NxtWave is one of India’s fastest-growing Ed-Tech startups, revolutionising the 21st-century job market by transforming youth into highly skilled tech professionals irrespective of their educational background with its CCBP 4.0 programs.

As an official partner for NSDC under the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, Government of India, and recognised by NASSCOM, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India, and Startup India, NxtWave has earned a reputation for excellence. The startup has received accolades such as ‘The Greatest Brand in Education’ in a research-based listing by URS Media, a leading international media house.

The Ed-tech brand eliminates the entry barrier to learning tech skills by offering vernacular content and interactive learning. Learning in one’s mother tongue helps achieve higher comprehension, deeper attention, longer retention, and greater outcomes.

Presently, NxtWave has paid subscribers from 647+ districts across India. In just 2.5 years, CCBP 4.0 learners have been hired by 1700+ companies, including Google, Amazon, Nvidia, Goldman Sachs, Oracle, Deloitte, and more.
