EON Reality, a global leader in AI-driven immersive education, has partnered with the National Skills Development Corporation (NSDC) to revolutionize India’s skill development landscape. This strategic alliance aims to combine NSDC’s commitment to workforce readiness with EON Reality’s Spatial AI and Extended Reality (XR) technology, accelerating learning and improving knowledge retention for millions of Indians. The goal is to elevate India’s global competitiveness by empowering its youth and working professionals with critical 21st-century skills.
The first phase of this initiative will provide targeted academic and internship licenses to top-performing institutions and educators who are committed to integrating XR into their curricula. Unlike a broad rollout, this “pull” approach ensures that only those with a clear vision for immersive learning are granted access, fostering a fertile environment for rapid adoption and measurable outcomes.
“India is at a turning point in its skill development journey,” said Ved Mani Tiwari, CEO of NSDC. “By embracing XR and Spatial AI, we are equipping educators and learners with powerful tools to reshape how skills are acquired and applied. This partnership marks the start of a long-term, data-driven transformation that will bridge the skill gap and empower our workforce to thrive in the global economy.”
NSDC’s involvement ensures that the initiative reaches diverse learning environments, from rural ITIs (Industrial Training Institutes) to urban Skills Universities. With tools like Text2XR and AI-assisted teaching, educators can convert traditional textbooks and theory-heavy materials into interactive 3D simulations and scenario-based assessments. This approach not only provides theoretical knowledge but also real-world competencies needed for success in evolving industries.
“This isn’t just about deploying educational technology; it’s the beginning of a nationwide learning evolution,” said Dan Lejerskar, Chairman of EON Reality. “By supporting a select group of pioneers, we’re creating a ripple effect that will eventually allow one million learners across India to engage with AI-driven, immersive experiences that enhance content creation, speed up learning, and boost retention.”
This partnership will also offer structured onboarding and training workshops for educators, robust analytics and feedback loops to refine the learning experience, and a dynamic community of XR champions to share best practices and localize content. The goal is to make AI-driven, immersive learning accessible, affordable, and adaptable for one million learners nationwide.
As part of the partnership, NSDC and EON Reality plan to offer tailored workshops and certification programs designed to equip educators with the skills needed to effectively create and deploy XR content. These initiatives will empower educators to integrate immersive technologies into their curricula and enhance the quality of education they provide. Additionally, robust analytics and feedback loops will be implemented to continuously track the performance and outcomes of these educational programs, ensuring that they meet the evolving needs of learners.
To support the growth of the XR ecosystem, NSDC and EON Reality are also establishing a Community Creator Network. This network will facilitate collaboration among educators, share best practices, and provide a platform for local XR initiatives to thrive. By fostering a community of like-minded individuals and organizations, the partnership aims to accelerate the adoption and integration of XR technologies across India’s skill development landscape.
This transformative initiative signals a new era for India’s skill development landscape, characterized by innovation, inclusivity, and a strong focus on measurable impact. With EON Reality and NSDC working together, India is poised to lead the way in global skill leadership by equipping its citizens with future-ready skills.
The National Skills Development Corporation (NSDC) is the principal architect of India’s skill ecosystem, working under the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship. As a unique Public Private Partnership (PPP) enterprise, NSDC catalyzes the skilling ecosystem for private sector participation and serves as the strategic implementation and knowledge partner to the Skill India Mission, empowering India’s youth with vocational training initiatives.
NSDC supports enterprises, start-ups, and organizations that create a positive impact by offering world-class skills to the workforce. The organization provides funding support, concessional loans, and strategic partnerships to enhance private sector initiatives in skilling.
