Since last year, the company has been adding several new collaborations including with Microsoft and Amazon for industry certifications as well as several top global universities like Johns Hopkins, Duke University and IIT Bombay for degree and professional certificate programs.Great Learning recently announced that it has launched the ‘Executive PG Program in AI and Data Science’, from IIT-Bombay and the ‘AI Business Strategy Program’ from Johns Hopkins University.
Founded 11 years ago, Great Learning was among the early EdTech companies in India to offer professional certificate courses in rapidly developing digital domains such as Data Science and Artificial Intelligence in collaboration with top global universities. Today it offers 1200+ programs (paid and free) and has over 11 million learners across 170 countries. Great Learning pioneered the concept of Personalized Mentorship from seasoned industry experts in specially curated micro-classes to ensure superior learning outcomes for its learners. Its program completion rates are above 90%, among the best in the industry.
Talking about the company’s performance, Mohan Lakhamraju, Founder and CEO, Great Learning said, “We are happy to have delivered strong performance under tough macroeconomic conditions. Our unwavering focus on high quality education and providing strong support has been rewarded by lakhs of learners taking up our programs and giving us exceptional satisfaction ratings. We have been on a mission for over a decade to help professionals across the world acquire the new age skills required to succeed in the digital world and we continue to stay sharply focused on it.”
Great Learning is on a path to becoming the most trusted platform for professionals to learn how to use the power of AI to be more productive and advance their careers. As the adoption of GenAI across all industries and all functional roles becomes more prevalent, Great Learning will make learning GenAI more accessible, affordable and effective for professionals globally. In collaboration with the top Indian and global universities as well as tech-leaders like Microsoft and Amazon, Great Learning is making world-class education more accessible through online certificate, diploma and degree programs.
Great Learning was acquired by BYJU’S in 2021. In Oct 2023, its financial lenders took control of BYJU’s ownership in Great Learning to safeguard and protect it. They have partnered with the company’s founders and team to support the company and its future growth as an independent company.
