Curriculum Associates (CA), a US-headquartered edtech company, on Tuesday said it is expanding its global capability centre (GCC) in Bengaluru, with a new office space of 40,000 sq ft, from 17,000 sq ft earlier.

CA established the India centre in Bengaluru in 2024 and now has close to 250 employees engaged in the full spectrum of the company’s activity. It plans to increase its employee base to over 300 in the next 12-18 months. The India centre will account for 15% of Curriculum Associates’ global workforce.

“India now plays a critical role in how we innovate and advance our products. Our team in Bengaluru brings together deep technical expertise and access to world-class talent, accelerating the solutions we can deliver to teachers and students,” said Kelly Sia, CEO, Curriculum Associates, in a statement.

Since its inception, CA's India centre was designed as a full-spectrum capability centre, contributing to its flagship products, including the i-Ready platform. Now, this centre oversees engineering, product operations, IT infrastructure, data and insights, marketing, sales and service operations, finance, etc.

The company said the expansion reflects the centre’s strategic mandate to engage Bengaluru’s skilled engineering and AI talent and contribute directly to Curriculum Associates’ global product roadmap.

“India’s deep and diverse talent pool makes it the ideal foundation for this growth. While product and engineering remain our largest focal areas, India now powers nearly every function, from applications to AI innovation building full-stack," said Rajeev Kapoor, Senior Vice President and Country Head of Curriculum Associates India.
