Masai School, a career-focused skilling institute, has acquired Delhi-based Prepleaf, an end-to-end placement preparation company that focuses on Data Analytics in the cloud for $1 million.

With this acquisition, Masai will now offer courses in Data and Business Analytics, in addition to Web Development and UI/UX Design, aiming to become a one-stop destination for outcome-based education in India. Prepleaf, founded in 2017 by IIT Kanpur alumni Ankit Agrawal, Amit Saharan and Aman Singhal, offers 5-month-long courses in Data Analytics, the company said.

“Ankit, Aman and Amit are hustlers by nature, and have spent a considerable amount of time in outcome-based education. Their forte is technology and their pedagogy. It was an obvious choice for us to place our bets on Prepleaf,” said Prateek Shukla, Co-founder & CEO, Masai School.

“This acquisition takes Masai one step closer towards our mission of increasing India’s employability quotient and improving accessibility of quality holistic and outcome driven education for all to build a rewarding career with a skills-first approach. We want to become the go-to institute for India’s top companies to source high-caliber skilled talent across the spectrum.” added Shukla.

Prepleaf was initially launched as a test preparation platform based on a survey conducted among the alumni of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur, which deep-dived into test patterns of companies who visited the campus for placements.

Based on this, the team was able to build an initial minimum viable product for Prepleaf. In January 2021, the company started its 5-month course with a comprehensive training curriculum. Currently, Prepleaf has around 250 students enrolled in the Data Analytics test preparation courses.

Like Masai, Preleaf offers courses through an Income Share Agreement, where students study at zero-upfront fees and only pay if they earn more than ₹5LPA, after course completion, the company added.

“Prepleaf was founded with the single-minded focus of creating a paradigm shift in access to quality tech education and jobs in Data and Business Analytics. We are certainly thrilled to be part of the Masai family and make this ambition a reality by transforming the way skill-based education is delivered today and creating a world-class talent pool from India,” said Ankit Agrawal, the Co-founder & CEO of Prepleaf.
