Mariam Rangwala: Re-Architecting How India Learns at Work

In most organizations, learning still looks like a calendar invite, a deck of slides, and a hope that something sticks. Mariam Rangwala saw that gap early—and decided not to fix training, but to redesign capability itself.

Based in Ahmedabad, Mariam is the Founder of Splinter Learning Solutions and the mind behind Freelance Trainings, India’s first and fastest-growing learning & development marketplace. Her work sits at a rare intersection: leadership psychology, business reality, and how adults actually change behaviour at work.

“Learning should build judgement, not just skills — and confidence, not just content.”

That philosophy quietly powers everything she builds.

From Courses to Capability Systems

With over 15 years in leadership development, Mariam had a front-row seat to the same problem repeating across organizations:

• Great trainers were hard to find

• Learning budgets were under pressure

• Training outcomes were difficult to scale or sustain

Freelance Trainings was her answer—not as a content library, but as infrastructure.

The platform connects organizations directly with certified freelance trainers by skill, industry, location, and budget, while also giving trainers visibility, autonomy, and professionally designed, editable learning material.

Today, the marketplace includes:

• 10,000+ trainers & L&D professionals

• 150+ editable training toolkits

• 100+ projects delivered

• 50+ corporate and training partners

For companies, it cuts L&D costs by up to 30%.For trainers, it removes gatekeepers.

Why Leaders Trust Her Work

Mariam doesn’t treat learning as a support function. She partners closely with senior HR and L&D leaders who view capability as a strategic lever—something that shapes decision-making, leadership maturity, and long-term performance.

Her interventions blend:

• Leadership psychology

• Organizational context

• Experiential, blended, and digital formats

• Measurable business impact

Scale, for her, is a byproduct—not the goal.

Building the Infrastructure for Capability at Scale

As organizations grapple with rapid skill obsolescence, distributed teams, and shrinking L&D budgets, Freelance Trainings is emerging as the operating system for corporate learning in India—cost-efficient, human-centred, and context-aware.

Mariam Rangwala isn’t chasing the spotlight. She’s building trust, relevance, and long-term capability.

And in a crowded EdTech world, that may be the most enduring advantage of all.
