- The new venture leverages Medhavi Group‘s 14-year legacy to shift the paradigm from degree-first to skills-first, making formal degrees deeply industry-relevant.
- Amit Haralalka, formerly Head of Growth at Tata Digital, joins as Co-Founder & CEO to lead the venture.
NEW DELHI , Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Medhavi Group today launched MedhaviOne, a platform built on shared standards for skills and credentials across education and employment. Amit Haralalka, formerly Head of Growth at Tata Digital, joins as Co-Founder and CEO, alongside group co-founders Pravesh Dudani and Kuldip Sarma.
A growing structural gap currently exists between what people learn, what industries need, and what employers trust as demonstrated capability. The rapid evolution of AI and new business models is shortening the shelf life of skills, demanding a shift from the sequential ‘education-then-work’ model to a continuous learning architecture. This is the gap MedhaviOne aims to address.
On the platform, institutions map programmes to live industry demand, enterprises participate directly in designing and validating capability, and individuals earn credentials that carry recognised value in the market. The architecture aligns with the National Education Policy 2020 and the National Credit Framework, and supports India’s larger ambition of becoming a Viksit Bharat by 2047.
“India’s demographic dividend will not be realised simply because we have one of the world’s largest young populations; it will be realised when young people can convert learning into upward mobility. That is what we have spent fourteen years learning how to do, and MedhaviOne now takes it to a larger scale. For a venture of this scale, we needed someone who understands both technology and human potential. Amit and I have known each other for years, and I have always admired his ability to build and scale complex businesses from the ground up,” said Pravesh Dudani, Founder of Medhavi Group, and Founder and Chancellor of Medhavi Skills University.
