New Delhi: Physics Wallah (PW), India’s leading ed-tech platform, is delighted to announce a significant achievement for its skilling vertical, PW Skills. PW Skills has emerged as the largest online platform for imparting tech skills to an impressive 150,000 learners. The platform offers courses in Hindi, English, and Hinglish, catering to a diverse range of students. Out of the total learners, 50,000 have enrolled in paid batches, while the remaining have availed themselves of the free courses offered. Noteworthy is the fact that 30,000 learners come from the Hindi heartland, which includes regions like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, and other states. Achieving this remarkable milestone within a mere five-month period is a testament to the strength of PW’s existing community and digital distribution, which have played a crucial role in driving this growth.
PW Skills operates with a clear mission to bridge the gap between the demand and supply of professionals equipped with cutting-edge tech skills. Currently, the platform offers hybrid courses in data science, Java, C++, full-stack web development, and other tech-related subjects, all at affordable prices starting from INR 3,500. Looking ahead, PW Skills aims to expand its offerings by introducing joint certification courses in collaboration with renowned colleges, diploma programs, and technology courses in vernacular languages. The training programs cater to learners of all levels, from beginners to advanced, ensuring accessibility and ease of comprehension. A recent collaboration between PW Skills and NSDC has made skilling, reskilling, and upskilling more affordable for learners.
Prateek Maheshwari, Co-Founder of PW, expressed, “Through PW Skills, our objective is to meet the growing demand for skilled professionals. We aim to address the issues of inaccessibility and high pricing often associated with tech and upskilling courses. These courses frequently lack practical training and focus excessively on jargon, neglecting the fundamentals. Additionally, there is a significant shortage of training opportunities available in vernacular languages. PW Skills is committed to bridging these gaps by investing INR 120 crores in the next 2-3 years to enhance our offerings, ensuring quality content taught by industry professionals, starting from the basics, and all at highly competitive prices.”
Sudhanshu Kumar, CEO of PW Skills, highlighted the unique nature of the platform, stating, “PW Skills is designed to cater to learners from diverse educational and economic backgrounds who are seeking tech training and other upskilling courses. Recognizing the growing need for upskilling, we provide training to learners and professionals, equipping them with the necessary skills for the future of work. Our approach involves leveraging cutting-edge technology, collaborating with renowned industry experts, and utilizing top-notch course material. In the future, we plan to delve into the blockchain, cybersecurity, and AR/VR-focused courses to strengthen India’s talent pipeline. Our ultimate goal is to prepare one million skilled tech professionals within the next three years.”
By achieving such a significant milestone and continually striving to provide quality education and training, Physics Wallah’s PW Skills has established itself as a pioneering force in the field of online tech education in India. The platform’s commitment to accessibility, practical training, and affordability ensures that learners from all backgrounds can acquire the skills they need to thrive in the rapidly evolving technological landscape.
