Chitrakshi Suneja Interacts With Subrata Ghosh, Founder, Redstone Learning And Spoke To Him
Idea GenerationWe are living in an age of tumultuous change. Digitization, AI and globalization are disrupting the status quo at an unprecedented pace in every industry. If one looks at what is happening with Transportation (on-demand, electric, driverless), Commerce (online, on-demand, personalized), Healthcare (AI assisted diagnosis), etc – the future is very uncertain, and yet full of opportunities for those who can adapt.
During my business exploration phase, I realized that there was a huge crisis building up for business and knowledge workers. Most professionals that I met across industry were concerned about the drastic changes in industry around them. They were worried that they would wake up one day and find themselves irrelevant. And most businesses, large and small, were worried about not having access to the right expertise to help them stay agile and ahead of the curve.
I felt that businesses and professionals needed a platform for real-time, relevant expertise – thru a combination of top-notch experts, high quality and constantly evolving learning content, and delivery formats that follow the learner. That is the only way that business and individuals can cope. That is what Redstone Learning was built for.
Special Key FeaturesRedstone Learning’s USP is relevant and real-time expertise – that is achieved through a combination of top-notch experts, high quality and constantly evolving content, with relevant delivery formats including live online and self-paced modes. This is what Redstone believes will keep its clients ahead of the business and career curve, and these are the areas that Redstone continues to enhance and enrich every day.
Differentiation FactorsWe are the only company focusing on core business skills for enterprises and individuals. We offer courses in complex high-end areas like regulatory compliance, operations and strategy, etc apart from mid-career certifications. This has helped us to acquire clients like the world’s largest research organizations, the world’s largest payments platforms and the world’s largest pharma companies, among others.
Most of the other players in this field are withered technology trainers or professional certification trainers.
Funding And Traction DetailsWe are a self-funded and profitable company. We might be looking at funding possibilities over the next year to propel our growth further. Redstone has over 200+ business skilling courses and 30 professional certifications. It trains around over 10,000 people a year.
It employs about 100 people, and in addition it has over 300 US-based experts/trainers empaneled with the company. It is a self-funded and profitable 2 year old startup. In terms of revenue, Redstone is aiming for $10M sales next year.
Market Size And OpportunityThe global market for professional skilling is $250B, with US alone accounting for 70-80%. India is an emerging opportunity.
Online learning is becoming increasingly relevant and sought after. Expert know-how coupled with technologies like AI, VR and data science is expected to revolutionize learning in the coming years.
