Edtech player upGrad’s arm, upGrad Abroad, on Monday said it plans to add 500 members in the next three months to further expand its business footprints.

The fresh recruits would be made across multiple sub-departments including sales, marketing, technology and product, upGrad Abroad said in a statement.

This recruitment will mainly be fresh talent directly from college campuses and universities to accelerate employability.

Hence, it’s critical for us to get more of such young employees on-board who are keen on international exposure and can work in sync with the brand’s mission of easing the skilled talent mobility for several global economies,” upGrad Abroad President Ankur Dhawan said.
