Company overview

Airblack is an Indian online skilling and vocational education platform that empowers individuals—especially women—to build careers and become micro‑entrepreneurs in creative and service sectors like beauty, makeup, hairstyling, nail art, and culinary arts through live interactive courses taught by industry practitioners. Founded in 2019, the company initially started in travel commerce but pivoted during the pandemic to focus on skill‑based live learning where students learn together with experts in real time using a “Do‑It‑Together (DIT)” model, gaining practical experience and business guidance to launch freelance, salon, or other entrepreneurial ventures. Since then, Airblack has grown significantly with tens of thousands of learners from hundreds of cities across India and the UAE, and has raised funding from prominent investors to expand its programs, hybrid learning centers, and impact on livelihood creation.
