Michael & Susan Dell Foundation funded Oliveboard achieved a major milestone crossing 1 million registered users on its platform. Very few edtech companies manage a reach of over 1 million users and Oliveboard has managed this within just few years of its launch.
The company offers courses in both English & Hindi and has a majority of its users coming from Tier 2 & 3 cities of India. The company delivers its courses on both PC & Mobile and its Android mobile app for over 20 exams across MBA, Banking & Government Job exam categories.
Abhishek Patil, Founder – Oliveboard added
We are probably one of the few e-learning companies in India, with a heavy focus on government job and banking exam related curriculum. We believe that our various initiatives such as introduction of vernacular, gamification of courseware, study planners, analytics for feedback and our thrust on smaller cities of India have immensely helped us achieve this milestone within a short period of time.
