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.
