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."
