Recruitments will be done across multiple sub-departments including sales, marketing, technology, and product, the company said in a statement. The company is planning to recruit mainly fresh talent directly from college campuses and universities to accelerate employability, the statement added.

Commenting on the development, Ankur Dhawan, president, upGrad Abroad, said “We have built a strong business model that is minimising geographical barriers not just for our learners but also for the back-end teams. Hence, it’s critical for us to get more of such young employees on-board who are keen on international exposure and can work in sync with the brand’s mission of easing the skilled talent mobility for several global economies.”

The development comes soon after the brand recently integrated its massive study-abroad portfolio and consolidated its organic and inorganic businesses under a single operating stream.

Study Abroad expects to break even this year and cross ₹500 crore of annual gross revenue during FY24.

“We are building strong business pockets across the country to ensure enhanced operational and cost efficiencies,” upGrad CHRO Saurabh Deep Singla added.
