Transforming the way India learns and grows, Hero Vired is a pioneering LearnTech company backed by the esteemed Hero Group. Established in 2021, the company aims to empower India’s next-generation workforce with industry-relevant skills and knowledge under the dynamic leadership of Akshay Munjal and Prakhar Kasar. Its sole vision is to be India’s most trusted and impactful career accelerator through learning.
Hero Vired offers comprehensive programmes in technology, data science, finance, management, and future skills, crafted in partnership with renowned global institutions such as Harvard, INSEAD, and the University of Chicago. Its immersive, outcome-oriented programmes equip learners with real-world industry expertise. With a commitment to personalised learning, career services, and practice-based learning, the company delivers a premium and impactful learning experience.
The Key Inspiration
Akshay Munjal’s journey with Hero Vired was driven by a strong personal conviction to make a meaningful impact on India’s education landscape. Witnessing the Hero Group’s legacy of building trusted businesses, he saw an opportunity to extend that ethos into LearnTech.
The vision of personalisation, outcomes-focused learning, aligned perfectly with his belief that education must empower individuals to unlock their potential. This mission-driven purpose, coupled with the chance to work with passionate innovators and global partners, motivated him to join and lead this journey.
Overcoming the Hurdles Along the Way
The biggest challenge Hero Vired faces is building trust in a competitive EdTech space. To overcome this, the company stays rooted in its values, prioritising credibility over shortcuts. This is achieved through partnerships with global academic leaders, hiring top faculty, and building a rigorous curriculum. Additionally, tools like SOP-based admissions, Skill Tests and a detailed screening process, helps learners assess their job readiness – adding tangible value. Word-of-mouth, learner success stories, and media recognition have organically built the company’s trust.
What Makes Hero Vired Stand Out?
The company’s biggest differentiator is its unwavering focus on impact over scale. Every aspect of its offering is designed to drive learners’ success, including personalised learning journeys, one-on-one mentorship, industry-aligned curricula, real-world capstone projects, and comprehensive career support.
Hero Vired’s branding approach is rooted in authenticity and value. Learners’ success stories are its strongest advocate, and content marketing is also driven by utility, adding value to the audience.
Hero Vired prioritises active engagement through interactive webinars and demo classes to open Q&A sessions, building real connections with the community.
Emerging Technologies in the Industry
The education sector is evolving rapidly with technology at its core, driven by innovative technologies. Some of the key advancements include
- AI-powered adaptive learning and dynamic assessments that tailor content to each learner’s pace and progress.
- Gamification, which makes learning more interactive, motivating, and sticky through real-time feedback and challenges.
- AI-driven career support, such as smart CV building and role-fit analysis, connects learners to job opportunities based on their skills.
Building a Culture of Collaboration and Purpose
Hero Vired cultivates a culture that values ownership, empathy, and agility. With a passionate and purpose-driven team of 220+, collaboration and open dialogue are encouraged, ensuring every voice is heard.
Regular town halls, peer appreciation initiatives, learning and development sessions, and celebration of wins foster a friendly work culture. The company prioritises work-life balance and mental wellness, recognising their importance in driving employee well-being.
Remarkable Achievements and Milestones
Within four years of its incorporation, Hero Vired has achieved significant milestones. It has –
- Partnered with top global institutions like Harvard, INSEAD, Microsoft, and even industry-partners like Snapchat to make world-class learning accessible.
- Helped over 6,000 learners gain relevant skills and secure jobs in top companies
