In India, a whopping 9.6 million users will be paying for online courses by 2021. And that’s not all. The online education market itself is expected to witness a huge surge, growing 8x since 2016 to reach the $1.96 billion mark in the next two years.
While currently, the data – courtesy of a joint report by KPMG and Google – indicates that “reskilling and online certification courses†commands the major chunk of this market, the tables, however, are set to turn in the near future.
