Tata Digital Launches Tata NeuSkills, a Reskilling Vertical to Bridge the Upskilling Gap in Ed-Tech Market

• ByStartupStory     |    April 15, 2023

Tata Digital has launched Tata NeuSkills, a reskilling vertical, to help address the ed-tech market’s upskilling gap. With the pandemic increasing the demand for digital skills, Tata NeuSkills plans to launch two boot camp-based courses in data analytics and frontend development later this month, with additional courses to follow.

Tata NeuSkills’ new courses are said to be six months long and will require at least 15 hours per week from the learner. Before being evaluated, a learner must complete a capstone project in order to become certified.

Tata NeuSkills is offering the courses for a ‘introductory price’ of INR 60,000, excluding tax, though the website states that the entire course costs INR 1 Lakh + GST.

Learners who complete the courses with at least 80% attendance and at least 80% marks on MCQs and HOCs will be considered for placement at one of Tata Group’s or partner companies, such as BigBasket e-grocery, 1mg, and Cult.fit, TCS, Croma, Air Asia, Westside, Tata Cliq, and others. Tata NeuSkills also claims that after being placed, learners can earn a 40% raise or more based on their performance.

Learners will also have the opportunity to intern at these companies for up to three months during the course, allowing them to apply their newly acquired skills in a professional setting.

 

Tata NeuSkills is the second edtech play in the Tata Group, following the digital classroom solution Tata ClassEdge. The launch of Tata NeuSkills demonstrates the Tata Group’s commitment to closing the edtech upskilling gap.

Tata NeuSkills is entering a market dominated by a few incumbents, including upGrad, Great Learning, and Scalar in India, among others, particularly in data analytics and frontend development. However, Tata NeuSkills distinguishes itself by providing learners with placement opportunities at Tata Group companies and partner companies, which many of its competitors do not provide.

Tata Digital’s introduction of Tata NeuSkills underscores the Tata Group’s dedication to bridging the upskilling gap in the edtech market. What sets Tata NeuSkills apart from its competitors in the crowded upskilling startup space is its unique offering of placement opportunities at Tata Group companies and partner firms for learners. As the demand for digital skills continues to surge, Tata NeuSkills and other edtech startups are well-positioned to play a pivotal role in shaping the post-pandemic landscape.
