AI Learning Startup Yoodli Raises $40 Million in Series B Led by WestBridge Capital

Yoodli, a US-based AI-powered learning platform, has raised $40 million in its Series B funding round led by WestBridge Capital, with participation from Neotribe and Madrona.

Founded in 2021 by Varun Puri and Esha Joshi, Yoodli has secured Series B funding just a few months after announcing its Series A round in May. To date, the company has raised nearly $60 million.

The startup’s platform uses AI to simulate real-world scenarios, from sales calls and leadership coaching to interviews and feedback sessions, giving users instant, personalised feedback they can practice privately and repeatedly.

This funding will accelerate Yoodli’s investment in AI coaching, analytics, and personalisation while expanding its reach across enterprise learning, GTM enablement, and professional development. The company plans to grow its product, AI research, and customer success teams as it continues to scale globally.

“This round helps us scale our team and serve more enterprises on a true end-to-end experiential learning platform,” said Varun Puri, cofounder and CEO of Yoodli. “We’re reducing the time it takes to acquire real skills, ensuring employees are ready for game time, and saving organisations countless hours lost to passive coaching.

The Yoodli platform is used by major companies like Google, Snowflake, Databricks, RingCentral, and Sandler Sales. Adoption has surged due to a workplace shift towards experiential learning, allowing employees to improve through guided practice rather than just consuming training content.

“We see Yoodli defining a new category of AI-native learning tools for the enterprise, as companies today seek scalable, AI-driven solutions to train and upskill their workforces. The Yoodli team has built a platform that brings a high level of precision and scalability to skill development, and we’re excited to partner with them as they scale,” said Manthan Shah, principal at WestBridge Capital.
