lives of more children and caregivers. The education that we are able to impart in the community is our true reward, and we are constantly trying to innovate and engage with more people. This capital will go a long way in helping us to do so, and we are thankful to our investors for the same," said Sudarshan Vig, co-founder and CEO, Merlinwand.
