In a funding round led by Owl Ventures, the innovative cross-border workforce mobility platform BorderPlus has raised Rs 60 crore ($7 million), with participation from entrepreneurs Binny Bansal, Mithun Sacheti, Ritesh Agarwal, Aakash Chaudhary, and Apoorva Patni.
This funding round is the first institutional (external) funding round for BorderPlus.
The money raised will support its objective of making it easier for skilled Indian workers, beginning with nurses and healthcare professionals, to pursue careers abroad.
BorderPlus was introduced in January of this year by Ayush Mathur, a former senior leader at OYO, and Mayank Kumar, co-founder of upGrad.
Complete school training, language acquisition, visa processing, job openings, cultural integration, local qualification recognition, funding, and talent leasing are all included in the end-to-end support offered by BorderPlus.
With a comprehensive approach that includes language instruction, visa processing, job placements, cultural integration, and financial support, the company has already started training its first group of nurses in preparation for international placements.
