Pearson has bought complete control of the vocational training company IndiaCan.
Originally set up by Pearson and Educomp in 2009, IndiaCan is one of India’s leading vocational raining companies and operates throughout the country.
Pearson has now bought Educomp’s 50% shareholding in the company. The deal follows on from Pearson recently buying 100% of TutorVista, a Bangalore-based education services company which Pearson previously owned a majority stake in.
Bhavneet Singh, president of Pearson India English & Informal Learning, said: “Taking complete ownership of IndiaCan represents another milestone for our ambitious plans in India and follows a similar buy out at TutorVista, the Bangalore-based learning services company.
"IndiaCan has developed market leading expertise in retail and vocational training and support that will supplement Pearson's goal to help improve learning outcomes for students throughout India.”
