From Rs 9 workshops to 5 Million learners skilled for six-figure jobs: Inside Be10x’s growth playbook

Be10x, an AI upskilling startup founded in 2023 by IIT Kharagpur alumni Aditya Goenka and Aditya Kachave, has trained more than 5 million learners through over 800 live workshops, per YourStory. The company maintains an average learner rating of 4.9 out of 5 and says its long-term target is to educate 100 million individuals in AI.

The startup first attracted users through workshops priced at just Rs 9, then built out a broader platform that now includes AI certification programs, workflow playbooks, prompt libraries, presentation templates, Excel automation resources, LinkedIn optimization kits, resume toolkits, and career roadmaps, according to YourStory. Be10x has also partnered with AI platforms including Google Gemini, Wispr Flow, Make.com, Chronicle HQ, DataSquirrel, Fireflies, and SuperGrow to give learners hands-on experience with enterprise-grade tools.

Be10x's model focuses on practical workplace implementation rather than conceptual instruction. "The biggest gap today isn't access to AI tools; it's knowing how to use them effectively inside everyday work. That's the problem we're solving through practical implementation rather than theory," co-founder Kachave told YourStory. Goenka framed the company's success metric in outcome terms: "We measure success by outcomes along with certification and course completion. When professionals use AI to become more productive, land better package jobs, get promotions, that's when we actually live up to our company philosophy."

The company cites a range of learner salary outcomes, including a reported 170% salary hike after one learner joined Adobe's AI Model Team, an 80% hike tied to a leadership role at ₹44 LPA, and a 55% hike from switching to an MNC within six months, per YourStory. These figures are self-reported by the company and are not independently verified. The source article notes a disclaimer that views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of YourStory.

Looking ahead, Be10x plans to expand its AI Career Accelerator program with more industry-specific AI workflows, productivity tools, and structured certifications, according to YourStory. The company is also building out content around AI-powered research, business analysis, automation, and prompt engineering. No funding figures or investors were disclosed in the source material.
