With programs ranging across sectors such as IT, banking, finance, and more, the Antwalk experience is a blend of collaboration and mentorship. They also boast an impressive network of over 4,000 industry experts from more than 500 brands.

This teaching method guarantees that the learning is practical and directly suitable to their daily challenges as employees.
Antwalk successfully raised $7.5 million in a Series A round led by GSV Ventures 2021. The round included the participation of accelerator Y Combinator and Antwalk's existing investor Matrix Partners India.
