GSV launched the list of education technology leaders in 2020 with the EdTech 50. Due to rapid growth in the sector, due to the global pandemic and continued remarkable technological evolutions, the list increased to 150 in 2021.

In 2022, the sector has shown no signs of slowing down, with the 150 companies selected for the year’s list collectively experiencing revenue growth in the high double digits.

To be in the GSV EdTech 150, companies should meet the following criterias:

  • VC or PE-backed companies in digital Learning, excluding public and nonprofit companies
  • Companies that have achieved meaningful scale, and primarily, but not exclusively, those that are post-Series A in their development
  • Companies experiencing strong, organic top-line growth

Simplilearn’s programmes cover all critical digital domains such as Data & AI, Programming, Cloud & Devops, Agile, Digital Transformation, and Digital Marketing and more than 30 critical digital economy roles in the enterprise with comprehensive learning paths.

These programs are co-created with leading universities like MIT and Caltech and leading industry partners like IBM, Microsoft Azure, and Facebook, to ensure the best learning outcomes.

More than 3 million professionals have been assisted by Simplilearn to upskill themselves in digital technology skills across 150 countries. Simplilearn offers a scalable platform for live interactive workshops and bootcamps in digital skills.

Simplilearn works globally through partners, including channel partners like Accenture academy and PWC Academy and distributors like Deviare in South Africa, Saudi Business Machines in the Middle East, and the ILX Group in the United Kingdom.

Krishna Kumar, founder & CEO, Simplilearn, said, “We are honoured to be among the 150 companies listed by GSV Ventures.
