The startup’s goal is to empower approval teams around the world to make smart, data-driven decisions to maximize approval results, optimize market spend, and increase reduction rates.

“The emergence of covid-19 has accelerated digital adoption in the education sector. Conventional marketing processes are now digitized. Although new business models in education are being validated with a new stack of technology, student acquisition remains a blank space. ExtraaEdge is building this stack by leveraging new age marketing automation and machine learning to make admission predictable, ”said Abhishek Ballabh, Co-Founder of ExtraaEdge.

“As institutes evolve to survive, we are seeing an exciting change in the way they use marketing automation and predictive analytics to attract customers. This is a billion dollar opportunity that ExtraaEdge is seizing at an impressive rate, ”said Sandeep Chawda, Partner at Pentathlon Ventures.

ExtraaEdge clients include BITS Pilani Dubai, Manchester Metropolitan University, Sharda University, IIHM, and Jain University, to name a few.

Recently, the company started operations in the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom to seek clients in the field of international education.
