DEV’s initial focus will be to deploy its platforms across both India and China where Veative is already present, representing a ‘significant market opportunities’ for both companies.
Both parties are also exploring ways to develop the partnership into ‘a complete e-learning ecosystem’ for distance-based education, covering a range of aspects, from career exploration to employment onboarding into continuing professional development.
