According to a statement, the fresh investment round will enable Virohan to continue to introduce and expand new virtual technologies in the vocational training segment allowing for greater accessibility, scalability and immersion at affordable costs.
Established in the year 2018, by Making Saluja (Co-founder and CTO) and Kunaal Dudeja (Co-founder and CEO) and Archit Jayaswal (Co-founder and CFO), Virohan bridges the gap between demand and the skills of the workforce. For its goal, the start-up uses ‘technology skill stack’ through which they predict job demand for each job role across India, builds out the curriculum needed and delivers standardized training through blended and online learning.
Talking about the funding, the startup founders said, “Workforce readiness is a huge problem in India. There is a huge disconnect between demand and supply of the skills in the workforce across sectors forcing youth to compromise on aspirations, income and location. We are thrilled to have the support of our incredible investors as we build the most efficient and scalable learning platform for current and future healthcare professionals.”
