Samsung Brings Galaxy Empowered to Mumbai, Trains Teachers in AI, Digital Tools
After Delhi success, Samsung expands its teacher upskilling programme to Mumbai, aiming to empower 20,000 educators by 2025
Samsung, India’s largest consumer electronics brand, on Thursday launched the Mumbai chapter of its flagship initiative Galaxy empowered, aimed at transforming classrooms by upskilling teachers, principals, and administrators with digital tools and modern teaching methods.
Following its successful rollout in New Delhi, where it reached 250 schools and certified over 2,700 teachers, the programme has now expanded to Mumbai—India’s financial and educational hub. The launch event saw participation from more than 350 teachers and school leaders representing 250 schools across Maharashtra and neighbouring states.
The event was attended by Maharashtra Skill Development Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha, India’s Permanent Representative to UNESCO Vishal V. Sharma, and CBSE Secretary Himanshu Gupta, alongside senior Samsung executives and education experts.
“Mumbai represents the spirit of innovation in Indian education. With Galaxy empowered, we are equipping educators with the tools they need to engage students and drive meaningful change. Our vision is to empower 20,000 teachers by 2025, and Mumbai is a crucial milestone in that journey,” said Raju Pullan, Senior Vice President, MX Business, Samsung India.
Minister Lodha lauded the initiative, calling it a step towards building a “future-ready” nation, while Sharma highlighted its alignment with UNESCO’s SDG4 goals under Education 2030. Gupta stressed the importance of AI-enabled classrooms and praised Samsung’s efforts to empower teachers.
Built on three pillars—AI & technology upskilling, experiential learning with certification, and peer networking—the programme offers free access to curated workshops, mentorship, and exclusive Samsung offers on devices.
“Through Galaxy empowered, we are helping teachers integrate AI and technology into their lessons, enhance engagement, and prepare classrooms for tomorrow. It is not just training—it is a movement,” said Aditya Babbar, Vice President, MX Business, Samsung India.
