Blending Education and Technology: Finding Talent That Can Do Both

BANGALORE, India - Sept. 17, 2025 - PRLog -- As India's EdTech sector continues to grow, one of the biggest challenges companies face is finding talent that can seamlessly blend expertise in both education and technology. With hybrid skills becoming the backbone of sustainable growth, the focus is shifting from hiring just teachers and developers to building multidisciplinary teams that can innovate, scale, and deliver meaningful impact.

"EdTech companies today need professionals who can think like educators while executing like technologists. It's no longer about choosing one over the other—it's about finding the right balance," said Pallavi Goyal, VP – Operations at SilverPeople.

The demand for such professionals is accelerating as EdTech firms look to:

• Develop engaging digital learning platforms that require knowledge of pedagogy and user experience.
• Leverage AI and analytics to personalize learning journeys while ensuring measurable outcomes.
• Navigate regulations and compliance in education while scaling technology solutions.
• Build leadership pipelines that can connect education vision with sustainable business models.

This new wave of talent requirements mirrors trends seen in fintech, where blending financial and technological expertise is equally critical. For EdTech, hiring the right talent means going beyond conventional recruitment strategies and tapping into specialized consulting partners who understand the nuances of the industry.

"Finding such hybrid talent requires deep networks, industry insight, and the ability to map candidates who may not fit into traditional hiring boxes. At SilverPeople, https://www.silverpeople.in/ we've seen firsthand how the right mix of skills can unlock transformational growth for EdTech companies," added Pallavi Goyal.

As India cements its place as a global EdTech hub, bridging the talent gap between education and technology will be key to building future-ready teams and sustaining long-term innovation.
