Coimbatore: Gurukul Online Learning Solutions is planning to establish offices across the country very soon.
“We would like to set up at least 100 centres before the end of the current fiscal,” its founder and Chief Executive Officer, Shailesh Mehta, told Business Line.
Without sharing investment details, yet maintaining that ‘huge’ sums have gone into developing the e-learning tool, he said the company’s tie-up with the Institute of Chartered Secretaries of India extended to managing ICSI’s e-learning portal, which include technology, development of courses and online implementation, student registration, administration and complete academic support.
More tie-ups in offing
“We run and manage eMBA and other management-related programmes online. We have tied up with the Ritnand Balved Education Foundation (Amity Foundation), School of Insurance and IT Varsity among others. More such tie-ups and certificate course offerings are in the pipeline,” Mehta added.
The company services its customers in five key markets — retail (B2C), corporates (B2B), institutions, universities and mandatory training institutes.
Flexible, convenient
Reasoning the need for online education, he said “it is flexible and convenient, would help alleviate shortage of talent pool, offer job-oriented education in varied domains leading to placement and career enhancement.”
He further said “The scope is phenomenal and we are looking to tap the potential.”
“Over 65,000 candidates have registered with us for various programmes and the registration is growing at 50 per cent year-on-year. The critical mass is yet to come,” he said.
