Building Job driven Virtual Tech University for India 🇮🇳
We are building live teaching infrastructure that enables handful of top educators (from Google, Facebook, etc) to coach a large number of students. We train college students in a year-long live cohorts and they pay us a portion of their salary as fees once they get a tech job (Income Sharing Agreement)
AlgoUniversity positions itself as a weekend-first, job-driven virtual tech university in India, offering a DSA-focused program for working professionals and college students. It emphasizes product-based placements, externships, and mentorship from alumni of IIIT-Hyderabad and IIT-Bombay with careers in top tech companies.
A weekend-oriented live-classes program with recorded sessions and TAs for doubt support, designed to upskill in Data Structures & Algorithms for career transitions into product-based roles. Features include live classes, flexible timings, 1:1 mentorship, externships, a dedicated placement cell, projects with industry mentors, access to a large repository of interview experiences, mock interviews, resume optimization, and ongoing lifelong access to materials and the AlgoU community.
Who it’s for: Working professionals (0-10 years experience) and college students in India seeking to switch to or advance in product-based tech roles.
Asking applicants to apply, mentions batch starts soon, testimonials, and a funded mentorship-backed teaching team; active hiring/mentoring team implied but no explicit funding round noted.
Co-Founder at AlgoUniversity (S21) I previously worked as an SRE intern at Google, and as an SWE at Apple after graduating from university. I have an extensive teaching experience and have previously taught in other edtech startups as lead instructor for over 2 years, with my students bagging offers from Google, Microsoft, Bytedance etc. I look after scaling the teaching infrastructure at AlgoUniversity.
