Automotive startup Cars24 has eliminated traditional levels, grades and job titles across the organisation, replacing them with a new operating philosophy called Flatland. The change, which dismantles corporate hierarchies, is rooted in the belief that AI has rewritten the economics of organisations. Everyone in the company now shares a single identity: Builder.

Flatland goes far beyond removing titles, says the company. It is a complete redesign of how the company makes decisions, earns authority, evolves careers and gets work done. People are no longer defined by organisational rank, but by the problems they own and the outcomes they create.

“Hierarchy was one of humanity’s greatest inventions,” said Vikram Chopra, Builder at Cars24. “It helped organisations scale up when information was scarce. AI changes that equation. The role of an organisation is no longer to move decisions up and down layers. It’s to help exceptional people solve exceptional problems together. Flatland is our attempt to build an organisation for that reality.”

Digital skilling firm Simplilearn has launched SkillUp, an AI-first skilling library designed to make upskilling more personalised and accessible for both individual learners and enterprises. At the centre of the platform is ALBY, an AI mentor that recommends tailored learning goals, supports hands-on projects, and assists with interview preparation. While individual learners get select free courses, enterprise teams get an extensive catalogue of expert-led courses and live sessions. Additionally, enterprise teams get robust admin controls, reporting dashboards, and a platform that integrates easily with the organisation’s existing learning stack. It includes a dedicated customer success manager.
