Scaler

Scaler is a prominent Indian EdTech company that provides intensive, outcome-focused upskilling programs for software engineers, data scientists, and business professionals. Originally launched in 2019 as a spin-off from the technical interview preparation platform InterviewBit, Scaler was founded by Anshuman Singh and Abhimanyu Saxena to address the gap between traditional academic education and the practical, architectural skills required by the modern tech industry. The company offers a diverse range of educational products, including the flagship Scaler Academy, the Scaler School of Technology, and specialized tracks in data science and management. By leveraging a mentorship-driven model that connects students with industry veterans, Scaler has established itself as a key player in the professional development space. The platform is backed by major venture capital firms such as Peak XV Partners and Tiger Global, and it has gained recognition for its high placement rates at top-tier global technology companies. While the company has experienced significant growth and expansion into undergraduate and master's level education, it has also navigated the challenges of the broader EdTech market, including strategic restructuring efforts to optimize operations.

Scaler's mission is to bridge the gap between formal computer science education and the evolving demands of the global tech industry, with an ultimate goal of creating over 1 million world-class tech professionals.
