Edtech start-up Vedantu plans to hire 2,500 people in the next three months (April-June) in a bid to support its next phase of growth. The new hires will be at entry and mid-level from India’s premium B-schools and engineering institutes, the leading online learning company said in a press release on Tuesday.
The company currently has a people strength of 6,000, which will grow to 8,500 employees post the team expansion.
The new hires will be across functions including product, product, technology, academics, business, and marketing.
“With the boom in online learning adoption, we aim to hire highly driven and inspired individuals who can become a part of the Vedantu mission,” said Vamsi Krishna, CEO, and co-founder, Vedantu. “We are further expanding our presence in tier 2-3 markets, and with a strong team we aim to impact many more lives and grow from strength to strength,” he added.
The pandemic and the resultant restrictions has given a big push to the growth and widespread adoption of online learning with some India’s leading edtech start-ups clocking exponential growth during the last one year.
Vedantu witnessed 6X to 7X robust growth with 75 million hours of classes delivered across its platform in 2020. The number of students attending LIVE classes on the platform grew exponentially to 6.3 million across the K-12 category and competitive exams such as JEE & NEET.
