Founded in 2019, Glance delivers personalized content directly to Android lock screens in seven Indian languages. Through its AI-driven platform, Glance provides a wide variety of experiences, from news and sports updates to games and shopping. By partnering with upGrad, Glance aims to empower users with career growth tools and close the skills gap that exists in the workforce.
This collaboration reflects India’s growing role as a global hub for learning and skilling, especially in industries like AI and service-based economies. By integrating upGrad’s workforce-ready content into Glance’s platform, the partnership seeks to give users easy access to professional development resources and support their professional trajectories.
