[Jobs roundup] Join India's online education sector with these openings

Edtech is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the country, more so during the coronavirus pandemic. Poised to reach $1.96 billion by 2021, India has a current user base of around 9.6 million in the online education sector. This will still represent only a tiny sliver of the Indian market that has over 250 million students currently enrolled in schools, indicating a tremendous potential.

As most of the schools and colleges are shut, fearing it to be a breeding ground for the novel coronavirus infection, edtech startups are proving to be useful for students to keep up with learning.
