That’s where nhance comes in – it makes learning easy, fun and effective,” said Mohan Lakhamraju. “In today’s fast-‐moving global business landscape where learning is a must to keep up, interactive, bite-‐sized learning platforms like nhance can help professionals learn the skills they need to advance in their career.”
