The Ronnie Screwvala-led unicorn was able to double its user base to two million in eight months and quadruple the time spent on its platform during the same period, AWS said.
“Going all-in on AWS allows upGrad to meet the rapid growth of their learner base as it scales to more than 100 countries, and provides a secure and personalised experience to learners online as they access upGrad for curriculum, mentoring, and career services,” Sunil PP, lead-education, space, and nonprofits at Amazon Internet Services Pvt. Ltd., AWS India and South Asia said in a statement,
upGrad uses Amazon Redshift, a cloud data warehouse service, to analyse learners’ usage patterns, preferences, profile information, coursework, job applications, career progression. It also plans to procure software-as-a-service solutions for the company and its subsidiaries via AWS Marketplace.
“AWS is integral to our ability to onboard learners, experiment and iterate, and provide the best possible learning experience to help people accelerate their careers,” said Rohit Dhar, president-product at upGrad, said in a statement. “As the demand for quality online learning content grows, we can easily scale our workloads on AWS to reliably and securely deliver rich and uninterrupted educational content, even during very busy periods.”
