About Us:

We are Kraftshala. We are an online skilling institution committed to playing the long game of building a transformative educational experience for the masses. We call this Scaling with Soul.

Scaling with Soul to us means we always prioritise student outcomes specifically our Placement Rate (percentage of students placed) over other metrics such as number of enrolments or company valuation in the coming year.

This is of course easier said than done. There are painful choices to be made at every stage from admissions to training to placements that wouldnt have been needed were we willing to give up on either of high quality or scale.

But in the long run we believe that our obsession over these student outcomes will earn Kraftshala the trust of Indian students their families recruiters and the broader ecosystem.

Thats why we make each of our Placement Reports public capturing how many students are placed in each batch in what companies at what salaries etc.

We dont need to. None of our competitors do (though wed be happy to be proven wrong and have more educators join us!. Simply put we have tasted the benefits of an education model grounded in high quality paired with the transparency of student outcomes and now cannot imagine doing it any other way.

We are not the largest in terms of enrollments. Nowhere close actually. Not yet.

However we are proud to be one of the largest if not the largest already in terms of actual verifiable placements.

And in terms of Placement Rate the metric that matters most to us we are the absolute best in edtech. In the last 4 years we have placed more than 2000 students with a Placement Rate of 94 (and improving).

This is our long game to Scale with Soul. We invite you to join us for the play.
