IDP Education sets up digital campus in Chennai

Andrew Barkla, CEO, IDP Education, said, “The digital campus cements IDP’s position as a key player in the edutech services space in Chennai. The launch is a defining moment as we transition from an analogue company to a digital, omni-channel edutech organisation,” Barkla said. “We set ourselves a vision to build a leading platform and connected community to guide international students to achieve their study and career goals.”

The digital campus in Chennai is set to become the nerve centre which will drive the company’s platform innovation and customer-led product design. The space will service IDP’s global IELTS network and student services offices across 60 countries. The Campus is also home to IDP’s Academy, a talent incubator programme that provides emerging digital professionals with an in-house training and development programme.

“Programmes such as these provide a nurturing environment for our people to develop new skills so they can master the technology advances of tomorrow.”

Priyatham Rajagopalan, Chief Operating Officer of IDP’s Innovation Hub, said, “The Academy is IDP’s programme that aims to identify talent from colleges and support them to develop new skills in cloud services, enterprise grade solutions, progressive web applications, among others.
