Started by Verismart.ai’s cofounder Piyush Gupta in 2019, Stride Ahead offers counselling and mentorship to students using AI tools. It has a data-driven career incubation platform and personalised mentorship curated programmes for freshers and early professionals.
“As the number of content-based edtech startups grows, there are more and more students and young professionals who are now geared towards upskilling,” Gupta said. “However, most struggle to understand how to dovetail this into their existing professional journey to move to the next level or to select the strongest skill to create a career with.”
“This is the niche that Stride Ahead will occupy,” he said.
The company claims to be adding more than 600 customers every month. Its user base currently stands at 200+ verified mentors, 300+ companies and over 3,000 institutions, impacting the lives of more than 8,000 students across the country.
“The fast-growing segment is booming, but there are a lot of gaps that need to be filled to help students and professionals move from one level to the next,” Poddar said. “I am confident that Stride Ahead will change the way we attract, recruit and retain talent.”
