The narrative of edForce unfolds with an extraordinary 500% growth, solidifying its position as the fastest-growing EdTech startup in the country. From an Oct-Dec 2022 Annual Revenue Rate of INR 5.3 Cr to an astounding INR 27.4 Cr in the corresponding period of 2023, the startup's meteoric rise speaks volumes about its commitment to reshaping the landscape of workforce upskilling.
