South Asia’s largest online higher education company upGrad for Business, the B2B arm launches Education@Work - A Corporate Digital Campus, wherein upGrad will facilitate organisations with 100+ education courses for their employees across MBA Degrees, Data, Technology, and Behavioural disciplines.

Amid Covid crisis, organisations are leveraging online learning as the only possible L&D proposal, as on-site have not been viable for more than a year and will not be so in the coming future. upGrad’s start of Education@Work is appropriately timed, as such ventures have proven to offer elevated employee attention resulting in a 21 percent increase in profitability for companies, as per the Gallup findings.

MinaxiIndra, President & Head, upGrad for Business, states, "Recent report highlights that 61 percent of the workforce feels burnt out. Channelising our employees’efforts by focusing on their developmental needs creates an engaged and productive employee base. Our partnership delivers tangible business outcomes for our customers and the Education@Work offering is a game-changer for organisations. It is designed keeping in mind a two-fold approach of enhancing employee productivity and helping organisations with business growth in the current turbulent times.”

"upGrad for Business offers an excellent list of choices for industry-relevant online programs conducted by well-known universities and colleges. Together with upGrad, we believe, we’ll be able to empower the workforce of the future,” said MosurSaisekar, Country Head, Legato, one of upGrad’s B2B partners.
