upGrad on Tuesday said it will onboard 1,000 employees in the next three months in India from more than 100 campuses, including Metros and tier 2 and 3 cities, as the pandemic hits the job market in the country.
The opportunities are available across departments like learning experience, delivery, marketing and programme, along with sales which will remain predominant.
The edtech leader said that it will also hire people from its own learners' talent pool through its subsidiary upGrad Rekrut, which is a recruitment and staffing solutions firm.

upGrad, which offers more than 100 courses in collaboration with top-notch global/local universities like Deakin Business School (Australia), Duke CE (US), Michigan State University (US), Liverpool Business School (UK), IIT Madras (India), IIM Kozhikode (India) and others, has empowered over 10 lakh registered learners over 50 countries across the world.
According to the company, the fresh sales recruits will work out of the specially-created ‘Temporary Safe Workplace Bubbles' across five-star hotel properties in
Mumbai and
Bengaluru, and will soon expand to cities like Hyderabad, Delhi, and
Kolkata.
The bubbles have also helped upGrad overcome the monotony of working from home for employees.
