Nomination Title: Artha Learning Inc.
Artha Learning Inc. is a full-service digital learning design firm specializing in end-to-end instructional design and rapid as well as custom development of learner-centric courses. We partner with organizations to design and develop training covering all aspects of eLearning such as instructional design, technical build and learner experience & engagement.
Artha was founded in 2017 by Garima Gupta, an ex-software engineer, trainer, teacher and eLearning developer. In about four years of its existence, Artha has grown from strength to strength – employs seven full time staff, and has serviced marquee clients and won international awards such as LPI’s Startup of the year finalist, Marcom’s Platinum and IMA’s Best in Class, Brandon Hall award for Custom Content, LearnX award for Learning Transfer and IELA award for Blended Learning.
Artha Learning stands apart from its competition because of its intense focus on customer support. Any work done is fully supported for an year, and the team stands behind its work (Costco style!).
Since Jan 2019, Garima and her team has created a name of themselves in the eLearning scene, specially in higher-ed and non-profit. Most of our clients have come to us through word-of-mouth referrals, and we have turned almost all of our clients into repeat business over time.
This is done through intense focus on customer needs, and then utilizing the best possible bespoke approach to high-quality custom eLearning courses. Our mission is to build world-class eLearning courses that change how learners and clients perceive digital learning. We leave no stone unturned in our quest, and support all our courses for no additional charge for a whole year. No change requests required. We often train our clients as well, so they can make minor updates themselves, thus saving precious time and money in the long run.
Artha Learning is on an ambitious journey to become a reputable, well-known name in the eLearning industry- offering quality work to higher-ed institutes and non-profits that usually only huge corporates with big budgets can afford.
We started in the highly competitive arena of custom eLearning development with no connections to the industry. Our founder, Garima was an immigrant to Canada, a woman of color, with a burning desire to build something valuable.
The first challenge was to get work! With no connections in the eLearning industry, this was as hard as one might expect. For the first year and half, Garima was a solo entrepreneur – supporting key early clients such as top executive education center of Canada. Word of mouth about her work quickly secured work at the affiliated management school (Schulich School of Business- top 50 B-school in world) and the top law school of Canada. Artha won International eLearning Association’s GOLD for Blended course design in the very first year of operation.
There has been no looking back since – we service clients such as MSF world-wide, William Osler Hospitals, Government of Canada, ACCES Employment, Schulich school of Business, Osgoode Professional Development, CPLED, CPA Canada, Aeroseal, Institute for Future of Law Practice, Lassonde School of Engineering and others.
This year, Artha Learning won 9 different international awards when other older were laying people off. This signals our entry as a bonafide, serious contender in the eLearning space. It shows that one does not need to be an industry insider, or a heavily funded company to do good, honest work and be recognized for it.
