Lucknow, September 7, 2026: Duolingo, the world’s leading mobile learning platform, has partnered with Bharti Airtel, one of India’s largest telecommunications service providers, to offer 12 months of Super Duolingo at no additional cost to eligible Airtel subscribers. The partnership aims to make premium digital language learning more accessible to millions of users across India.
Duolingo is a popular language-learning platform with a mission to make high-quality education accessible to everyone. Its app offers courses in more than 40 languages, combining bite-sized lessons, gamification, personalised learning and AI-powered features to make learning engaging and effective. In addition to languages, users can also learn Chess, Math and Music through the platform.
Premium, Ad-Free Learning Experience
Through the partnership, eligible Airtel customers will get access to the premium Super Duolingo experience, which includes an ad-free learning environment, unlimited energy, personalised exercises, mistake reviews and AI-powered real-time speaking practice.
The offering is designed to help users develop consistent learning habits while giving them greater flexibility to practise and review what they have learned.
AI-Powered Speaking Practice
One of the key features of Super Duolingo is AI-powered conversation and speaking practice. The feature allows learners to practise speaking in real time, helping them build confidence and move beyond simply completing lessons.
With personalised exercises and mistake reviews, learners can identify areas that need improvement and continue practising based on their individual learning needs.
Available Across Mobile, Wi-Fi and DTH
The Super Duolingo offer is available to eligible Airtel customers across mobile, Wi-Fi and DTH services. Customers can claim the benefit through the Airtel App without providing credit card or other payment details at the time of redemption.
According to Airtel’s terms, the offer can be redeemed between September 3 and December 2, 2026. Each eligible subscriber can redeem the offer once, while the 12-month validity begins from the date the benefit is successfully claimed. The subscription does not automatically renew after the promotional period.
Rashi Dhanani on the Partnership
Commenting on the partnership, Rashi Dhanani, Head of Business Development, India, Duolingo, said India is one of the company’s most important markets, with growing demand for language learning among students, professionals and an increasingly global workforce.
She said the partnership with Airtel would bring Super Duolingo to a wider audience and give learners across India access to an enhanced learning experience, while providing more opportunities to stay motivated and make consistent progress.
Expanding Language Learning in India
Duolingo is also expanding its offering for Indian learners. The platform has recently launched “Learn English from Punjabi,” making English learning more accessible to Punjabi speakers. The new course adds to Duolingo’s growing portfolio for Indian language speakers, including courses associated with Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, Tamil and Urdu.
The expansion reflects Duolingo’s focus on developing learning experiences that cater to India’s diverse linguistic landscape and allow more users to learn through languages they are comfortable with.
Making Language Learning More Accessible
With Airtel’s extensive customer base and Duolingo’s digital learning platform, the partnership is expected to expand access to premium language-learning tools across India. Airtel currently has a customer base of around 376 million subscribers, making the collaboration one of the significant distribution partnerships for Duolingo in the Indian market.
Super Duolingo is designed to encourage regular practice and real-world language use, enabling learners to spend more time actively using the language rather than simply completing lessons.
Note: Customer benefits are based on the current Super Duolingo subscription and are valid for one year. Terms and conditions apply.
