Bangalore, India, November 30, 2017- AEON Learning
Private Limited (AEON), the edtech company that offers technology to

that it has acquired Acadgild, an online edtech startup that offers high-end

global workforce to produce readily deployable skilled talent. The acquisition
was the result of finding a perfect synergy of technology, talent and target
audience between Acadgild and Avagmah.

differentiated approach and offers a hybrid model that combines live classes
and an online platform for learning. Acadgild offers programs on leading edge
technology skills with hands-on mentorship from industry experts. It works with
various corporates offering over 35 industry ready skill development courses,
some of them being android programing, analytics, big data and more.
Vikalp Jain (co-founder of Acadgild), who joins as President of AEON
Learning 
said, “There are clear synergies in the
business processes and target markets of both Avagmah and Acadgild and this
acquisition puts us in a formidable position to address both education and
reskilling needs of working professionals and will help us grow and scale
faster than ever”
AEON Learning till
date has raised a cumulative funding of $6.5 million and expects to reach a
student base of over 100,000 in 5 years time.
