Enterprises Drive Agentic AI, Cloud and Cybersecurity Training

Economic Times CIO reports on edForce's FY2025-26 enterprise learning data, showing Agentic AI training grew 100% year-on-year to 57,536 learners. The same dataset reports cloud training up 29% to 41,876 learners, DevOps up 26% to 31,211 learners, and cybersecurity up 39% to 25,448 learners. Certification-linked learning grew 36% to 38,562 certifications, while leadership training rose 46% to 11,965 learners. Ravi Kaklasaria, Co-Founder & CEO of edForce, is quoted: "Enterprise learning is becoming increasingly outcome-driven. The strong growth in Agentic AI, Certifications, Cybersecurity, Cloud Computing, and Leadership training shows that organisations are focusing on building capabilities that directly support AI adoption and business transformation." These figures are edForce's own internal data as reported by Economic Times CIO and have not been independently audited or corroborated by a third-party source.

Companies transitioning from AI pilots to production commonly expand training across cloud infrastructure, security, and operational tooling such as DevOps and MLOps - to deploy models into scalable, monitored environments and handle threat models introduced by broader AI use. Certification-led learning rising in parallel is consistent with organizations seeking auditable skill validation. A pronounced uptake in Agentic AI courses alongside cloud and cybersecurity suggests enterprises are preparing for more autonomous, integrated AI workflows rather than isolated experiments.

• •Enrollment trends by category over the next two fiscal quarters to confirm whether this spike sustains beyond FY2025-26.
• •Certification pass rates and employer uptake as indicators of hiring and promotion impacts.
• •Job postings for combined skillsets (Agentic AI plus cloud or security) to see if employer demand matches training supply.
• •Independent market data from Gartner, IDC, or LinkedIn corroborating the training-demand direction if not exact figures.
