Simplilearn Plans to Relaunch Fresher Upskilling Vertical
Business Standard
|March 11, 2025
Edtech Firm to Restart Study Abroad Programme as Well
Edtech firm Simplilearn, which provides digital upskilling courses, is planning to relaunch its two key verticals—fresher upskilling and study abroad—after discontinuing them last year.
As part of its strategic comeback, the company will explore potential acquisitions to rebuild these services, said Krishna Kumar, founder and chief executive officer of Simplilearn.
The Blackstone-backed firm had shut down its study abroad and fresher upskilling verticals in 2024 as they did not meet expectations.
