Collaboration to train people in multiple languages
Udemy (Nasdaq: UDMY), a global AI-powered skills acceleration platform, has announced a strategic partnership with Entri, a leading learning platform focused on India’s 400 million vernacular learners, to expand upskilling opportunities in India.
The partnership brings together Udemy’s expert-led courses with Entri’s job training programs in multiple Indian languages to help learners across India reach their career goals.
There’s never been a more critical time for upskilling. Recent research indicates that just 30% of India-based professionals feel confident in their AI skills and 61% report a lack of clear employer guidance on applying AI to daily tasks. This represents an urgent need for accelerated professional development, Udemy said on 20 Jan.
Through this collaboration, the companies will bring Udemy’s dynamic content engine to Entri’s diverse learner base across India, making it easier for more people to access cutting-edge technical and soft skills training in multiple languages, including regional dialects.
Entri contributes local market expertise and proven job training capabilities in regional languages such as Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam, while Udemy provides its robust global learning platform to expand professional training throughout India.
Udemy serves more than 17 million learners and 9,500 instructors in India, delivering a comprehensive upskilling solution for millions of Indians to help advance career opportunities.
“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 Udemy’s and Entri’s 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.”
