Hello There!
I'm RK Prasad, a researcher, entrepreneur, and lifelong student of how people learn at work. I've spent over 33 years at the intersection of corporate training, instructional design, and technology. In 2000, I started CommLab India from a single desk. Today, it's a 150-strong team ranked the #1 Rapid eLearning Provider globally, serving 300+ organizations across 37 countries.
I believe AI is about to transform workplace learning the same way eLearning did in the early 2000s. And this time, the stakes are much higher.
Through WorkLearning.AI, my research initiative in partnership with Lancaster University, UK, I study how AI is reshaping the way organizations build capability at scale. Not the hype. The real patterns, the hard questions, and what it actually takes to make AI work for learning.
I hold a PhD in Mobile Learning from Lancaster University, UK, and an MBA from the Birla Institute of Technology, India. But what shapes my thinking most is 25 years of working with enterprise L&D teams on the ground.
If you are responsible for building workforce capability in a large organization, you'll find research, perspectives, and strategies here that cut through the AI noise and help you make smarter decisions for your learners and your business.
