Millions of people are looking to learn new skills online yet current platforms like Udemy lack the community and topic-based interaction necessary to build truly immersive educational experiences.
Ministry of Testing is another example that does this. Started as a community, did irl conferences and events, a whole network of community run meetups, online AMAs, community articles, podcasts, Masterclasses, started building a custom online platform 5 years ago...and now (due to covid) now focusing all online.
Great article! Totally agree — 2025 is the year AI video finally went mainstream in India.
At AIM Kreations (Hyderabad), we just delivered a 90-sec product explainer for a fintech unicorn using a custom AI avatar and script-to-video workflow. Zero shoot days, yet it became their highest-converting YouTube video of the year.
Hybrid (human director + AI tools) is the sweet spot right now. Pure AI still feels robotic to most Indian brands, but guided properly, the output is broadcast-ready in days.
This is such an insightful take on the evolution of online learning. I agree that the unbundling of Udemy highlights how learners increasingly value community, interactivity, and niche expertise over broad, impersonal course catalogs. It’s fascinating to see how smaller, focused platforms are innovating with engagement and quality, and it makes me wonder what the next stage of EdTech will look like. Curious to hear others’ experiences—have you found more value in specialized platforms compared to traditional marketplaces like Udemy
Great insights on the unbundling of Udemy. The future of online learning lies in niche, community-driven platforms—especially those integrating <a href="https://brollyai.com/">Generative Ai Training in Hyderabad</a> to personalize learning and boost collaboration. Broad platforms offer scale, but deep engagement happens in smaller, focused learning communities.
I think Openmined.org is a great example of community-first education. They are an open source community with clear leadership and direction. They get a lot of new community members from their PPML course on Udacity which was sponsored by FB.
But the course is just the beginning of the journey. It's a gateway drug to becoming a passionate proactive community member while learning and advancing state of the art privacy preserving ML ... worth looking into! I'm also curious about OSS startups with thriving communities like Rasa coversational AI!
