This edtech startup making students future ready

Students graduating from educational institutes are finding it difficult to find a job due to the changing dynamics of job requirements in a highly competitive market.

While there is a shortage of industry-ready skills and a mismatch in supply and demand, students from Tier II, III, and IV cities are also having difficulty engaging with English-language online learning content on Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and other platforms, resulting in poor learning and career outcomes.

This is where NxtWave comes into play. The Hyderabad-based startup, founded in September 2020 by Rahul Attuluri, Anupam Pedarla, and Sashank Gujjula, aims to bridge the gap between college education and industry needs. It upskills students, primarily from smaller towns, and prepares them for jobs in Industry 4.0 technologies.

With a goal of producing one million new-age developers per year and all of the challenges in mind, the NxtWave team has created a one-of-a-kind training module that combines vernacular, online, asynchronous, cohort-based training with bite-sized and consolidation learning to create transformative learning experiences.

At the moment, the platform has paid subscribers from over 250 districts in India who have spent over 175 million minutes on the learning platform. NxtWave graduates have been hired by 300+ companies in the last six months, including Google, Jio, Amazon, Accenture, IBM, Bank of America, TCS, Deloitte, and others.
