Udemy, a leading AI-powered skills acceleration platform, has announced a strategic partnership with Entri to expand access to career-ready upskilling for India's vernacular learners. This collaboration combines Udemy's global expert-led courses with Entri's localized job training programs delivered in multiple Indian languages, targeting learners beyond major cities and addressing the growing demand for skills in AI, technical, and soft areas.
The partnership addresses a critical gap in professional development amid rapid technological changes. Recent data shows that just 30% of professionals in India feel confident in their AI skills, while 61% lack clear guidance from employers on applying AI in daily work. This underscores the need for accessible, accelerated training.
By integrating Udemy's dynamic content with Entri's proven vernacular programs, the collaboration makes advanced technical and soft skills more reachable. Learners across India can now benefit from expert-led courses in native languages and regional dialects, helping bridge urban-rural divides in education access.
Entri's strengths in local market knowledge and job-oriented training complement Udemy's global scale, which already supports millions in India. The move expands opportunities for career advancement through innovative, language-inclusive learning.
“We are committed to empowering learners with career-building skills through culturally relevant experiences that drive meaningful outcomes,” said Ramji Sundararajan, President of Consumer at Udemy. “By offering our platform in regional Indian languages, we can better serve Udemy’s growing customer base and expand the addressable learners in India. Through this partnership, we’re unlocking stronger career outcomes through product innovation and local execution, reinforcing both companies’ shared focus on improving employability across India.”
“This strategic partnership is built around a shared belief that India’s next wave of learners will come from native-language audiences,” said Mohammed Hisamuddin, Founder & CEO at Entri. “Entri brings deep local execution and vernacular reach at scale, while Udemy brings global platform strength, content depth, and massive learner demand. Together, we believe this partnership can significantly expand access to high-quality learning across India.”
This alliance strengthens efforts to democratize skills training and boost workforce readiness in India's diverse linguistic landscape.
