Business Development Manager Kannada

NxtWave was founded by Rahul Attuluri (Ex-Amazon, IIIT Hyderabad), Sashank Reddy (IIT Bombay), and Anupam Pedarla (IIT Kharagpur). In February 2023, NxtWave raised ₹275 crore, led by Greater Pacific Capital, a leading international private equity firm. The startup is also backed by Orios Ventures, Better Capital, and marquee angels, including founders of some of Indias unicorns.

NxtWave is one of India’s fastest-growing Ed-Tech startups, revolutionising the 21st-century job market by transforming youth into highly skilled tech professionals, irrespective of their educational background, with its CCBP 4.0 programs.

As an official partner for NSDC under the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, Government of India, and recognised by NASSCOM, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India, and Startup India, NxtWave has earned a reputation for excellence. The startup has received accolades such as ‘The Greatest Brand in Education’ in a research-based listing by URS Media, a leading international media house. NxtWave has also been honoured with the Startup Spotlight Award 2023 by T-Hub on its 8th Foundation Day.

Recently, NxtWave’s founders, Anupam Pedarla and Sashank Gujjula, were honoured in the 2024 Forbes India 30 Under 30 for their exceptional contribution to transforming the tech education landscape in India.

The Ed-tech brand eliminates the entry barrier to learning tech skills by offering vernacular content and interactive learning. Learning in one’s mother tongue helps achieve higher comprehension, deeper attention, longer retention, and greater outcomes.

Presently, NxtWave has paid subscribers from 647+ districts across India. In just 2.5 years, CCBP 4.0 learners have been hired by 1700+ companies, including Google, Amazon, Nvidia, Goldman Sachs, Oracle, Deloitte, and more.
