About upGrad
upGrad has delivered over 20 million hours of learning, offering programs in collaboration
with major global universities, including University of Maryland, University of Arizona,
Emory University, Duke CE (Corporate Education), Deakin Business School, Michigan State
University, Caltech, and Liverpool John Moores University, among others. In the seven
years of our existence, we have successfully impacted more than 2 million learners from
over 100 countries across the world.

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, the focus of upGrad has been to help working
professionals in their endeavor to learn, grow, and move up in their careers through a wide
range of programs designed to enhance their expertise.

Our research has consistently revealed that the greatest differentiator for professionals
looking to progress into positions of expertise and eminence in their domains 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 rigors of business education becomes limited due
to the demands of work and life, professionals often find themselves in a position of having
to treat their continuing education as a burden that comes in the way of their professional
performance. Through its association with Purdue University, upGrad endeavors to
facilitate continuing education for senior professionals without impeding their career
journeys.
