What are some of the trends you see globally in upskilling and reskilling, and how is the Indian market different?
The past three years have been dominated by technology upskilling, particularly focused on generative AI (GenAI). We enroll eight people every minute in a GenAI course on our platform. The demand has been unprecedented. Over the past 12 months, however, we've noticed a shift in how GenAI is being consumed.

The demand for GenAI technology skills here is enormous.
