Demand for cloud, data and other IT courses rank high in India

March 23, 2023

Udemy, a leading destination for learning and teaching online, has the world’s largest catalogue of more than 200,000 online courses and has recently released Udemy’s 2023 Workplace Learning Trends report highlighting the most in-demand business, technical and personal skills leveraged by learners on Udemy’s enterprise learning solution, Udemy Business. 

Data focused on the top skills in India highlighted that cloud computing skills remain a primary area of focus, with 27% growth of public cloud spending expected in India in 2023. And with companies ready to invest a good chunk of investment, public cloud spending is expected to exceed 45 percent of all enterprise IT spending by 2026 which will overtake spending on traditional IT in 2025.

Vinay Pradhan, Country Manager, India and South Asia, Udemy says, “Leaders play an essential role in helping their employees build the skills they need while maintaining a competitive edge in the job market. To improve overall security, reliability and maintain business agility, companies must invest their time, money and effort in self-learning platforms and research labs for employees to experiment, and boost business performance through training in technical skills. 

Blending business, personal and technology skills are the key to success in today’s digital enterprises. Business leaders are also recognising the importance of the cloud and related technologies and prioritising training in cloud platforms and a handful of other programming languages. These trends explain why the demand for cloud computing skills is catching up which will help foster collaboration and teamwork, reduce conflict, and enable productivity.”

Skills and solutions for data analysis and security also ranked high among the surging technical skills with enrollments for databricks increasing by 2161%, system design interview by 1012%, and 5G by 643%.
