NEW YORK, March 1, 2023 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/

    Asia's largest Integrated Learning Skilling & Workforce development company

upGrad today announced Dan Rosensweig, a longtime Silicon Valley Executive

joining its Board of Directors. He comes on board as an Independent

Non-Executive Director and joins the current senior representatives from

Singapore-based investor Temasek and International Finance Corporation (IFC).

    As President and CEO of Chegg (NYSE: CHGG) since 2010, Dan Rosensweig has

transformed the company into the leading, student-first connected learning

platform. Dan also serves on the Board of Adobe and is a senior advisor to TPG

Growth Ventures & Kleiner Perkins.

    "I am excited to be joining upGrad's Board of Directors as there has never

been a better time to provide accessible and flexible higher education and

skills training to learners around the world. By working in partnership with

key universities and major technology enterprises, particularly in India,

upGrad can help transform the workplace of tomorrow," said Dan Rosensweig,

President and CEO of Chegg.

    Adding to the development, Ronnie Screwvala, Co-founder and Chairperson of

upGrad commented, "The US and India along with Asia are the two largest markets

for Skilling & Learning Development and Dan brings with him a powerful global

overview of this sector which in turn, shall continue to cement our corporate

governance as we march ahead in our mission of disrupting the future of jobs

and careers of tomorrow."

    He further added, "Any Board of a company needs diversity and today

diversity is not about gender alone. Most early-stage companies do not make the

transition of having only Investors/founders constituting the Board and so get

blind-sighted when it comes to the next level of scale, global expansion and

even being a Listed company. Also, the US is the second most important market

for upGrad outside of India/Asia, I see Dan bring a lot to the table from his

views on M&As to organic growth. Every new-economy company must have a diverse

set of Board members, independent of the thinking of PE investors who are more

focused on their own upside, and new fund raises vs building businesses to

outlast others."
