International Operations: Over 60% of company's business comes from its international business. There are more than 300,000 learners upskilling via Simplilearn from U.S. and other markets.

Domestic operations - While 70% of domestic business comes from Bangalore, Mumbai and Delhi, the company has set strong targets from other markets like Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Kolkata where the demand for digital skilling is growing at a double-digit rate. In March 2019, the company has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) to upskill learners in digital skills. As a part of the MoU, 33 of Simplilearn's courses are accredited by NSDC, making Simplilearn a key contributor to the government's Skill India program. Deeper curriculum in key skills areas: The company's main focus is to get deeper into categories that are going to dominate the tech space which includes Cloud, Data Science, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Growing enterprise segment: Simplilearn derives around 30% of its business from enterprise reskilling and upskilling. Currently the company is working with 200+ enterprises across the globe. On a cumulative basis, the company has around 1000 enterprise customers including fortune 100 organizations. Krishna Kumar, Founder and CEO at Simplilearn, said, "We are witnessing a great demand for digital skilling certification courses amongst individual professionals and enterprises. Further, we have been able to grow very efficiently, running at roughly break-even, making us one of the most successful companies in the ed-tech space.
