Upskilling, reskilling to help Indian workforce win in tomorrow's market: Coursera CEO Greg Hart
Academy Empower your mind, elevate your skills India could house the largest user base for Coursera by 2026, the $1.3 billion online learning platform's president and chief executive Greg Hart told ET on 30 million registered learners and a 20% annual growth rate, India currently accounts for the second largest number of users on Coursera, after the US. In terms of the user base for generative artificial intelligence, India is already the largest, said Hart, who is on his first visit to India after being appointed the company's CEO in February this Hart said, if India has to keep its edge as the world's talent hub and seize the economic benefits of the unfolding AI revolution, it must scale up its skilling efforts, considering a major gap persists in the country's readiness on Gen AI."Different stats show the Indian workforce isn't necessarily delivering all the skills that employers need here. This points to the need for upskilling and reskilling and giving people the right tools to be able to be successful in not just today's economy, but tomorrow's economy, as well as Gen AI," Hart said during an which has a valuation of about $1.3 billion was founded in 2012 by Stanford professors Andrew Ng and Daphne Koller. Early investors included Kleiner Perkins, NEA (New Enterprise Associates), GSV Ventures and the Seek global AI Maturity Index places India at 46th, lagging behind most of Europe, New Zealand, Israel, Japan and Malaysia. The index lends data from Coursera alongside those from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, World Bank and World Economic Forum. Hart added that however to India's advantage, it already has a large population of IT and engineering skills. "That, to me, is a fantastic platform to then just add AI as the next skill," he is $ 4.1 trillion economy right now and its GDP number makes it the fourth largest in the world. There are forecasts that India can add $1.5 trillion to the economy and so more than a third to that $4.1 trillion will come through Gen AI by 2030, he said. "That's not far away to come true. So obviously, people need to be upskilled and need to learn AI and so on," he counts Reliance Industries Axis Bank , Larsen & Toubro, Flipkart and Infosys as major clients in India currently, Hart said. Making up 30% of Coursera's business, the enterprise segment, however, has seen customers facing challenges due to the ongoing global macro-economic uncertainty."The uncertainty creates challenges for them (corporates) in figuring out what to do."Global enrolment rates into Gen AI courses have risen faster for women, as compared to men, despite major gender disparity, Hart pointed out. For all courses, Coursera's enrolment numbers are broadly equally divided between the sexes, he said."Historically, there has been a gender disparity in STEM professions and technology, and that can sometimes be a self-perpetuating thing. Online learning is a fantastic leveller of that playing field," Hart 20% of Coursera's R&D base is in India, with a large centre that handles all the work for its enterprise and degrees businesses. Courses in engineering, cybersecurity, big data and analytics continue to be favourites among Indian users, alongside business and finance, Coursera data shows."There is a huge interest, both from enterprise and from individual learners, in learning more about Gen AI. That's by far the largest single trend that continues to accelerate," he National Credit Framework under the 2020 National Education Policy is driving user enrolments on the platform. Coursera has also rolled out skill development programmes in partnership with Odisha and Kerala, the latter of which plans to train up to 60,000 residents this year through 40 virtual academies under the Kerala Knowledge Economy Mission.
