SAN FRANCISCO, June 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Udemy, a leading destination for learning and teaching online, today announced Udemy Business’ growth in the Asia-Pacific region. Udemy Business has expanded its global footprint with a number of enterprise customers across regions, and deployed 8,000 international courses in 13 local languages. Many courses are taught by real-world experts in their native language, removing the need for dubbing or subtitles, and as a result, localizing and enhancing the experience for both learners and instructors.
The first quarter of 2022 marked Udemy Business’ first full quarter of selling in South Korea through partner Woongjin ThinkBig, which resulted in almost $500K in ARR. Udemy’s expansion in the Asia-Pacific region was also marked by the first-ever Udemy Business deals closed in the People’s Republic of China through exclusive partner, Sanjieke. Exclusive partnerships in the region also include Benesse in Japan, who has been a partner of Udemy since 2015.
Udemy Business is working with companies across industries in the Asia-Pacific region, including Commonwealth Bank of Australia; LG Uplus Corp and NCSOFT in Korea; Western Union Services India Private Limited and Hyundai Mobis in India; Kereta Api Indonesia; The Ricoh Company, Ltd and Panasonic Connect in Japan, and the National Library Board of Singapore, among many others.
