We’re on a mission to transform how everyone learns and how to help companies apply that knowledge to yield greater success.

WHY WE BUILT AHURA

01 For businesses

The skillsets required to remain competitive are changing faster this decade. Sadly, current online solutions don’t have the responsiveness to drive necessary engagement and live instructors are too expensive to scale across organizations

02 For employees

AI and advanced innovations are rapidly changing the nature of work across roles and industries. These workers will need to reinvent their skillsets to protect their livelihood

03 For society

Upkilling people to their maximize their potential transcends corporate aspirations. It is key to driving adoption of new technology, transforming how we solve society’s toughest challenges across energy, health, climate and more

People are at the center of our mission.
Meet the team.
