In a strategic move to bolster India’s 5G ecosystem, Qualcomm is offering its premium 5G training program at no cost to industry professionals across the nation. The initiative, launched in celebration of India’s Independence Day, is a limited-time opportunity available until August 18.
The Qualcomm Academy 5G University Program, traditionally designed for university students, is now accessible to working professionals who would normally pay Rs 41,000 for this in-depth training.
“5G is transforming key industries worldwide and in India, so it is important to understand how 5G technology works and how it can be applied to create India-specific use cases across the professional landscape,” Savi Soin, Senior Vice President and President of Qualcomm India said in a prepared statement sent over email. He further emphasised the significance of this program in empowering Indian professionals to harness 5G technology, thereby positioning India as a global leader in 5G innovation.

The program, which comprises eight hours of online and self-paced learning, is taught by industry-leading engineers from Qualcomm Technologies. It covers essential aspects of 5G technology, including its operational mechanics, various applications, and potential use cases. This training is particularly beneficial for engineers, business professionals, and students eager to enhance their understanding of 5G and its transformative potential, Qualcomm claims.
Vikram Malhotra, Senior Director of Program Management at Qualcomm Technologies and head of Qualcomm Academy, highlighted the program’s goal to upskill individuals in the rapidly evolving fields of 5G and AI. “We are excited to see people across India take advantage of this unique upskilling opportunity and grow their professional portfolios,” Malhotra said.
Qualcomm Academy, the educational wing of Qualcomm Technologies, offers a broad spectrum of training programs in AI, 5G, and other advanced technologies to students, professionals, and corporations globally.
The announcement comes only days after the launch of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 processor designed to bring 5G connectivity to smartphones below Rs 10,000, thereby increasing 5G penetration among India’s masses.
