California based online learning platform - Coursera files for US IPO
In the US, Coursera Inc has filed for a stock market listing revealing a surge in revenue due to the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The company said in a filing that the revenue of the company rose 59% to $293.5 million for the year ended Dec. 31, 2020.
As per the company website, the company offers courses like machine learning, cloud computing and language learning, with its platform used by more than 3,700 colleges and universities.
It launched “Coursera for Campus” in response to the pandemic to help educational institutions offer courses to stuck-at-home students.
