The Indian Edtech sector is experiencing a momentous transformation driven by rising demand for upskilling and the increasing implementation of AI (artificial intelligence). An increasing number of learners, from experienced to students, want to explore this cutting-edge technology.

BrightCHAMPS, an edtech firm providing educational courses for K-12 students, found that 58% of students worldwide have already integrated AI into their studies. In addition, 36% use this technology for homework.

Ravi Bhushan, founder and CEO of BrightCHAMPS stated that AI is among the most-demanded courses in the market today.

He said, “We exclusively launched a Gen AI course for kids. In the US, every fourth student is inquiring and enroling in AI courses. India is not very far behind compared to the US. In fact, Indian parents are more curious than US parents”.

Just launched eight months ago, the Gen AI course has become one of BrightCHAMPS’ top three best-selling courses out of its seven flagship programs.

Edtech unicorn Emeritus now offers over 20 ML (machine learning) and AI courses, with AI certificates dominating its top-selling programs.

Bhushan Heda, chief operating officer of Emeritus said, “We saw a surge of almost three times in enrolments for AI courses in 2024 compared to 2023, with 75% of our enrolments coming from professionals with more than 10 years of experience, primarily in IT, engineering, and consulting”.

According to the 2025 Global Workplace Skills Study, 96% of professionals desire AI readiness.

Imarticus Learning, an edtech provider of professional courses, offers 20% of its programs in emerging technologies, including AI. Its Gen AI course, specifically for executives and learners interested in AI applications, is among the top five sellers, as stated by founder Nikhil Barshikar.
