About upGrad
upGrad has delivered over 2 million learners, delivering programs by collaborating
with universities across the world including University of Maryland, Duke CE, IIT
Madras, IIIT Bangalore and Deakin Business School, among others

Online education is a fundamental disruption that will have a far-reaching impact. upGrad
was founded taking this into consideration. upGrad is an online education platform that
helps individuals develop their professional potential in the most engaging learning
environment. Since its inception, upGrad is focused on helping working professionals in
their bid to learn, grow and move up in their careers through a wide range of programs
designed to improve their expertise.

Our research has consistently revealed that the greatest differentiator for professionals
looking to progress into a position of expertise and eminence in their domain is continuous
education. As they move into positions of influence, senior management professionals are
required to bring in-depth knowledge of key business theories along with the execution
aptitude that they have honed and perfected in the course of their careers.

As the ability to partake in the academic rigours of business education becomes limited
due to the demands of work and life, professionals often find themselves in the position of
having to treat their continuing education as a burden that comes in the way of their
professional performance. Through its association with Caltech and Fullstack Academy,
upGrad endeavours to facilitate continuing education for senior professionals without
impeding their career journeys.

Our aim is simple:

We strive to create high-impact,
on-campus hands-on
experiences that prepare
students for meaningful and
productive careers.

Co-founder and Executive Chairman
