Edubuk secures $50M strategic commitment from Nimbus Capital ahead of $EBUK token launch

AI and blockchain startup Edubuk has secured a $50 million strategic investment commitment from Nimbus Capital, supporting its plan to build global hiring infrastructure around on-chain credential verification and an upcoming $EBUK reward token launch.

Founded by Apoorva Bajaj and Shivani Mehrotra, Edubuk targets fake credentials and fragmented verification systems, a problem it says affects over 500 million profiles worldwide and represents a $50 billion-plus opportunity. The company reports more than 100,000 on-chain verifications to date and is expanding across India, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Africa.

At the center of Edubuk’s stack is TruCV, a blockchain-based, tamper-proof CV platform integrated with India’s DigiLocker for instant credential verification, and TruJobs, an AI-powered job matching platform for employers. Together, they aim to provide a trust layer for skills and employment data that can be queried and validated on-chain.

Edubuk highlights recognition from initiatives and institutions including the G20, MIT, Harvard, GITEX, CNBC, CNN, Leap-to-Unicorn, and STPI as validation for its focus on transparent, skills-first hiring. The Nimbus Capital commitment is positioned as strategic backing to scale this infrastructure and support the forthcoming $EBUK token, which is expected to be used to reward participation and activity across the ecosystem.
