New Delhi: Delhi based startup, NoPaperForms, an enrolment platform for educational institutes, has secured an investment of Rs. 28 core funding from Info Edge (India) Ltd, whose stakes have now increased to 48.1% in the company. The investment was made under Series B funding.
NoPaperForms is a Software-As-A-Service (SAAS) based enrolment automation solution which systematizes the entire journey of student from enquiry to enrolment. It is an advanced admission management platform that helps institutes manage their online and offline admission process making it seamless for both the students & institutes.

Designed in close cooperation with top academic institutions, NoPaperForms help institutions to make the entire admission process 100% transparent and increase their outreach capabilities, enhance recruitment efforts, expand customer service offerings, thereby improving the end results.
Speaking on the current investment, Mr. Naveen Goyal, CEO and Founder, NoPaperForms said, “This investment will help us to grow and provide better services to empower our vision to fundamentally transform the admission process in the education institutions in India and abroad. Today, with the digitization of the admission process mandate, we are driving a tectonic shift in how Institutes large and small are turning from yesterday’s endless paper work admissions to NoPaperForms smart admissions. We are living in a digital world and its only rational that we keep up with the pace to help our next generation utilize every available prospective without getting trapped in age old methodology of enrollment.”
