B2I Platforms Driving India’s Skilling Revolution
Share
As India navigates the rapidly evolving world of work, a new wave of Business-to-Individual (B2I) learning platforms is reshaping the country’s skilling ecosystem. These platforms are stepping in to bridge the widening gap between the demands of the job market and the preparedness of the workforce — a gap traditional education systems have struggled to close.
The urgency for upskilling is mounting. According to the World Economic Forum, 83 million jobs are expected to be displaced globally by automation by next year, while 70 million new roles will emerge in their place. The message is clear — skilling can no longer wait, and professionals can’t rely solely on conventional education to remain employable.
Recent insights show that 85% of Indian professionals plan to actively invest in upskilling during FY25. B2I platforms are riding this wave of demand with their flexible, role-specific training that adapts to industry shifts in real time. These platforms excel at breaking down complex skills into structured, bite-sized modules focused on practical outcomes, not just theory.
From full-stack development and cybersecurity to cloud computing and AI, B2I platforms are offering courses that simulate real-world challenges. Learners are drawn by features like mentorship, real-time progress tracking, and often direct access to job opportunities — making them a compelling alternative to traditional learning routes.
Speaking on the growing adoption of such platforms, Mr. Manish Agarwal, Senior Director of PrepInsta, said: “B2I learning platforms are not just supplementing traditional education; they are redefining it. By aligning training with real industry requirements and delivering it in a flexible, outcome-driven manner, they are ensuring that both professionals and employers are future-ready.”
With their agility, industry alignment, and learner-centric approach, B2I platforms are positioning themselves at the heart of India’s skilling revolution, equipping both individuals and employers for the future of work.
