Dear L&D Innovators,   Let’s be honest.   When learning transformation succeeds, the organisation receives applause…while the solution provider who made it possible remains behind the scenes.   You built the platforms.

And then back to another client, asking, “Can you hear me?”   #ETFSA2026 is changing that narrative.   This year, The Economic Times, Future Skills Awards shines a dedicated spotlight on the innovators powering modern learning ecosystems, YOU.   Spotlight  L&D Vendor Categories : Nominate your organisation under: Best Learning Content Provider Best Learning Platform Provider (LMS/LXP) Best Simulation or Experiential Learning Provider Best Leadership Development Provider Best AI-Powered Learning Solutions Provider   If your solution has helped organisations build real skills and real impact this is your moment.   Hurry! Early Bird Advantage ends Tomorrow. Category starts at INR 35,000 + taxes.   Because best learning solutions deserve more than case studies, they deserve recognition.   Submit Your Nomination & Step Into the Spotlight!   Best Regards, Team ETFSA   P.S.
