Upskilling platform Scaler acqui-hires Pepcoding

Business Standard  

Bengaluru-based online upskilling platform Scaler has merged Pepcoding, a Delhi-based education platform, with itself. Sumeet Malik, Pepcodings's chief executive and co-founder, has joined Scaler as an instructor and content creator to help improve learner experience, especially in the low-level design (LLD) curriculum. Other executives of Pepcoding have joined Scaler as full-time employees across teams. Pepcoding, which was founded in 2017, provided undergraduate students with courses to improve their coding skills, learn with like-minded people, and secure employment. Pepcoding claims to have worked with more than 5,000 learners. This is Scaler's fourth acquisition in the last two years: AppliedRoots, Coding Minutes, and Coding Elements were the edtech brands it had bought earlier.
