By the numbers: Inside Dutch Bros’ growth strategy

Artificial intelligence is transitioning from experimental use to essential workplace skill. This shift has given rise to AI-first education startups like Be10x, founded in 2023 by IIT Kharagpur alumni Aditya Goenka and Aditya Kachave. The startup's mission is to teach professionals how to integrate AI into their daily workflows, rather than simply learning the technology.

Be10x has trained over five million learners through more than 800 live workshops, maintaining a 4.9 average rating. The company's long-term goal is to educate 100 million individuals in AI while accelerating global AI adoption.

Goenka explains that Be10x measures success by outcomes, including salary increases, job promotions, and job transitions. Success stories include 170% salary hikes after landing AI-focused roles, 55% hikes by moving from startups to MNCs, and 25% hikes after overcoming career setbacks. Across these stories, professionals employ AI to automate tasks, improve presentations, generate documentation, and enhance interviews. The common denominator is the effective use of AI as a productivity multiplier.

Be10x's platform offers AI certification programs, workflow playbooks, prompt libraries, and templates designed to help professionals apply AI immediately. The company has partnered with Google Gemini, Wispr Flow, Make.com, and other global AI platforms to provide practical, job-ready skills. As generative AI becomes integral to workplaces, Be10x plans to expand its AI Career Accelerator with industry-specific workflows and certification programs.

This expansion aims to help professionals across experience levels leverage AI for real-world challenges, improve productivity, and unlock better career opportunities.
