AI Upskilling Platform Weskill Secures Funding for Expansion

Weskill, an AI Based Upskilling Platform from Bengaluru has successfully closed pre-seed round at Valuation of Rs. 40 Crore from HNIs and Strategic Investors to fuel Growth. The funding is set to accelerate the company’s expansion and enhance its cutting-edge AI-powered learning ecosystem. 

Founded in November 2023 by Prashant Prakash Dubey (CEO), Weskill is on a mission to address the widening skill gap between traditional college education and the ever-evolving demands of the industry. The lack of alignment between academic curriculum and real-world job requirements has significantly impacted the employability rate of undergraduate students. Weskill aims to resolve this challenge by leveraging artificial intelligence to offer career counseling and personalized training modules, making upskilling more effective, accessible, and industry-relevant. 

To ensure high-quality experiential learning, Weskill has established partnerships with top-tier universities, including EICT, IIT Guwahati, and several multinational corporations (MNCs). These collaborations enable the platform to deliver industry-relevant training to undergraduate students and early-stage professionals, equipping them with the skills required to excel in corporate environments. In addition to its upskilling programs, Weskill has developed an AI-based career counseling and mock interview platform, which has already empowered over 170,000 students in enhancing their career trajectories. By offering tailored learning pathways, Weskill ensures that students and professionals gain the necessary competencies to thrive in today’s competitive job market. 

Looking ahead, Weskill has ambitious growth plans. Over the next two years, the company aims to expand its impact by upskilling and guiding over 600,000 students across India. With a strong focus on AI integration, innovative learning methodologies, and strategic industry collaborations, Weskill is poised to become a leading force in the upskilling and career development sector. As the demand for AI-powered learning solutions continues to rise, Weskill remains committed to transforming the educational landscape, empowering students, and shaping the future workforce with in-demand skills.
