Jigsaw Academy, an online school of Analytics, has secured $3 Mn (INR 20 Cr) funding from Manipal Global Education Services (MaGE) to expand its offerings to new markets.

With this, former Infosys veteran TV Mohandas Pai will join the advisory board of Jigsaw Academy.

Founded in 2011, Jigsaw Academy offers courses in big data and data analytics at the beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels, as well as specialised courses for specific sectors. The company has a Jigsaw Lab, a cloud based virtual platform, which is accessible to students 24×7.

Gaurav Vohra, CEO of Jigsaw Academy said, “This is a huge milestone for Jigsaw Academy. We could not have found a better partner than the Manipal group in the education space. We believe that there is a great potential in the analytics and big data training market in India and abroad. This funding that we have received will help us take bigger steps in the global market more aggressively while opening up more corporate training opportunities.”

Jigsaw claims to have trained over 40,000 students from over 30 countries and more than 100 corporates and IT giants across different verticals.
