Harappa looks to double its headcount in FY22

Homegrown edtech startup and online institution for behavioural skilling Harappa is looking to grow its team by 2X by adding nearly 150 new employees in FY 2022 across verticals, ahead of strategic expansion plans.

With a specific focus on product innovation, 30% of the new hires will be onboarded into the firm's engineering and product teams. It has already brought together a team of 150 people in the last quarter, including leadership at the CXO level.

“Harappa’s vision and our unique Thrive Skills pedagogy has unlocked tremendous growth and momentum across our B2B and B2C offerings over the course of the last two years. As the world is transitioning to new work-styles and models, the significance of cognitive, social and behavioural skills have become even more pivotal across career cusps. To support our ambitious goals and bridge India’s professional learning need-gaps, we plan to accelerate our hiring in FY22 by building even more capability in-house," said Shreyasi Singh, founder and CEO, Harappa.


The talent that the company is looking to bring in will support its B2C bets and strengthen its B2B presence across distinct learning experiences. These expanded teams will be responsible for building long-term capabilities for the firm; spearheaded by its leadership members like Nilanjan Kar as chief revenue officer, Mudit Shekhawat as chief consumer officer and Vipul Rathore as chief content officer, among others.
