Opportunity and Role DescriptionAbout the company:
makes India’s most loved marketing & sales training programs with an Advocacy Score of 95%. We believe that education becomes a lot more fruitful, and a lot more fun, when you get kickass practitioners, the real experts, to train emerging talent. Our programs are built on frameworks and examples from the best in the industry and they are consistently updated with the latest, cutting-edge tools & learnings from the field.

This is why S&M professionals from world’s top consumer companies (like Unilever, P&G, Nestlé, ITC, Facebook, Amazon, Yum! Brands, etc) as well as students currently studying in the best business schools of the country (all major IIMs, ISB, FMS, XLRI, SP Jain, IIFT, etc.) find value in our programs (remember 95%). The goal now is to take our training programs to India’s masses- the talented people across the length and breadth of our country who have been denied a shot at professional success due to the limitations of the existing system.

We are a team that is gunning to bring transformative changes to India’s higher education ecosystem. Welcome to the ride! :)Funding:
