This increase in the learners can be mainly
attributed to a combination of new courses,
behavioural change to consume the same category
online and referrals from customers who have
already got job placements through Board
Infinity. The company has placed the learners in
various companies such as Accenture, Sony, OLX,
Eclerx, Andromeda, Toppr. The company is seeing
an increase of learners from tier 2 3 cities
such as Madurai, Nagpur, Jalandhar, Calicut,
Belgaum, Raipur, Udaipur, Ranchi and
Kanpur. Commenting on the increasing number of
learners during COVID-19, Sumesh Nair, Co-Founder

have added more than 10,000 learners with a 5x
increase in its enquiries to the platform. Out of
this, 40 of this is driven by referral
