In a move reflecting its growing focus on enterprise learning and workforce transformation, upGrad has announced a leadership change at its corporate learning arm.
The appointment marks a leadership transition at the company’s enterprise-focused business, which supports corporate learning and workforce transformation initiatives.
Aggarwal announced the development in a public statement, saying she was “incredibly honoured and excited” to begin a new chapter as CEO of upGrad Enterprise. She also thanked Ronnie Screwvala, founder and chairman of upGrad, for his “trust and opportunity”.
The leadership change comes as upGrad continues to scale its enterprise offerings, positioning itself to meet rising corporate demand for skilling and reskilling across India and global markets.
Aggarwal brings more than a decade of experience across consulting, strategy, and education technology. Most recently, she served as head of Coursera for Business in India, where she worked closely with corporate leaders and CXOs on digital skilling and talent development programmes. Earlier, she spent over 6 years at Bain & Company as a senior manager, working across technology, digital, and consumer sectors with a focus on growth strategy and execution.
In her statement, Aggarwal said the new role aligns closely with her professional journey, from advising organisations on transformation to scaling enterprise learning solutions in India. She added that her belief has strengthened over time that “when learning is tightly aligned to business priorities, it becomes a superpower”.
upGrad Enterprise operates in a competitive corporate learning market, driven by rapid technological change, automation, and increasing adoption of artificial intelligence. Aggarwal said she looks forward to partnering with enterprises across India, the Middle East, and other regions to build “future-ready teams in a rapidly evolving market”.
She also described Screwvala as “a visionary entrepreneur” with “unwavering conviction in the power of education”, highlighting his long-term commitment to education-led career building.
Aggarwal’s appointment comes at a time when organisations are treating learning as a strategic driver of productivity and competitiveness, underlining upGrad’s intent to deepen its presence in enterprise skilling and workforce transformation.
