  • PrepInsta Scales B2I Model in North India with Strategic University Tie-Ups

    PrepInsta

    New Delhi: In a significant move to strengthen its Business-to-Institution (B2I) model across India, tech upskilling and placement preparation platform PrepInsta has officially partnered with NorthCap University in Gurugram and Mangalayatan University.

    This strategic expansion marks PrepInsta’s formal entry into North India, following its successful collaborations with 100+ institutions in South India.

    PrepInsta Offerings

    As part of the partnerships, over 1,000 students will benefit from advanced tech training programs tailored to the demands of today’s job market.

    The platform’s offerings include industry-relevant modules in Generative AI, Machine Learning, Cloud Computing, and Data Science, preparing students for future-ready careers in a digital economy.

    To support institutions more holistically, PrepInsta has also rolled out Optimus, an advanced SaaS-based platform designed to automate and streamline campus placement processes, learning journeys, assessments, and academic governance—making it easier for colleges to manage student development in a unified, tech-driven ecosystem.

    “Having built a strong track record of success in South India, we are now set to replicate that momentum in the North,” said Manish Agarwal, Co-founder, PrepInsta.

    “These partnerships represent more than just expansion – they reflect our mission to empower students with the skills and mentorship needed for career success in the tech-driven future.”

    The company’s recent acquisition by EdTech leader Adda247 has further reinforced its capability to scale nationally, ensuring that its upskilling solutions reach a broader student population.

    PrepInsta now plans to partner with 250+ educational institutions across India in the coming fiscal year as part of its vision to democratize access to industry-ready tech education.
