As a study abroad platform, upGrad Abroad assists learners in pursuing higher education overseas. In a strategic partnership with Yuno Learning, upGrad Abroad ensures outcome-oriented test preparation without the need to set up their own teaching operations.
Client Background: upGrad Abroad
Established in 2021, upGrad Abroad is a subsidiary of upGrad. It offers a unique blended learning model, enabling students to complete the first year of their program online with a renowned Indian educational institution before finishing their course on-campus at a foreign university. This approach facilitates a world-class educational experience right from home, substantially saving on tuition and living costs.
Challenges:
upGrad Abroad students must pass English proficiency tests such as TOEFL, IELTS, and the Duolingo Test to gain admission to foreign universities. However, many students faced the challenge of meeting the required scores. Additionally, upGrad had to overcome common EdTech obstacles, including creating top-quality coaching and content, ensuring scalability, maintaining student engagement, evaluating learning outcomes, and providing personalized support, all while avoiding the costs and time investment of setting up their own teaching operations.
Solution:
upGrad formed a partnership with Yuno Learning to leverage their expertise in delivering outcome-oriented online classes and get the desired exam results for their customers. By providing live, online classes, and personalized support for each of their customers, upGrad became a one-stop solution for students aiming to study abroad. upGrad now offers an end-to-end Study Abroad solution to their customers without having to invest and operate a teaching infrastructure.
Implementation:
upGrad selected Yuno Learning after a meticulous search for a coaching partner. Yuno Learning utilized their proprietary tech platform to offer a seamless, engaging learning experience. The tech platform is used by:
- upGrad’s customers to attend live classes offered by Yuno Learning’s educators
- upGrad’s developers to integrate the learning data into their own CRM
Results and Impact:
Each year, thousands of upGrad Abroad’s students get their desired exam results with Yuno Learning, achieving commendable scores, and secure admissions in international universities. This has empowered Upgrad to successfully operate and grow their study abroad business.

Such a large scale requires operations and processes that meet measurable quality standards.
