52% more learner engagement: Here’s how GrowthSchool aced the scaling test.

GrowthSchool, a mainstay in e-learning, set out to expand its reach by adding 100,000+ new viewers through recorded webinars. To make this possible, they needed:

• Buffer-free and mobile-friendly streaming
• A tailored learner experience
• Predictable pricing to scale efficiently

But there was a problem, Vimeo. Their existing video hosting provider wasn't cutting it.

What went wrong?

1. Vimeo’s pricing plan was not supportive of GrowthSchool’s scaling plans.
2. Poor compression increased bandwidth expenses by 36%.
3. Serious playback quality issues on choppy networks and mobile devices.
4. Limited customization options restricted the learner experience.

To scale successfully, they needed a solution that could deliver seamless streaming, boost learner engagement, and drive more conversions —all without unpredictable costs or technical limitations.

Enter Gumlet

GrowthSchool made the switch, and:

1. Got a predictable scale-friendly pricing plan
2. Migrated 100,000+ videos in under two weeks with ZERO downtime
3. Automatically optimized videos for a smooth, buffer-free playback
4. Secured courses with industry-grade DRM for piracy protection
5. Fully customized their video player to match their brand and user needs

And it didn’t stop there. GrowthSchool gained real-time insights, frictionless integration with their tech stack, 24/7 multi-channel support, and a 99.95% uptime SLA.

Kamlesh Meghwal, GrowthSchool's Head of Engineering shared the following:

"Gumlet didn’t just solve our immediate roadblocks—it future-proofed our platform. From seamless video optimization to lightning-fast delivery, Gumlet has been a game-changer in our growth journey."
