Postman invests Rs 2 Cr for API lab at BITS Pilani

Software as a service (SaaS) startup Postman plans to invest Rs 2 crore to open an application programming interface (API) Lab at the Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani (BITS Pilani) to promote API literacy amongst students and aspiring developers. 

Postman’s ongoing partnership with BITS Pilani also includes a classroom programme designed to train and support educators incorporating APIs into their curriculum.

The new API Lab at BITS Pilani will give a space for students to explore this developing technology as part of Postman’s student programme effort, which is meant to encourage API literacy among students and educators. APIs enable interactions between apps as well as functionalities within apps.

Launched by Abhinav Asthana and Abhijit Kane, Postman has more than 17 million users and 500,000 organizations on its platform. Postman’s customers include Salesforce, Stripe, Kroger, Cisco, PayPal, and Microsoft. 

In August last year, the Bengaluru and San Francisco-based company had raised $225 million in its Series D round led by existing investor Insight Partners.
