Hello, I am Hari Rastogi, the co-founder and CEO of RiseUpp, Indiaโs no.1 online course comparison platform that helps users find, compare and enroll in the best online courses for their career goals.I have always been passionate about education and technology, and how they can transform lives and careers. With a BTech in Electronics, an MBA in Marketing, and a Post Graduate degree in Strategy from IIM Trichy (ranked 2nd in my batch), my career spans over a decade in top IT MNCs, including a pivotal role at Liferay as the SAARC region head for alliances.However, I realized that there was a huge gap in the online education industry, especially in India. The world is changing fast, and people need to keep reskilling and upskilling themselves to be future-ready. Online courses are one of the best ways to do this, as they offer flexibility, affordability, and accessibility. However, finding the right course is not easy, as users face three major problems:๐Course Discovery: With over 1 million online courses and 4000+ providers, finding the right course can be challenging.๐Lack of Information: Users struggle to make informed decisions due to limited course details and the absence of comparison options.๐Trust Issues: Over 95% of course providers lack reviews and ratings.Thatโs why I quit my job and started RiseUpp, along with my co-founder Navneet, who is a CS graduate from IIT Indore. Our vision is to create a platform for online courses, where users can quickly discover, compare, and enroll in online courses aligned to their career goals. We offer comprehensive course details, reviews, and ratings, as well as personalized recommendations and guidance from career mentors.Since its inception, RiseUpp has grown rapidly with over 10,000 users and 2500 courses from 50+ providers. We've received positive feedback for improving learning outcomes and career prospects.I believe that RiseUpp is not just a business, but a social impact venture. Weโre empowering learners across India and the world to achieve their dream careers, be future-ready, and keep pace with time. I am proud to be an Indian startup founder, with a global vision and reach.I have a clear vision, a strong execution, and a high impact as a business leader and entrepreneur. I am always looking for new opportunities, challenges, and collaborations. I am also keen to learn from others, share my insights, and contribute to the community. If you are interested in online education, RiseUpp, or anything else, feel free to connect with me. I would love to hear from you.
