As a learning organization with our PayUneers at the heart of everything we do – Learning & Development plays a major role in PayU.
The future of work depends on the ever-growing importance of L&D for employees and employers alike. At PayU, learning goes past being perceived as merely a retention perk; it is seen and acted upon as the key to our business operations. In today’s agile world of rapid transformation, we foster a culture of continuous learning, empowering our PayUneers and the entire organization to welcome and embrace change. Our continuous learning culture thrives on our main values, “ownership” and “courage,” as it takes the intrinsic drive and boldness to push boundaries – whether personal or representing the organizational status quo.
It is paramount for us to see our PayUneers empowered, encouraged, and inspired to contribute their best efforts to meet not only our goals as an organization but also their personal and career growth goals. We truly believe in the power of lifelong learning; we see it as part of our responsibility as an employer to provide top-notch training and learning opportunities. Via MyAcademy, our self-learning platform, we offer access to various courses. PayUneers can also upskill on more than ten prestigious e-learning partners such as Harvard Business Publishing, Coursera, Udacity, Udemy, and others. Since staying motivated can be tough even for the most eager learners, we have embodied our supportive team spirit into mentorship programs and knowledge-sharing groups.

We define targets that create value for our teams and for PayU. When we set goals we commit to them—and make a plan for their accomplishment. Objectives set a year in advance without regular review may become irrelevant due to changing priorities. That is why we emphasize quarterly OKRs and regular check-ins.
Our personal development is as unique as our personalities. Our objectives should reflect our strengths and interests, our values and way of doing things, the work that we love to do, and an indication of what we need to achieve our full potential in the future.
To ensure our PayUneers are best equipped for mastering their career path, as bold as it may be, we have recently launched MyAcademy 2.0. Our internal learning platform is powered by Degreed, an international leader in innovative upskilling.
Our mentorship programs are designed to help the next generation of leaders gain self-awareness and achieve their development goals by leveraging the depth of our current leadership’s institutional and business knowledge. A successful example of this is our GuruCool mentorship program in India.
Choose from a wide range of courses on our self-learning portal, free to access for all employees. Experience interactive learning through gamification, social, and peer learning.
Make the most of the courses and develop your skills. An essential part of being a PayUneer is being 100% informed on important matters, so some training sessions may be mandatory.
While Degreed’s AI solution ensures that you receive recommendations based on your skills, interests, and consumption, you can also access over ten prestigious e-learning partners to guarantee success.
Harvard Manage Mentor includes 18 modules that address critical management, with each online module including practical advice and tools you need to succeed. The solution offers some interactive exercises that help you prepare for real-world challenges.

This is currently the most prestigious training we offer, and most of our graduates report accelerating their professional lives thanks to acquiring new real-life skills. We focus our training portfolio with Udacity on three areas: AI, Data Science, and Management.
I don’t like to be bored. I try to learn something new every week. I work in the IT industry and IT is evolving pretty fast. I will be left behind if I don’t learn new tools. I am very glad I learned the Golang (programming language) and that I could organize my knowledge of some tools that I use.
Piotr Rychter, Systems Engineer
Learning new things gives me a feeling of accomplishment, which in turn boosts my confidence in my own capabilities. Also, I feel more ready to take on challenges and explore new business ventures. MyAcademy is a very good platform to learn new skills. I have learned many things and completed many courses such as Python, Excel, Six Sigma, AI, AML KYC, etc.
