Bengaluru: PowerSchool, a leading cloud-based software provider for K-12 education, has unveiled plans to expand its India-based employee base from 1,300 to 2,000 personnel over the next 3 to 5 years.
PowerSchool has invested nearly 40 crores to enhance its Bengaluru headquarters. The expansion includes an increase in the Centre of Excellence (CoE) space from 75,000 sq ft to 112,000 sq ft. They have also announced plans to expand its office in Chennai in 2024.
The CoE will incorporate the latest technology into PowerSchool’s educational technology products.
