Amid layoffs in the start-up industry, Utkarsh is hiring aggressively
UTKARSH Classes & Edutech, one of India's premier e-learning
platforms, has announced aggressive hiring plans for tier 2 & tier 3
cities by the end of FY22-23.
The company plans to recruit 500
people including senior leadership, educators, and people for their new
sales and customer service team. The development is a part of its
strategy which begins by providing quality and affordable education to
young learners, preparing them for various competitive exams and school
education courses, and finally creating potential job opportunities.
Utkarsh
is aggressively focussed on hiring from Hindi-speaking states including
Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Bihar, and Madhya Pradesh, and
generating employment opportunities in smaller towns and cities.
While
the learning educational app was launched in November 2018, Utkarsh
Classes is a pioneer in the industry, founded by Dr. Nirmal Gehlot in
2002. Built on a sustainable growth model, UTKARSH is a bootstrapped yet
profitable organization that maintains its competitive edge by adopting
innovative solutions and a technology-driven approach. It currently has
over 1,200 employees, including 170 educators across categories and
over 20 million students across its online and offline platforms,
learning app, and YouTube channel.
UTKARSH provides online and
offline learning modes for central and state government exams, all-India
competitive exams such as IIT-JEE, NEET, and CLAT, and school education
for Classes 6th to 12th, CBSE, and eight state boards. It also
specializes in all-India and state-level government tests for IAS,
banking, defense services, state Public Service Commission, and teaching
exams.
UTKARSH Classes and Edutech, Founder and CEO, Dr. Nirmal
Gehlot said, "Amid the disruption and uncertainty cast by the Covid-19
pandemic, a majority of young Indians now prefer government jobs for
employment security and higher income. As a result, we have witnessed
growth from 6000 to 1.5 million paid students enrolling for online
coaching in the past two years. Given this, we are expanding our team
across Tier 2 & Tier 3 cities. We are looking to hire out-of-the-box
thinkers with a passion for educational excellence and problem-solving,
thus helping our young learners advance in their careers and succeed in
life."
Utkarsh has processes to strengthen the talent pipeline
right from the initial phase of onboarding and induction of employees to
prepare them for the EdTech sector. In addition, the company ensures
that its workforce is continually engaged and motivated, from
recognition mechanisms to regular updates on key initiatives and
milestones, so that each employee understands how they fit into the ‘big
picture.’
