LONDON, Feb. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Pearson (FTSE: PSON.L), the world’s lifelong learning company, and Amazon Web Services, Inc.

As AI transforms education and the world of work, improving people’s ability to learn is vital for an adaptive workforce primed for continual upskilling, career pivots, and personal career fulfillment. Recent Pearson research finds that inefficient career transitions and learning gaps are costing the U.S. economy $1.1 trillion annually. Through this collaboration, AWS, the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud, and Pearson will advance the adoption of technology-driven education, with the objective of making learning more effective, efficient, and accessible.

Building on their 13-year collaboration, AWS will continue to serve as a Pearson strategic AI and cloud provider, advancing infrastructure and AI capabilities designed to enable Pearson to enhance and scale its products and services, especially in its higher education footprint.  AWS will support Pearson’s initiatives to elevate the learner and educator experience across its portfolio with personalized learning, real-time insights, and increased accessibility.

Pearson and AWS will collaborate in several ways:

  • Many of Pearson’s higher education products, used by student across international and U.S. higher education institutions, are built on AWS. Pearson will increase its use of AWS’s highly performant cloud infrastructure and Amazon Bedrock to improve the learning experience across higher education, virtual schools, and English-language learning products. By using Amazon Bedrock with Pearson expertise and data sets, this collaboration aims to enhance and expand Pearson’s courseware and content experience; provide educators with AI-powered lesson generation, assessments and insights; and enable faster, more visually rich content generation.

     
  • AWS and Amazon will extend their collaboration with Pearson to support workforce skilling efforts. Currently, Amazon and AWS benefit from GEDWorks, an employer-sponsored program that helps individuals earn their GED credential, and Credly by Pearson, the company’s digital credential platform.

     
  • AWS will continue its collaboration with Pearson VUE, which delivers AWS certifications for hundreds of thousands of cloud technology professionals annually.

     
  • AWS and Amazon will continue to expand their enterprise learning relationship with Pearson over the life of the agreement.

     
  • AWS and Pearson will jointly innovate on additional transformative learning solutions, with the goal of enhancing experiences and outcomes for learners in the areas of clinical and professional assessments, enterprise learning, and English Language Learning.

Pearson CEO Omar Abbosh said, “As technology transforms the way we learn, improving people’s ability to learn is vital for an adaptive workforce. With the help of AWS, Pearson will be able to get there faster, scale personalized learning, and create more access to AI tools for learners and educators. This partnership brings together two respected and leading companies in the fields of technology and learning. Together, we can reach many more learners and provide them with the tools they need to succeed and realise the life they imagine for themselves.”

“We’re excited to expand our long-standing collaboration with Pearson to unlock the power of cloud and AI for learners around the world,” said Matt Garman, CEO at AWS. “Together with Pearson, we will leverage the global scale and AI capabilities of AWS to enable innovative new learning experiences that are personalized and accessible for all.”

This collaboration is yet another step towards fulfilling Pearson’s commitment to accelerate the use of AI across its products and sharpen its focus on serving the enterprise learning market. Together, AWS and Pearson will help empower people and organizations to develop future-ready skills and unlock potential in a rapidly evolving world.

SPJIMR holds Annual Convocation 2025 with HUL’s Nitin Paranjpe as Chief Guest

802 graduates embark on a journey to lead with integrity, passion, and a growth mindset

MUMBAI, India, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan’s S.P. Jain Institute of Management and Research, one of India’s leading business schools, hosted its Annual Convocation 2025 at its Mumbai campus on Saturday, 17 May. The event celebrated the achievements of over 800 graduating participants from across the Institute’s full-time and modular postgraduate programmes, including two (2) Fellow Programme in Management (FPM) scholars.

The Convocation was graced by Mr. Nitin Paranjpe, Non-Executive Chairman of Hindustan Unilever, as Chief Guest. Also, present were Mr. Deepak Parekh, Chair of SPJIMR’s Governing Council; Dr. Varun Nagaraj, Dean, SPJIMR; faculty and staff; and family members of the graduating participants.

Delivering the Convocation Address, Mr. Nitin Paranjpe drew upon his decades of global business experience to urge the graduating cohort to lead with purpose, resilience, and a commitment to continuous growth. Speaking of India’s bold aspiration to become a Viksit Bharat by 2047, he highlighted the need for a new kind of leadership—one that is ethical, compassionate, and driven by the common good.

Mr. Paranjpe shared three powerful life lessons drawn from his personal and professional journey: “There’s no such thing as a good job or a bad one — it’s the mindset you bring that shapes your experience. The real joy, and the foundation for excellence, lies in loving what you do. Don’t chase being the best in the world — strive to be the best version of yourself. Continuous self-improvement is your right, your responsibility, and your greatest opportunity. Purpose is that inner force that fuels your energy and passion. When you find what truly drives you, hold on to it — it’s the most precious gift you’ll ever have.”

In his address, Dean Dr. Varun Nagaraj shared a candid reflection on the challenges graduates face in an uncertain world—geopolitical tensions and the dual promise and peril of AI. He urged them to enter this complex landscape with confidence, guided by SPJIMR’s mission of value-based growth and wise innovation.

He reaffirmed SPJIMR’s commitment to nurturing leaders who combine knowledge with empathy and impact with purpose: “Tomorrow you will be a different and better person than today. Embrace a growth mindset—remember, you are a work in progress, not a finished product. The world offers no ready-made answers; solutions come only through hard work and wise innovation.”

Sixteen (16) top achievers across programmes were presented with Scholastic Medals by Chief Guest Mr. Nitin Paranjape, and 50 recipients from the Dean’s Honour List received their commendation certificates from the Dean. 

Diplomas were conferred across the Institute’s full-time and modular programmes, including the Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM), Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGPM), PGDM (Business Management), Post Graduate Executive Management Programme (PGEMP), Post Graduate Programme in Development Management (PGPDM), Post Graduate Programme in General Management (PGPGM), and Post Graduate Programme in Marketing & Business Management (PGPMBM).

The Convocation ceremony concluded with the traditional hat throw, celebrating the graduates’ journey and the beginning of their next chapter as responsible, value-based leaders.
