Simplilearn acquires Silicon Valley-based Market Motive for $10,000,000
Market Motive, the startup I joined in 2009 (as employee #2) has been sold to Bangalore-based Simplilearn.
“Simplilearn, a Bengaluru-based education technology start-up, has acquired Market Motive, a Silicon Valley-based digital marketing training company for around $10 million (Rs 64 crore).
Market Motive was co-founded in 2007 by Stebbins, John Marshall, and Avinash Kaushik, digital marketing evangelist at Google. The firm has delivered web-based certification programmes to Fortune 500 companies, including Microsoft, Home Depot, Dell, Ogilvy, Federal Express and JPMorgan Chase, and education institutes like Duke University, Benedictine University and Concordia University.”

Super proud of my work with this company, as a content developer, course editor, and Marketing Manager. I’ll be staying on with Simplilearn as the US Brand Manager, helping shepherd the brand conflation during onboarding, and guiding the India team through localizing their communications for the NA market.
