Indian edtech sector rides the AI wave as upskilling gains momentum

 India's Edtech Sector Embraces AI-Led Transformation



India’s edtech industry is witnessing a major shift as artificial intelligence (AI) becomes central to education and skill development. From school children to seasoned professionals, learners are increasingly viewing AI not as a futuristic concept but as a vital tool for today’s world. The demand for AI education in India is growing faster than in many developed nations.


AI is now a core skill globally. As per BrightCHAMPS, 58% of students worldwide already use AI in their learning, while only 36% use basic tech tools — highlighting a move from passive to active tech usage. In India, the trend is even stronger. BrightCHAMPS launched a Gen AI course for kids that became a top-three bestseller in just eight months, reflecting high interest among both students and parents.


Professionals are also driving this change. A 2025 study revealed that 96% of Indian professionals want to be AI-ready. Platforms like Emeritus report a tripling in AI course enrollments year-on-year, mostly from experienced professionals in IT, engineering, and consulting. Simplilearn notes that 30–40% of its revenue now comes from AI offerings, with interest coming from both technical and business leadership roles.


Edtech companies aren’t just teaching AI — they’re using it. PhysicsWallah, through Project Bharat, is localising learning using AI-powered translation and dubbing tools. It also offers AI-based study tools like Prep Meter and PW Books, helping students personalise and digitise their education.


Generative AI (Gen AI) is particularly popular in executive education. Platforms like Imarticus Learning report strong uptake of Gen AI courses among business leaders seeking strategic AI application skills.


India stands out in this AI-learning revolution thanks to its large, ambitious learner base and proactive education providers. Unlike the West, where AI is often confined to tech circles, India is democratising access — making AI education available to students, professionals, and executives alike.


With edtech firms innovating and parents investing, India is not just catching up — it’s leading the global race in AI upskilling.

IISc to Empower Tribal Students as Future Semiconductor Leaders

Image
 Bridging the Gap: Empowering Tribal Students in Semiconductor Technology The semiconductor industry, essential for powering modern technologies like smartphones and satellites, remains largely inaccessible to marginalized communities in India. Despite a strong engineering talent pool, representation from Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) in semiconductor fields is minimal, with reserved seats often going unfilled. To address this gap, the Ministry of Tribal Affairs (MoTA) and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, have launched a fully sponsored semiconductor training programme for tribal students from rural areas. Hosted at IISc’s Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE), the initiative aims to equip students with industry-relevant skills and open doors to high-tech careers. A Tiered Learning Approach The programme is divided into three modules: Exposure Module (2–3 weeks): Introductory overview of semiconductor tech. Foundation Module (60 days): ...
