With the lock-down in force for close to 2 months, Grazing Minds, a Consulting and edtech start-up has added over 10,000 learners for live online classes focused on skilling and career transition to BFSI, logistics and hospitality sectors. The preferred courses among the learners have been API driven banking, Financial Modeling, Creating Smart Banking Products, Understanding Credit Scoring, Ind-As and IFRS in Banking, Logistics and Supply Chain Management and Big Data. The reason behind these courses being the preferred ones is that these are focussed on jobs of the future, and also it helps them to obtain employment and getting deployed on live projects available with Grazing Minds or it's partners.
This increase in the learners can be mainly attributed to a combination of new courses, behavioral change to consume the same category online and referrals from learners who have already got job placements through Grazing Minds. The company is seeing an increase of learners from tier 2 and 3 cities such as Bhubaneswar, Coimbatore, Siliguri, Madurai, Nagpur, Calicut, Belgaum, Raipur, Udaipur, Ranchi and Kanpur.
