Corporate Gurukul on an expansion spree; aims over $5 million by FY 2022

EdTech firm Corporate Gurukul said it expects over $5 million in revenues by FY22, doubling in a year helped by expansion in newer markets and increasing digitisation.

The Singapore-based firm enables students to solve real-life problems using applied learning and is expanding across Asian countries including India and Middle East. “We are planning to develop and strengthen our presence in regions of Africa, South America and the USA. Our major focus will be the US, especially Latin America and Asia including Korea, and the South African continent. We are aiming to go one step ahead of coding which will be Artificial Intelligence to help solve real-world problems,” said Rajesh Panda, founder of Corporate Gurukul.

Founded in 2007, India accounts for nearly 40% of Corporate Gurukul's overall business and the company achieved a 150% compounded annual growth rate since the past five years. It has presence in nearly two dozen countries in Africa, South East Asia, South Asia, Middle East and India.


The ed-tech offers research and innovation using design thinking and internships using AI for schools and universities. It also offers specialised academic internships in data analytics using machine learning and deep learning for university undergraduates. For research interventions and internships they have academic partners – National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and industry partner – Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Singapore. It has also partnered with corporations such as HP and Amazon to drive holistic learning.

“We took 6 months to pivot from on-campus to an online delivery model. We weren’t significantly impacted as other industries, and in fact witnessed 300% quarter on quarter growth in the last 3 quarters. Even with Omicron or any other variant that might come up, the impact would be minimal,” Panda added.

According to Tracxn, there are over 5179 edtech companies in India which raised a combined $1.1 billion in 2021.
