Udemy, a platform focused on reskilling professionals through technology, has introduced Role Play, an AI-powered tool designed to help individuals develop essential soft skills.
Through interactive simulations, learners can engage in realistic business scenarios to practise communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills.
This new offering aims to provide learners with a more accessible way to improve their workplace capabilities. By combining expert-designed content with adaptive AI coaching, Role Play offers an opportunity for learners to build skills in a flexible, personalised manner.
AI simulations to support soft skills development
The Role Play tool offers a variety of simulated scenarios that cover key workplace situations, such as interviews, giving feedback, managing conflicts, negotiating, coaching, and setting goals. The AI provides real-time coaching and feedback, which is designed to support learners in refining their soft skills more effectively than traditional methods.
The platform empowers organizations to create custom simulations tailored to their specific business needs, while Udemy creators have already published over 2,000 Role Plays in just two weeks—demonstrating a rapidly growing content ecosystem.

According to Eren Bali, Udemy's chief technology officer and founder, "Role Play is a great example of the power of bringing together human expertise and AI. This tool will transform how essential skills are taught and learned.
"
Addressing the soft skills gap in today's workplace
Recent studies highlighted by Udemy show a significant gap in the communication of leadership strategies within organisations. While 83% of senior leaders believe effective leadership is crucial for success, only 28% of employees feel that their leaders are effectively communicating these shifts.
Role Play offers a potential solution by allowing learners to practise real-world scenarios and develop greater confidence in their communication and leadership abilities.
For organisations, Role Play can be a scalable solution for addressing soft skills gaps and enhancing collaboration. For individual professionals, it presents an accessible tool for developing skills that are increasingly valuable in today's workplace.
Adapting to evolving learning needs
Role Play is one of the early initiatives from Udemy's Innovation Studio, which aims to explore new ways of delivering and personalising learning experiences. The tool is built with flexibility in mind, offering instructors the ability to incorporate hands-on practice into their courses. It also allows for the use of six different AI characters, developed in partnership with ElevenLabs, which can be customised to suit various scenarios.
Frank Kane, a top-rated Udemy instructor, shared his thoughts on the tool's potential: "I've created three Role Play exercises already, and I can see the benefits for learners. The real-time feedback is valuable, helping students apply what they've learned in a practical context."

Samruddhi Mahamarg final stretch opening date: Check latest update about route, travel time, toll and future connectivity
The final 76-km stretch of the Samruddhi Mahamarg , from Igatpuri in Nashik to Amane in Thane, will be inaugurated on Thursday, completing the 701-km expressway linking Nagpur and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. However, full access for motorists from Mumbai, Thane, and Navi Mumbai will take another year due to pending construction of the Vadpe interchange. Samruddhi Mahamarg opening date: Top state leaders to attend inauguration Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, along with Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar, will attend the inauguration at Igatpuri. The final phase makes the Hindu Hrudaysamrat Balasaheb Thackeray Maharashtra Samruddhi Mahamarg fully operational. This expressway is one of Maharashtra's largest infrastructure projects. The 76-km stretch from Igatpuri to Amane has been built at a cost of ₹1,182 crore. It was developed in partnership with the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), according to the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC).

Toll charge on travelling through Samruddhi Mahamarg is Rs 2.06 per KM levied for light motor vehicles and Rs 3.32 for light motor commercial vehicles, Rs 6.97 for heavy vehicles having two axles, Rs 7.60 for heavy vehicles with 3 axles, Rs 10.93 for heavy construction machinery, and Rs 13.30 for oversized vehicles having seven or more axles. Samruddhi Mahamarg Route: Nagpur to Thane in 8 hours This newly completed section crosses the Kasara Ghat, a challenging terrain, and is expected to make travel safer and faster. The time taken to travel between Igatpuri and Amane will now reduce from more than 90 minutes to about 30 to 40 minutes. The full journey from Nagpur to Thane will now take eight hours instead of 16. Live Events Before this final stretch, 625 km of the expressway—from Nagpur to Igatpuri—was already open. Completion was delayed due to the pending link between Amane and the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway. Officials confirmed that the connection is now finished, making integration with the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) and the national highway network possible. Access from Mumbai still limited for a year Although the expressway ends near Amane village, which is about 60 km from Mumbai, easy access for motorists in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region is not yet available. The Vadpe interchange—an important connector to the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway—is still under construction and will take up to a year to complete. Until then, traffic from Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai must use a temporary access point near Shangrila Resort on the Mumbai-Nashik Highway, MSRDC officials said. Once completed, the Vadpe interchange will provide easier access from areas like Kalyan, Dombivli, Badlapur, Vasai, Virar, Panvel, and Navi Mumbai. Future plans for improved connectivity Plans are underway to add more interchanges, including connections from Badlapur and Kalyan, to improve overall access. Another key expansion is also in progress: the widening of the 21.6-km Mumbai-Nashik Highway stretch from Vadpe to Majiwada in Thane. This road, heavily used by commercial vehicles, will expand from four to eight lanes. The completed Samruddhi Mahamarg is expected to ease travel for Shirdi pilgrims from Mumbai and Thane, and help in faster transport of agricultural produce from the districts it passes through to the Mumbai region.

How is India benefiting from supply chain diversification away from China? Morgan Stanley's Chetan Ahya explains
Chetan Ahya , Chief Asia Economist, Morgan Stanley , says India is gaining advantage due to tariff differences with China. American companies are considering increased imports from India. Government policies are boosting manufacturing and exports. Electronics manufacturing is expanding beyond mobile phones. Infrastructure development will further strengthen India's manufacturing exports. Optimism in Indian equity markets aligns with positive economic fundamentals. The organization maintains a bullish outlook on India. You have often talked about India's capex cycle and that you see it picking up. How do you see it shaping up and the kind of divide between private and government capex evolving? Chetan Ahya: We think that the government capex has been the key anchor of the capex cycle and to the extent to which India has been embarking on this focus on manufacturing capex, the government's focus on infrastructure would be an important anchor to that private capex eventually improving as well. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Signature Global SPR, Luxury Living in Sector 71, Gurgaon Signature Global Book Now Undo Right now, it is still the government capex and we had seen a bump down or a small slowdown period for government capex post general elections last year. But we have seen that in the last three-four months, there has been a meaningful pick up in government capex. In March, we saw that both central and state government capex growing at a very high pace and that has now taken the 12-month trailing centre plus state combined capital expenditure to close to the peaks that we had seen right before the general election. We have seen this strength in government capex coming back again. As far as private capex is concerned, we were expecting that would have picked up a lot more by this time, but to the extent to which we have seen this trade tensions emerge from early this year that is going to affect the capex outlook not only in the region, but also in India, despite the fact that India has lower exposure to global goods cycle. The reality is that it still has a meaningful exposure of 12% of GDP being its goods exports to GDP. We are expecting private capex to be going through a bit of an adjustment period in the environment of global trade tensions and then, over the next calendar year, that is, in 2026, we should see a pick up in private capex because by that time, the damage out of this global trade tensions would have been behind us. Live Events Talk about the China angle here and to what extent is India benefiting from the supply chain diversification away from China because this is something that has come up time and again for many years now. Chetan Ahya: India is benefiting on account of it. Right now, during a period where tariffs on China, even after having come down, are still at a very high run rate of 30% and from the 2018 period, you also have about 11% weighted average tariff on imports from China that the US has imposed. Cumulatively, we still have a 41% tariff rate for import from China for the US and that does give some sectors an advantage over China in terms of pricing and even sort of thinking about a bit more from a medium-term perspective. The corporate sector in America is beginning to think about importing more from India. India is probably benefiting on account of that. Then, from a medium-term perspective, we have always argued that look, it is not just about taking away market share from China, but just getting rightful market share for India in the global goods exports and for that India's policies that were important and the government has been taking the right policies to boost that manufacturing sector exports. We have seen electronics manufacturing getting a leg up. We are going to see that expand into more and more products within the electronic segment apart from mobile phones and laptops. And at the same time, we think that from a medium-term perspective, this whole push towards infrastructure will really strengthen India's manufacturing exports. It is really a lot of the domestic policies that will be important from the long term apart from the short-term benefit that it may get on account of differential tariff rates between India and China. Do you think the current optimism in the Indian equity markets is aligned with your view when it comes to economic fundamentals or do you see any areas with overheating or correction risk? Chetan Ahya: Both our regional and India strategists have been very constructive on India. So, we are aligned up as a house on being bullish on India.
