  • Chicago, IL (1888PressRelease) November 05, 2015 - Founded in 2014, the company connects university students with peers at other campuses and helps them build local networks through events and a digital "Library" for sharing class notes and videos.

The startup's objective is to provide value deals to students and provide a targeted customer base to vendors. It has signed memorandums of understanding with more than 40 colleges and institutes such as Bharti Vidya peeth, Navrachana University, ICFAI and St. Xaviers.

    The platform currently has a base of over 50,000 users and has offices in Pune and Ahmedabad.With the latest funding, AlmaMapper plans to scale up operations by entering new markets within India and across the world.
