<p> Bengaluru-based test-prep training and admissions consulting company CrackVerbal has plans to open test preparation centres in Mumbai, the NCR, Pune and Hyderabad.<br /><br /></p>.<p>CrackVerbal CEO Arun Jagannathan said, “Currently, we are operating in three places in Bengaluru, and one centre in Chennai. We have plans to open more centres.”<br /><br />Frustrated with teaching preparatory courses made for Americans to an Indian audience, Jagannathan started CrackVerbal in 2006, to teach Indians in a unique way that made sense to them. “I ended up designing the CrackVerbal curriculum from the ground up to include every feature I saw as missing in traditional courses. So far, we have mentored around 5,000 students,” he said.<br /><br />The company aims to double its revenue in fiscal 2018. “We are planning to achieve this through franchisees and also by focusing more on online courses,” he said.<br /><br />According to the ‘E-Learning Market Trends & Forecast 2014-2016 Report’ by Docebo, the e-learning market is worth $51.5 billion.<br /><br />Talking about it, he said, “The interesting thing is a large part of this market’s growth seems to be fuelled by Asia. In this, the prominent countries are India and China.”<br /><br />On competitors, he said, “CrackVerbal has only one competitor — the Internet. In today’s world, a determined self-motivated individual can prepare oneself for GMAT on his own — no test-prep organisation is required. The Internet is a sea of resources where one can find just the training material to ace the exam.”</p>
