About

A CEO, highly entrepreneurial, with an unbroken record of success in building award winning, leading edge international digital education businesses and platforms. The digital education businesses and platforms I have built are : 1. I launched Emeritus India & APAC and scaled it to a USD 50 million annual revenue run-rate in 48 months. I had full business and P&L responsibility. This included partnering with the best Universities, creating and launching online programmes, driving marketing & sales and ensuring revenue and profit growth. 2. Prior to Emeritus, I launched ProLearn at Manipal Global Education. I scaled Manipal ProLearn to 30,000 paid learners. 3. Early in my career, I co-founded MeritTrac. I scaled it and drove its acquisition by Manipal Global Education. During my years at MeritTrac, we grew to 300+ enterprise customers supported by a massive online examination delivery platform which has delivered 45 million+ exams to date.
