India’s largest software exporters, Tata Consultancy Services and Infosys, are exploring options to open up their internal e-learning courses directly to consumers said top company executives, marking a first for the IT services companies as they look to build new streams of revenue.
Currently, both companies use their skilling platforms – Infosys’ Lex and TCS’ Ion — to train over 700,000 employees, as they look to reskill their workforce.
“If you take the Wingspan-Lex story, there is a very small amount of work to be done to make it a consumer platform….We are not blind to it,” Salil Parekh, CEO of Infosys, told ET in a recent interview. “Our main focus is still the large enterprises, but we are looking at some of these things which might morph into it over time,” he said.

The company’s mobile-based skilling platform – which measures the time spent by an individual in learning a new software programme, identifies gaps and prods further learning — has been rebranded as Wingspan to sell it to its existing enterprise customers.
