Speaking about the company, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Courseplay, Arjun Gupta, said, “Courseplay is changing the way employers look at enabling their teams for professional and personal development. Skill development alone is not going to cut it in this day and age, employers need to look at the growth and experience of their employees in the company.”

Bansal further said, “Courseplay provides the most cost effective and scalable online learning technology solution which not only aims to provide a holistic learning experience at your convenience, but also tracks the performance of each employee along with needed recommendation and area of improvement, thus ensuring a high success rate of the training programmes. This online training programme has been the need of an hour especially with the world going digital due to COVID.
