Byju’s-owned Great Learning, a Singapore-based edtech platform for upskilling, has acquired talent recruitment automation platform Superset for an undisclosed amount.

Great Learning believes that the latest acquisition will further strengthen its position to help students and professionals by connecting them to relevant employers after their course is complete.

Meanwhile, Superset will now look to accelerate its growth in India by expanding its offerings to students and recruiters. The company will continue to operate under the leadership of its co-founders, Naman Agrawal and Pranjal Goswami.

“Superset is a strong and strategic fit for Great Learning. The guiding philosophy of both companies has always been aligned towards bridging the gap between education and employment. Superset will propel Great Learning’s efforts to bridge the gap between students, professionals and employers by streamlining campus placements and simplifying hiring processes for colleges, students and companies,” said Mohan Lakhamraju, founder and chief executive officer (CEO) at Great Learning.

In July last year, Byju’s acquired Great Learning for $600 million, to expand its offerings beyond the K-12 and test prep segment. The acquisition by Byju’s was also a part of its international expansion strategy.
