The company claims to have grown to 1,800 team members from 600 in January 2022.

Arora stated that its domestic admission service accounts for 75% of revenue, online learning platform- Learn contributes about 20% and study abroad service stands at 5% of the revenue. Under domestic admissions and study abroad, the company claims to have earned through commision from 1,500 partner colleges in India and 200 universities across the United States (US), Canada, and Australia based on the students’ admission.
Furthermore, to scale its Learn platform, CollegeDekho has launched an additional service namely ‘Assured’ in July, claims Arora. “This service assures students with job opportunities across 200 partnered organisations,” he said. The company also plans to add 40 new courses on the Learn platform. At present, it offers more than 35 courses across different disciplines such as finance, business, artificial intelligence, digital marketing, communication development among others. On the enrollment front, Arora claims that since its launch in February 2022, the platform gets about 2,000 enrollments every month.
