Udemy Study Finds Enterprises Boosting AI Fluency and Human Skills for Workforce Transformation

Udemy Research Finds Enterprises Accelerating AI Fluency and Leaning in on Human Skills to Support Workforce Transformation

New Delhi, Oct 3, 2025: Udemy, a leading AI-powered skills acceleration platform, today released its annual 2026 Global Learning & Skills Trends Report. Rooted in learning data from over 17,000 Udemy enterprise customers, this report explores the top themes and most in-demand skills shaping the future of work. The data highlights an explosive 1,526% growth in Prompt Engineering skills among Udemy learners based in India, positioning advanced AI and productivity skills as the fastest-growing upskilling category in the country. 

Vinay Pradhan, Country Manager, Udemy (1)

Udemy data also reveals a staggering 89% surge in upskilling related to Vector Databases among Udemy learners in India, signaling a clear embrace of generative AI technologies. This significant growth highlights the focus on effectively communicating with generative AI models by building scalable, high-performance data infrastructure. Microsoft data further supports this trend, showing that 59% of organizations in India are already using AI agents to automate workflows, underscoring the country’s rapid adoption of AI across industries.

“In 2026, AI fluency and adaptive skills are no longer nice-to-haves. They’re essential for every organization to stay competitive as skills evolve at a dizzying pace,” said Hugo Sarrazin, president and CEO of Udemy. “But AI fluency alone isn’t enough. Our data shows winning organizations are those investing just as much in leadership, adaptability, and human judgment. AI is handling efficiency, but humans are driving effectiveness with skills machines can’t replace.”  

India’s Skills Acceleration: AI + Integration + Adaptability

There’s a corresponding increase in Pytest (980%) and cloud certification (108%) programs, with the fastest growth in content consumption in AI productivity tools, Microsoft Playwright and Prompt Engineering. While business skills like Risk Management (90%) are seeing some growth, the dominant trend emerging is a move towards deeper specialization in role-specific technical paths. 

The increase in demand for AI skills in India goes beyond simple curiosity. Indian learners are focused on adopting new tools and building systems that make them work. The numbers reflect this trend: a sharp rise in skills content consumption like System Design Interview (145%) and FastAPI (108%) indicates a strong focus on integration, ensuring new capabilities are woven into existing cloud and API architectures. 

Simultaneously, a robust test and automation culture is emerging, with significant growth in learning frameworks such as Pytest (980%) and Microsoft Playwright (217%). This focus on upskilling in automated testing demonstrates a recognition among Indian learners that as systems become more complex and dependent on AI, quality and reliability will become the cornerstone to success. 

Even as the demand for technical skills increases, data from the report underscores the enduring value of soft skills related to communication, leadership, change management, and more. Growth in Relationship Building upskilling (90%) signals that technical professionals are recognising the importance of soft skills in an AI-driven workplace, as communication, collaboration and critical thinking are fast becoming skills that are sought after. Additionally, a 90% increase in demand to learn Risk Management indicates a proactive approach to AI adoption in India. As AI systems are integrated into critical business functions, professionals are recognizing the need to manage the associated risks, including ethical dilemmas, data privacy concerns, and security vulnerabilities.

“AI fluency will be the new standard in 2026. It isn’t enough to have a basic understanding of technical skills anymore. True fluency comes with a holistic and in-depth understanding of AI’s capabilities, emerging applications, risks, and limitations. Most roles require using AI every day and as such, professionals need proactive skills development for AI readiness so it can be used fluidly in daily use cases,” said Vinay Pradhan, Country Manager & Senior Director Sales, India, Udemy. 

Four Global Skills Acceleration Opportunities in 2026 

Udemy identified four key areas of opportunity for companies assessing skills acceleration priorities for 2026: 

  1. AI fluency must become table stakes. Professionals who develop AI fluency, defined as using AI fluidly, and at the same time, thoughtfully and critically, understand its risks, assess outputs, and anticipate impacts, are well positioned for success and driving business outcomes. 
    • For primarily business use cases and applications, the top-growing AI topic, Microsoft Copilot, increased 3,400%. For primarily technical use cases and applications, the top-growing AI topic was GitHub CoPilot, which increased 13,534%
    • AI agents and agentic AI is the top-consumed net-new AI skill on Udemy Business.
  2. Learning in the flow of work makes skills stick. By embedding learning into day-to-day workflows, enterprises can shift from just-in-case learning to just-in-time upskilling, building transferrable skills at the moment they’re most needed. Demand for Udemy’s AI Role Play signals cravings for context-specific learning in the pursuit of skills mastery. This context-specific learning drives results; according to research from ATD, 85% of talent professionals find retrieval practices effective in improving learning outcomes,
    • 3,300+ Role Plays published in Udemy Business courses within 3 months of launch, and 38+ new Role Plays are created every day. 
  3. Scaling leadership, ethics, and agility supercharges AI adoption. Effective leadership skills can empower AI skeptics with the confidence to reimagine their roles, functions, and workflows by using AI responsibly, bolstered by a culture that values permission and purpose. 
    • Foundational leadership is the 6th most consumed of all business skills on Udemy Business, while AI ethics and governance course consumption increased 98% year-over-year. 
  4. Adaptive skills are critical for long-term resilience. Hard-earned skills like critical thinking, communication, and creativity have a shelf-life beyond any tech phenomenon. Adaptive or soft skills learning grew 25% year-over-year on Udemy Business, with surges in skills like critical thinking (37% increase) and decision-making (38% increase). 

“Change is a constant in the world of work, but what’s more unpredictable are barriers, the impact of uncertainty, and whether or not we are agile enough to withstand them,” said Paul Kent, Senior Learning and Development Manager, PepsiCo. “By prioritizing business outcomes, professionals’ goals, and company-wide best practices, we’re developing the skills our teams need today and tomorrow to thrive in the AI era.”

Most Enterprises See ROI from AI Investments, Finds Bounteous Study

India,September 29 2025: Bounteous, a leading digital transformation consultancy, today released findings from its global study “The AI Whitespace: Addressing Challenges to Unlock Potential”, highlighting how enterprises are adopting artificial intelligence and where significant gaps remain in unlocking enterprise-wide transformation.

The study draws insights from over 300 global decision-makers across marketing and technology functions at enterprises with revenues above USD 500 million. It reveals that AI adoption is universal, with 93% of companies reporting expected or better ROI from their AI investments. However, while organizations are seeing measurable returns, challenges around governance, knowledge gaps, and siloed adoption continue to hold back the full potential of AI.

Key findings from the study

  • AI delivering ROI at scale: 93% of enterprises report that their AI initiatives are paying off as expected or better. Of this, 50% say returns are higher than expected. The study finds that AI is moving beyond experimentation and is already creating tangible value.
  • Generative AI adoption widespread: While adoption of platforms from Google (70%) and Microsoft (69%) is unsurprising given existing enterprise agreements, two standout findings emerged: 73% of enterprises reported using OpenAI, and 35% have developed their own internal AI platforms. AI is now deeply embedded in enterprise operations. Importantly, 95% of respondents rated AI adoption as important or very important, with 65% of executives identifying AI as the top priority for the next 12 months.
  • Marketing sees faster payoffs: 59% of marketing leaders reported higher-than-expected ROI, compared to 43% of IT leaders. Marketing teams finds AI easier to adopt and scale AI versus more complex IT-led AI deployments.
  • Executive optimism vs. reality: Executives are twice as likely as non-executives to classify their organizations as “Expert” in AI maturity. The study highlights a disconnect between leadership perception and the day-to-day realities of employees using AI.
  • Fragmented ownership: The study points out that AI responsibility is still siloed, with 46% placing ownership under the CIO/CTO and only 3% leveraging cross-functional taskforces or Centers of Excellence. 
  • Barriers to scaling AI: Legal compliance and risk, lack of general AI knowledge, and lack of trust were the top challenges cited. Respondents highlighted stronger governance, workforce enablement, and cross-functional collaboration as key measures to overcome these barriers.
  • AI priorities today: Most organizations focus on embedded AI features (33%) and enabling workforce productivity (30%) as their priorities for short-term gains. For long-term, fewer companies are investing in engineered AI solutions (15%) and evolving holistic strategies (22%), leaving untapped whitespace for broader transformation.

Martin Young, Executive Vice President, Data & AI at Bounteous, said “The biggest AI breakthroughs are yet to be unlocked. Enterprises must treat AI as a long-term investment, balancing experimentation with governance, embedding innovation into the organizational fabric, and breaking down silos between teams. Those who delay risk falling behind, while those who commit now will be best positioned to capture sustainable, enterprise-wide transformation.”

AI Adoption Priorities across different sectors 

The study analyzed AI adoption trends across seven major industry sectors – such as Financial Services, Technology, Marketing/Advertising, Telecommunications, Healthcare, Travel & Hospitality, and Retail/Consumer Dining; as well as among key leadership segments like C-suite executives and IT leaders. 

Below are the findings from four major industries—Healthcare, Financial Services, Travel & Hospitality, and Retail/Consumer & Dining

– Embedded AI Features
44% of travel and hospitality leaders are focusing on using AI tools that are already built into the software they own, followed by financial services at 39%, healthcare at 32%, and retail, consumer, and dining at 30%. 

– Enabling Teams
34% of retail, consumer, and dining leaders are using AI to make staff more efficient, followed by healthcare at 32%, travel and hospitality at 31%, and financial services at 30%. The data suggests that consumer-facing industries are focusing more on empowering their workforce with AI to improve productivity.

– Preparing for AI Evolution
25% of retail, consumer, and dining leaders focus on planning for long-term AI strategies, well ahead of healthcare at 20%, financial services at 15%, and travel and hospitality at 14%. Retail leaders are placing greater emphasis on building AI roadmaps and preparing for future adoption compared to other sectors.

– Engineering New Tools and Products
Financial services (17%) and healthcare (16%) leaders are more focused on creating custom AI solutions tailored to their needs, while travel and hospitality and retail, consumer, and dining are at 11% each.
