More and more professionals are ditching the traditional MBA and turning to platforms like GreyCampus, one of the fastest-growing providers of online certification courses, to stay relevant
Neena Kaur Suras, a project manager at Tech Mahindra for nearly four years, wanted to specialise in her area of work “so that my customers across the world know that I can take care of my core area”.
But quitting her job for an MBA didn’t seem worthwhile for the 37-year-old, who already had managerial experience. So Suras turned to GreyCampus, a four-year-old online certification provider, for Prince2, a programme in project management. “This programme made more sense than an MBA. I was already a manager; this would add more value to my current line of work,” says Suras.
GreyCampus is a Hyderabad based startup that provides online training for professional certification courses across areas such as project management, complex data, service management and quality management. It develops the contents and modules which are then empanelled with global certifying agencies that issue the professional certificates. Founded by former Goldman Sachs and Citibank executive Vijay Pasupulati, the company has been listed by consultancy firm Deloitte among India’s fastest-growing tech companies for the past four years.
In 2016, GreyCampus was India’s fastest growing tech company with an average revenue growth of over 1,622 percent between 2013 and 2016. In 2017, it stood at the 13th position with an average revenue growth of 228 percent between 2014 and 2017. (The Deloitte rankings require the companies to have operating revenue in excess of $50,000.)
