The company assists students to leverage the power of Analytics, Mobility, Social Collaboration and Vernacular to prepare effectively with a customized approach.

Career Anna commenced its education and training business in 2004. As a leader in career education, it has over 25,000 unique customers so far. Since eighteen months of its inception, they have collaboration with more than 100 educational institutes and 175 products. The company boasts of over 5.42 lac registered users and more than 160 mentors and faculties. Having eighteen workers, the company has well established itself to compete with Mock Bank and Online Tyari. Career Anna was the only Ed Tech company to make the cut to top 10 of the BITS Pilani Conquest 2015 and is also the part of NASSCOM 10,000 Startups Program.

Now it is planning to launch mobile devices like Tablets, SD Cards, Pen Drives etc. It also aims to go global in emerging and developing economies in two years time, since these countries still have the dearth of quality training in core subject areas needed to excel in career.

"When we started off, our purpose of having strong in-house content team was mainly on providing customized study modules. As we grew and engaged with customers more, we realized the need of transitioning education training from push-based model to pull-based. Now, students suggest us what course material they need and we are able to serve them in a quick timeframe possible (within 5 days). We are closely engaged with our students and we gather their feedback and improve our content quality and delivery," a spokesperson of Career Anna told The CEO Magazine.
