Makkar s message to Eruditus was unequivocal: "To unlock real growth and scalability, you need to embrace the online realm," shared Ashwin Damera, CEO and Co-founder of Eruditus.“The feedback you gave us was very valid, and very constructive, which is why we came back (and asked for a second meeting). Bertelsmann has a lot of experience in education, Globally as well, and you (pankaj) gave us many examples from your portfolio companies that had long contracts with universities. And we realised that wow, theres actually something to learn here. So you know, Even beyond the money, what weve learnt (from Bertelsmann) in our journey of going online, as well as going Global is tremendous.- Ashwin Damera, CEO, Eruditus & Emeritus.
