Yoodli Named a 2026 Top 20 Experiential Learning Technologies Company by Training Industry

We’re proud to share that Yoodli has been named to Training Industry’s 2026 Top 20 Experiential Learning Technologies Companies list.

This is Yoodli’s second Training Industry Top 20 recognition this year. In June, Training Industry also named Yoodli to its 2026 Top 20 AI Coaching and Learner Support Tools Companies list.

Training Industry is the leading research resource for corporate learning leaders. Moreover, its annual Top 20 lists are among the most trusted benchmarks L&D buyers use when evaluating experiential learning technologies. Training Industry evaluates companies on the quality of their capabilities and analytics, their market presence and innovation, the strength of their client relationships, and their business growth.

For our team, this recognition reflects what we set out to build: a skills readiness platform where people don’t just learn about high-stakes conversations. They practice them.

Why teams are investing in experiential learning

Most workplace training asks people to watch, read, and click through modules. Then, they perform under pressure for the first time in front of a real customer, patient, or student. Experiential learning takes a different approach. Instead, it gives people a safe, realistic environment to rehearse the conversations that matter, like sales calls, difficult feedback, and patient interactions.

With Yoodli’s AI roleplays, learners practice against lifelike AI personas tailored to their organization’s real scenarios. They get instant, judgment-free feedback on what they said and how they said it. Then, they repeat until the skills stick. Meanwhile, L&D and enablement leaders get analytics that show skills readiness across entire teams. As a result, they gain a new layer of insight alongside the metrics they already track.

Built for organizations, proven at scale

This recognition also belongs to the enterprises, higher education institutions, and training partners who bring Yoodli into their programs. (For training and coaching companies evaluating platforms, our guide to choosing an AI roleplay partner covers what to look for.) Their results speak for themselves, from faster ramp times to measurable gains in learner confidence and performance. In fact, many of our customers’ programs have earned their own industry recognition this year. We’ll share more of those stories in the coming weeks.

"“Most training ends the moment the module does. People learn a concept, then they’re on their own when it counts. We built Yoodli so employees can rehearse realistic conversations until the skill feels natural, so what they learned shows up when it matters. This recognition from the Training Industry tells us that’s where the industry is headed,” said Varun Puri, Co-founder & CEO of Yoodli."

"“Our customers want confidence that their people are ready, and that the training they invest in translates into real conversations with real customers. Practice is how you get there. Seeing that approach recognized alongside the best experiential learning technologies in the industry means a lot to our team,” added Esha Joshi, Co-founder & President."
