I can’t believe it’s already been 10 years since I started here. Over these years, we have connected 18+ Mil people to educational opportunities in 100+ curriculum areas, and helped more than 3,000 campuses promote their 16,000+ programs across the country through multiple online and offline marketing channels. How did we do this? As I see it, our love and commitment to bringing the value of education to life, always doing the right thing for our students and school partners, embracing change for the better as the only constant, and all the while having fun!

Life has taught me that a clear sense of purpose drives performance, and the higher the purpose that one connects to, the greater the performance and the results. As we begin the next phase of our exciting journey as Thruline, our purpose to improve people’s life through education goes even further; to help people find rewarding careers by playing a more direct role in connecting students to employment opportunities, what we call our Career Enablement solution.

This next step is a natural evolution consistent with our values of thinking big and solving large problems that make meaningful differences to lives and communities. Being agile and data-driven together with 360° learning will be the key pillars of our growth as we deepen our insights and mastery to be the Thruline that connects students to schools and rewarding careers and bring outstanding success to our students, partners, employees and investors.

Welcome aboard and thank you for joining us in this scintillating and transformational ride!

Jai Shankar, Chief Information Officer
