About Altera Institute

Altera Institute is a Gurgaon headquartered education institute that is redefining the gold standard of management education for the digital and AI first world. By doing so, it is building the next generation of business leaders in the country. The mission of the company is to build employability through education.

Education is a hard and important problem to solve for. India needs to double its higher education infrastructure in order to serve its large demographic of youth. Within what exists, quality is a large problem with studies reporting that 50% of Indian graduates are unemployable. Add to this the shift in the skills ecosystem at the workplace with AI and digitization. All of this has led to a higher-education infrastructure that is unable to serve the aspirations of its students. So, you have MBA students from legacy institutes who are unplaced and professionals who are struggling to level up in their careers because they don’t have the skills to progress.

This is exactly what we solve for at Digiaccel Learning and Altera Institute.

The secret sauce at the company is its instructional design, a learner centric ethos and a bar for quality that runs across touchpoints. This reflects in a 80%+ NPS across all programs since inception.

We are looking for smart passionate folks to join us in this mission of building a better, smarter and more outcome oriented education system. We are a young company and each role has the ability to make a large impact. We can assure of a very talent dense, intellectually honest, action oriented and collaborative environment.

We are sure that you will join for the opportunity and stay for the impact of seeing your work help thousands of others.
