Emversity, a higher-education embedded training and employability platform operated by Beyond Odds Technologies Pvt. Ltd., has raised $30 million (Rs 271 crore) in its Series A funding round led by Premji Invest, it announced on Thursday.
The financing also saw participation from Lightspeed and Z47, taking the company’s total funding till date to $46 million.
The company plans to deploy the capital to expand its campus footprint from 40+ to over 200 locations, launch skilling programmes for infrastructure-led EPC and manufacturing industries, and to strengthen its technology-enabled careers platform spanning career discovery, training, employability, and workforce mobility, it said in a statement.
“India has added significant capacity in higher education over the past decade, but the alignment between education and employability has not kept pace with the needs of a rapidly changing economy. Universities have built academic scale and depth, while skill requirements across sectors have evolved far more quickly. Emversity was created to work alongside universities—adding industry relevance, applied training, and employer linkage where it is most needed,” said Vivek Sinha, founder & CEO, Emversity.
Founded in 2023, Emversity acts as a bridge between universities and employers, working with higher-education institutions to strengthen the link between academic learning and workforce readiness. By embedding industry-aligned curricula, work-integrated training, and advanced learning infrastructure—including simulation-based and AR/VR-enabled learning—the platform helps universities deliver employable graduates.
In parallel, Emversity works directly with employers and operates dedicated skill centres in affiliation with the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), offering short-term training programs for healthcare and hospitality.
In under two years, Emversity said it has scaled into a category-leading platform, supporting over 4,500 learners across 40+ campuses through employer-co-created workforce pipelines. Its healthcare and hospitality programmes are developed in collaboration with leading employers, with early cohorts working at organisations such as Fortis Healthcare, Apollo Hospitals, Aster, KIMS, IHCL (Taj Hotels), and Lemon Tree Hotels.
