  • How many candidates are waiting to be reviewed for my jobs?
  • How long does it take for a candidate to complete an assessment?
  • What’s my drop-off rate from invitation to starting the interview or assessment?
  • Which recruiters have the best response rates or respond the fastest?

Adding about the initiative, Chief Executive Officer of Modern Hire, Karin Borchert, said:

At Modern Hire, we believe successful hiring is the bedrock of high-performing organizations, and one of the best ways to establish this is through intelligent interviewing technology that combines science, analytics, AI, and workflow automation.

With the new fundraising, the Mumbai-based company plans to continue its mission of transforming the student lifecycle while expanding its product offerings to meet the needs of students, universities, educators, and administrators. It also plans to strengthen its position and build deeper partnerships in the UK, EU, Canada, Australia, and USA geographies.

Speaking about the company, Founder & CEO of ASL, Amit Singh, said:

Despite the economic challenges brought on by COVID-19, when many of our peers were struggling for survival, our business soared through the market turbulence and achieved an impressive 300 per cent y-o-y growth since then. We will continue to unify student journeys on our platform and strengthen our product portfolio across geographies.

UniScholars is a platform for test preparation, counselling, university applications, course shortlisting and visa assistance through over 100 expert counsellors. UniCreds provides affordable education loans in multiple currencies, whereas UniAcco helps students find accommodation.

Adding further about the platform, Co-founder of ASL, Sayantan Biswas, said:

In a time of market uncertainty, our existing and new investors have placed huge trust in us. We are committed to leveraging the funds received towards providing a seamless experience to students by evolving with their changing needs. Our primary focus will now be profitability and organic growth for all three brands.

Vatsal Bavishi, Investment Director, Cornerstone Ventures, commented:

We love the execution capability and student-first approach of the founding team. It’s the only platform that has truly and successfully unified the entire student lifecycle, from application to accommodation and beyond at every step. Its hyper-personalised approach ensures that a student remains on the platform throughout its educational journey of 4-5 years and potentially expands into their early career as well. Its enterprise pricing model, recurring revenues and profitable unit economics excited us to be a part of their journey.

Edtech unicorn PhysicsWallah intends to invest $10 Mn in Vidyapeeth – its offline vertical

Physics Wallah, India’s top online education technology platform, has launched a new school initiative PW School Integrated Programme to provide Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) and National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) coaching to students in tier-3 and tier-4 cities in India. As a part of the initiative, the startup plans to collaborate with 39 schools in remote areas and set up the ‘Vidyapeeth School Center’.

According to Vice President Imran Rashid, the company will invest $10 million in this project. Of this, $5 million will be spent to set up school infrastructure. Another $5 million will be utilized to create top-quality content, pedagogy development and academic upgradation. The platform expects around 60 students from each partner school for this programme.

The initiative aims to minimise the need for separate coaching classes for students in remote areas while integrating JEE and NEET preparation into regular classroom instruction. The cost of setting up infrastructure in each school will range between Rs 8-10 lakh, officials said. Furthermore, the company will charge a ticket price of Rs 2,000 per student under the collaboration.

Last week, Physics Wallah forayed into National Eligibility cum Entrance Test—Postgraduate (NEET PG/NExT) preparation with the launch of MedEd, a “one-stop solution” for NEET PG/NExT preparation.

The programme is currently available for students in grades 11th-12th with plans to extend to grades 9th and 10th later. Classes will be offered live during school time and will provide coaching over the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and JEE/NEET requirements. The main subjects in focus will be Physics, Chemistry, Maths and Biology. The programme will be rolled out across 34 districts in 10 states, including Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Bihar, Assam, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Gujarat Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Haryana.
