Job Description
About Us
At Kraftshala, we’re dedicated to being a leading online skilling institution focused on delivering transformative educational experiences at scale—what we call “Scaling with Soul.” This means prioritizing student outcomes, especially our Placement Rate, over metrics like enrolments or valuations.
Achieving this is challenging, requiring tough decisions at every step—from admissions to training and placements—without compromising quality or scalability. Our unwavering commitment to student success has built trust with students, families, recruiters, and the broader ecosystem.
Our commitment to transparency is evident in our public Placement Reports, detailing placement statistics such as company names and salaries. While not required, we believe showcasing these outcomes sets a higher standard in education. Unlike many competitors, we embrace this model of quality and transparency.
Though we may not lead in enrolments, we are proud to be among the leaders in verifiable placements. With a 94% Placement Rate over the past two years for more than 1,800 students, we aim to remain at the forefront of the industry.
This is our long-term mission—to Scale with Soul. We invite you to join us on this journey.
