The edtech startup provides Bachelor of Design (B.Des), Master of Design (M.Des), BBA, MBA, BSc, and BTech degree programmes in partnership with universities.

Talking about ImaginXP, Shashank said,

“Our test of time was during the pandemic when the traditional university model got disrupted. We quickly scaled up our digital platform MyCoach to provide for-credit courses to the universities and engage the students on their behalf.”

Within three years, the company claims to have partnered with 22 universities across the country. ImaginXP employs more than 70 full-time faculty members and over 1,250 working professionals who act as corporate coaches on the MyCoach platform to train, mentor and create work-like environments on projects to increase student employability.
