Subramanyam Reddy, CEO and Founder, KnowledgeHut upGrad, said, “Today, the employment ecosystem is undergoing massive disruption and becoming more competitive.” Even the ongoing tech turmoil and the ongoing recession are expected to change the course of jobs in the future. However, this does not mean that there is a shortage of opportunities in the workforce. Besides, working professionals or job seekers who are highly skilled in their respective domains are in high demand. To enable professionals to be market-ready, integrated upskilling is the need of the hour. Our aim behind this initiative is to create more awareness about tech skilling courses and provide users with a hands-on experience of evolved learning platforms.”
According to research conducted by Amazon Web Services, India will require 9X more digital specialists by 2025. At the recent G20 Summit, digital upskilling and reskilling were also recognized as worldwide issues. Taking the demand for future skills into account, the Union Budget 2023–24 announced the establishment of AI excellence centers as well as unified skilling platforms. As the Indian economy expands and the number of digital services and possibilities increases, digital literacy is becoming an increasingly important skill set, particularly for gaining access to new job prospects.
