IRVINE, CA – March, 17, 2025 – EON Reality, the global leader in AI-assisted Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality-based knowledge transfer for industry and education, proudly unveils its groundbreaking AI-Powered Entrepreneur Guide Application, a cornerstone of the newly launched EON AI² Income Academy Program in India. This innovative platform harnesses Artificial Intelligence and a structured 8-step entrepreneurial process to transform aspiring entrepreneurs into creators of market-ready solutions, addressing critical global challenges with a focus on empowering India’s youth. With over 25 years of expertise in Extended Reality (XR) and AI, EON Reality is redefining how entrepreneurial education is delivered, making it accessible, practical, and impactful worldwide.

Why: Addressing a Dual Global Challenge with Local Relevance

The why behind this application stems from a pressing global and local need. Automation threatens to displace up to 300 million workers globally, creating what experts call a “white-collar recession,” while the demand for skilled AI professionals surges. In India, this duality is stark: AI is projected to add over $500 billion to the economy by 2025, generating nearly 20 million jobs, yet millions of youth and displaced workers risk being left behind without the right skills. EON Reality recognized this as an opportunity to bridge the skills gap, empower individuals to innovate, and turn challenges into economic opportunities.

The EON AI² Income Academy Program, launched in New Delhi on March 17, 2025, targets unemployed youth and displaced workers, offering a pathway to immediate income generation through entrepreneurship. The AI-Powered Entrepreneur Guide Application is the engine of this initiative, providing a structured, AI-supported framework that equips users to create businesses tailored to local needs—whether revitalizing traditional crafts, enhancing rural employment, or solving community-specific problems.
