One of the fastest-growing tech upskilling startups, Scaler has announced the acquisition of Coding Minutes, an online learning platform for USD 1 million in an all-cash deal.

With this acquisition, Coding Minutes will focus on building specialised content that engages the beginner-level tech aspirant. The edtech brand is focussing on upskilling the existing tech talent. Scaler will also tailor content towards students and professionals who have no background in coding.

Coding Minutes was started by Prateek Narang, Mohit Uniyal and Jatin Virmani in early 2021. Coding Minutes will continue to bring pocket-friendly specialised courses for beginners as part of the acquisition. It also strengthens Scaler’s instructor and engineering teams.

Scaler acquired Coding Elements in August to accelerate business growth.

Abhimanyu Saxena, Co-Founder, Scaler & InterviewBit, said, “We are very excited about this acquisition as the Coding Minutes team is fantastic. They are a great combination of outstanding engineering minds with a sincere passion for teaching and giving back to the community. It is truly a 1+1>2 kind of partnership where the impact we can create together for the technology ecosystem in the country is tremendous and something neither of us could have achieved without each other. As we gear up for our next phase of growth and expansion, the experience that Prateek and Mohit bring to the table will help us tap into a much wider learner base. Thanks to them, we at Scaler are one step closer to becoming a world-class virtual tech-varsity.”
