UK edtech Pearson to grow India team by 43% over next three years
UK-based Pearson plans to boost its workforce in India by about 43 per cent to 2,000, an executive told Reuters on Friday, months after the education firm named India one of its top three priority markets globally. "We will invest significantly in India. We have got three very strong locations and we want to grow in all of these different locations," said Vishaal Gupta, president of enterprise learning and skills division and chair of India at Pearson. Pearson India operates in education and assessment markets, targeting school goers, students aspiring for colleges overseas and corporate professionals. The company will hire across various functions, including local business operations and global tech, over the next three years, Gupta said, while ruling out the launch of any new office location. It currently has offices in Noida, Bengaluru and Chennai. Pearson's shares hit a 10-year high in February after the company reported a rise in profit and said deploying AI would help deliver more growth in 2025. India's ed-tech market, which was valued at $7.5 billion in 2024, is projected to grow more than three-fold to $29 billion by 2030, according to a Grant Thornton report. In India, Pearson competes with IDP Education and Educational Testing Service in overseas education segment, and with Upgrad and Coursera in the digital-learning market. Gupta said the company will focus on government, Indian conglomerates and global capability centers, where a shortage of skilled workers poses a challenge amid growing demand for AI upskilling. Global capability centers, commonly known as GCCs, are local offices set up by large global companies in India to support their global parent in daily operations, finance, R&D and product development functions. GCCs are projected to contribute 2 per cent to India's GDP by 2030, according to ICICI Securities, up from less than 1 per cent currently.

Oracle shares soar as AI cloud demand propels revenue forecast
Oracle shares surged nearly 8% in premarket trading on Thursday after the company raised its annual revenue forecast , driven by strong demand for its AI-related cloud services. The stock has risen nearly 6% so far this year as confidence in the software sector remained strong despite geopolitical tensions , even as analysts warn that U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs could undermine Big Tech's AI investments. Earlier this year, Oracle , whose cloud offerings help companies build their AI infrastructure, announced a joint venture called Stargate to deliver large-scale computing capabilities to OpenAI. "Oracle's once-stodgy image levels up to 'cloud-native mage,' and the competitive map now looks less like a classic three-player real time strategy and more like a battle-royale with everyone dropping in, looking for compute loot", said Michael Ashley Schulman, partner at Running Point Capital Advisors. Oracle expects total revenue to be at least $67 billion for fiscal 2026, CEO Safra Catz said on a post-earnings call. The Texas-based company's cloud services quarterly revenue rose 14% to $11.70 billion. Its overall revenue of $15.90 billion beat estimates of $15.59 least nine brokerages have raised their price target post-earnings. Oracle trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 25.86, compared to rivals Microsoft at 31.34 and Amazon at 31.80, according to data compiled by LSEG. Microsoft's stock has gained 12.16%, while Amazon's has decreased by 2.8% so far this year. "ORCL has entered an entirely new wave of enterprise popularity that it has not seen since the Internet era in the late 90s," analysts at Piper Sandler added.
