Popular online learning platform Coursera has announced a new course preview experience and localised pricing to make world-class content and AI-powered tools more accessible and affordable across India. According to the company, the new launch is a major step towards its aim to help learners worldwide ace top skills to grow their careers.
Coursera’s new localised pricing in India includes professional certificates and specialisations starting at Rs 1,699 per month, which is up to 60 per cent less costly. Similarly, Coursera Plus has a monthly subscription at Rs 2,099 and an annual subscription at Rs 13,999.
“As one of our fastest-growing and most engaged learner markets, India is at the heart of our mission. The new course preview experience makes learning more engaging from day one, offering learners a richer way to explore content, while our localised pricing ensures it’s more accessible nationwide,” said said Greg Hart, CEO of Coursera.
Moreover, learners will also get free access to Community Impact Courses on urgent social needs such as mental health, refugee support, and public health. Eligible learners can also apply for financial aid.
The latest launch is part of Coursera’s global rollout across more than 100 countries. With 31 million learners, India is Coursera’s second-largest market globally and the global leader in GenAI course enrolments, surpassing 3 million to date.
According to Coursera, the new model gives learners access to the first module of nearly every course on Coursera for free. These all come with graded assignments, video content, and AI-powered features like Coursera Coach. The platform believes that this deeper, more interactive preview allows learners to explore content meaningfully before committing to a full course.
