Hero Vired, a learntech start-up under the Hero Group, today unveiled its expanded focus on delivering tailored educational programmes across three key sectors: Business to Business (B2B), Business to Institution (B2I), and Business to Government (B2G). This strategic move is designed to provide customised training solutions that cater to a broad range of domains, functions and skill sets aimed at enhancing organisational capabilities and facilitating the recruitment and development of talent. The initiative is set to revolutionise learning & development systems and processes to address India's growing need for a skilled workforce.
The newly launched offerings include personalised and hybrid learning experiences, conducted by leading industry experts. The programmes leverage a state-of-the-art Learning Management System (LMS) offering flexible subscriptions, contemporary Learning and Development (L&D) frameworks, and project-based learning geared towards achieving tangible outcomes at the workplace. For educational institutes, Hero Vired has planned employability bootcamps complete with placement support, alongside residential training programmes hosted at the BML Munjal University campus. Additionally, for large corporations and startups, the initiative will encompass skill enhancement and talent development workshops. In the public sector, the company aims to equip PSUs and government agencies with cutting-edge skills essential for workforce advancement.
Akshay Munjal, Founder and CEO of Hero Vired, stated, “In today’s rapidly changing employment landscape, which demands speed and agility, we are intensifying our engagement in the B2B sector. Our focus will be on bridging skill gaps, forging deeper connections with organizations, and diversifying our revenue streams. With strategic positioning to bolster the B2B segment, we aim for over 100 partnerships and to facilitate over 100,000 man-hours of upskilling. Our goal is to be the preferred training partner for both corporations and educational institutions, fully equipping our learners with the essential skills and knowledge for the future of work in Industry 4.0.”
The demand for specialised training and upskilling programmes is becoming increasingly apparent across various sectors, particularly as large corporations emphasise engineering and technical training, while tech startups focus on advanced technological skills. Notably, with the recognised shortage of Artificial Intelligence (AI) talent and high attrition rates, more companies are opting to invest in training their current employees rather than hiring new ones.
Hero Vired has forged Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with Training and Placement Officers (TPOs) in academic institutions and registering as an ed-tech service provider with various government entities.
