Indian varsity-backed edtech platform, RiseBack, expands into Africa

An Indian varsity-backed edtech platform, RiseBack, has announced expanding its footprint into Africa.

The founder, an Indian American Social Entrepreneur, Dr. Tausif Malik, confirmed the development in a press statement forwarded to Ripples Nigeria.

The African launch comes on the heels of an initial launch in the USA, and is expected to open Africans to an alternative to the existing mortal and brick university.

The launch will see RiseBack pitch its tent to compete for market share with the likes of National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) and Nexford, which are other digital edtech partners operating in Nigeria and offering university degrees.
