• Kraftshala is 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 wouldn’t 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.
• That’s why we make each of our Placement Reports public. We don’t need to. None of our competitors do (though we’d 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. 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 5 years, we have placed thousands of students with a Placement Rate of 94%.
• This is our long game- to Scale with Soul.
