Jaideep Kewalramani ,CEO,Skills Alpha said, “The whole premise of Skills Alpha is how we start by infusing aspiration and if one has aspiration how can that be aligned with the organisation’s growth path and then how do they acquire these skills to be successful. Skill Alpha uses all new technologies like cognitive, AI, gamification, bots and what you have. LMS just becomes one element of the platform.”

“We are democratising the whole process of employees acquiring skills, we want to turn the learning happening in organization upside down,” he added.

It is incubated at 5F world, founded by Natarajan – a meta startup platform which invests in digitally enabled communities, skills focused startups and digital technology.

“5F World will try and leverage on its corporate and investor connect to startups that they will invest in. We want to get deeply involved with companies. None of the funds enable their expertise and networking to help the startups. We want to fill that void. We want to leverage our access to corporates to allow startups.”, Mr. Natarajan said.

It plans to partner with content providers, content curators, coaches, mentors, market evangelists, and content producers for delivering the content. It targets companies having an employee count of 2000+. быстрый займ на карту сбербанкав кармане займ личный кабинетзайм с текущими просрочками
