Hero Group enters into education technology business with Hero Vired

The Hero Group has launched a new EdTech company, Hero Vired with an aim to provide end-to-end learning ecosystem for professionals and higher education aspirants. The programs will be in collaboration with some of the world’s leading universities including Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The programme will offer a mix of programs; some aimed at working professionals and others for young professionals and ranges from Rs 2.5 lakh to Rs 5 lakh.

Akshay Munjal, Founder and CEO, Hero Vired said, “India currently faces a unique ‘employability paradox’ where there is a shortage of highly skilled professionals, yet graduates find it difficult to secure suitable jobs due to lack of skill-sets that are imperative for Industry 4.1.

The government’s Digital India initiative under the National Education Policy underlines the need for strengthening the online learning infrastructure that ensures equitable access to the highest-quality education for all learners and learning flexibility through the academic banking of credits. Hero Vired is born from our experience as the Hero Group, the skills gaps that we see in the industry and our mission is to ensure that the young workforce can be mentored for overall professional development aimed at their future growth.”

The programs are designed to provide a premium learning experience through highly engaged one-on-one interactive sessions with all learners for live online classes, doubt clarification and more personalized mentorship sessions. The Hero Vired Learning Experience platform has been built to offer features that make learning impactful via gamification, interactive support, peer to peer communication, high-quality content and high-engagement-driven online instructor-led classes.
