The fast-growing digital marketing ecosystem needs a constant pool of talent coming into it, and if there is one organization which has been at the forefront of creating and honing this pool, it has been Digital Vidya.

In an all-cash deal, Digital Vidya with this acquisition will expand its reach in the major cities by delivering high-quality offline digital marketing certification programs at affordable prices on a large scale.

In the year 2015, Digital Vidya acquired Digital Academy India and strengthened its position in the digital marketing industry. With DSIM’s addition, Digital Vidya will establish itself as an industry integrated ed-tech company that is poised to develop skills that matter the most in the job markets. DSIM registered revenue of approximately Rs 17 crore in the financial year 2018-19.

Sharing his views about this acquisition, Anuj Batra, CEO, Digital Vidya, said, “With the new addition to the family, we will expand our reach in the major cities via the offline channel.  It complements Digital Vidya’s core strength in providing training programs globally in the online channel.”

DSIM was founded by Kunal Choudhary in 2011. About the acquisition, Kunal quoted, “Apurva Panwar, the co-founder, and I leave DSIM with a lot of pride in having shaped careers & businesses of over 25,000 professionals and entrepreneurs. At DSIM we got the opportunity to work with really talented and amazing people. With Digital Vidya management we believe that DSIM is in the right hands & they will continue to impart impeccable digital marketing skills. We wish the new management every bit of success and good luck.”

Digital Vidya has been profitable since its inception. Over 55 employees of DSIM have joined Digital Vidya post this acquisition.

Speaking on the opportunity of digital marketing as a career choice, Anuj Batra talks about a recent report by LinkedIn which stated digital marketing as “one of most in-demand job skills”. This report also mentions that there are 7000+ digital marketing vacancies and skilled personnel are required to fill this gap. In addition, the report claims that Digital Marketing education firms, such as Digital Vidya, will have to play an important role in bridging the gap between available and needed digital marketing talent.
