Edept, a Bengaluru-based educational services operator, was established in 2023 by Gaurv Bhatia, Puneet Saxena, and Devendra Nagle. The founding team, composed of alumni from INSEAD and various IIMs, brings together extensive experience from the SaaS tech industry, business development, and corporate relations to address the divide between traditional education and industry demands.
The company operates on a B2B2C model, partnering with both Indian and international universities to design, manage, and deliver industry-led postgraduate and degree programs. These programs are specifically created to equip young graduates with relevant skills for high-demand sectors such as data analytics, cybersecurity, management, and nursing. Edept's business model involves collaborating with corporations to ensure the curriculum is aligned with current market needs, thereby enhancing graduate employability. Revenue is generated through these university partnerships, where Edept handles aspects from student acquisition and admissions to academic delivery, internships, and final placements.
The core service is providing career-focused education that improves job outcomes for students. This is achieved through a hybrid delivery model that includes technology-enabled platforms, on-demand support, and real-world immersion programs in global hubs like Melbourne, Geneva, and Abu Dhabi. For its university clients, Edept offers end-to-end support, including program design, content creation, faculty development, and marketing. For students, the platform provides access to a global careers platform, mentorship, and internship opportunities. Since its inception, the company has secured $1.35M in seed funding, with a notable $1 million round led by Enzia Ventures and Equanimity Investments to scale operations and enhance its technology.
