The company plans to use the funding to add new programs with existing and new university partners as well as expand its geographical footprint to China, Latin America and Europe.
“Making world-class professional education accessible and affordable to the entire world is the mission of Eruditus” said Chaitanya Kalipatnapu, co-founder and Director of Eruditus.
"Our exceptional team of 100 people is based across Singapore, Dubai, India and the United States.

We look forward to working with them in building a great company," he added.
Pankaj Makkar, Managing Director at Bertelsmann India Investments, said, “Demand for high-quality educational services – particularly in the business sector – is growing fast in India and South East Asia. Eruditus meets this demand with classroom, online and blended-learning offers, giving more people access to global business education. Its collaboration with top Ivy League universities guarantees the highest quality. With Bertelsmann, we look forward to actively advancing the further development of Eruditus.”
