At a time when demand for job-ready skills is rising across non-English-speaking audiences, learning platform Entri has announced a strategic partnership with global AI-powered skills platform Udemy to widen access to upskilling opportunities across India.
Entri, which focuses on India’s 400 million vernacular learners, said the collaboration will combine Udemy’s expert-led course library with Entri’s job training programmes delivered in multiple Indian languages. The goal is to improve employability and help learners achieve long-term career growth.
As part of the partnership, Udemy’s content engine will be integrated into Entri’s platform. This will enable learners to access technical and soft skills training in regional languages and dialects, making career-focused education more inclusive for non-English-first users.
Under the collaboration, Entri will bring its local market knowledge and vernacular job training capabilities in languages such as Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam. Udemy will contribute its global learning platform and content ecosystem to scale professional education across the country.
“This strategic partnership is built around a shared belief that India’s next wave of learners seeking job-relevant skills and upskilling opportunities will come from non-English-first audiences,” said Mohammed Hisamuddin, founder and chief executive officer of Entri. “Entri brings deep local execution and vernacular reach at scale, while Udemy brings global platform strength, content depth, and massive learner demand.”
Udemy currently serves more than 17 million learners and 9,500 instructors in India through its global platform, offering courses across a wide range of professional and technical domains.
The partnership comes as upskilling needs increase, especially in artificial intelligence. Research indicates that only about 30% of India-based professionals feel confident in their AI skills, while 61% say they lack clear guidance from employers on using AI in daily work.
“We are committed to empowering learners with career-building skills through culturally relevant experiences that drive meaningful outcomes,” said Ramji Sundararajan, president of consumer at Udemy. “By offering our platform in regional Indian languages, we can better serve Udemy’s growing customer base and expand the addressable learner base in India.”
Both companies said the collaboration will focus on improving employability by combining global content, regional language delivery, and job-oriented training aligned with India’s evolving skills landscape.
