Mumbai: Y Combinator-backed Skill-Lync, an engineering-focused edtech startup, has raised $17.5 million in a Series A funding round led by Iron Pillar.

While the India-focused venture capital invested $15 million, the remainder came from investors such as Binny Bansal (co-founder of Flipkart), Sai Krishnamurthy (ex-Flipkart; co-founder of Xto10X) and Rashmi Kwatra (founder of Sixteenth Street Capital).

The capital raised will be used to increase the number of courses offered, build the next level of a strong management team and expand the business to international markets, according to a company statement on Tuesday.
