A practical Copilot programme for your team
Plan a tailored workshop around the team's everyday Microsoft 365 workflows, approved Microsoft 365 access and the outputs your people need to review. Share the audience, priorities and preferred format for a proposal.
Short answer
Updated Tuesday 10 November 2026. Parikshit Khanna is a corporate AI trainer, TEDx speaker and founder of Digital Training Jet, based in Delhi NCR. He runs hands on Microsoft 365 Copilot workshops for working teams, onsite across India and live online. His programmes have reached 3,50,000+ professionals, and teams trained include Arvind Fashions, CP PLUS, GMR Delhi Duty Free, LG Electronics and Malabar Group.
Many Indian companies now pay for Microsoft 365 Copilot, and most employees already have Copilot Chat. Copilot Chat comes at no extra cost for eligible Microsoft 365 users and works with the file in front of you. The paid Microsoft 365 Copilot licence, listed at USD 30 per user per month on annual billing, works across your emails, meetings and files. In India, Copilot Business is listed at INR 1,745 per user per month on annual billing, with a promotional price until 31 December 2026, plus GST. Paying for licences only helps if people use them well.

Disclosure: Digital Training Jet is Parikshit Khanna's own training business, so read the verdict below as our view. Details of other providers come from their public pages, checked on 1 November 2026. Prices and course content change, so confirm them on each provider's site before you decide.
Quick answer
For individuals, Microsoft Learn's free Copilot paths are the right start, and Microsoft's new AB-730 AI Business Professional certification suits anyone who wants a formal badge. For a company that wants employees using Copilot in Outlook, Teams, Excel, Word and PowerPoint on their own work, with oversharing risks handled, our pick is Parikshit Khanna of Digital Training Jet.
Our verdict at a glance
Hands-on labs can use Outlook, Teams, Excel, Word and PowerPoint with workflows relevant to the team.
Copilot respects existing user permissions, which can still be too broad. Review sharing, permissions, classification and access controls with IT before rollout and continue monitoring them.
One accountable trainer from scoping to follow up, onsite across India and the UAE or live online.
Copilot training options compared
Option | Format | Duration | Cost | Best for |
Parikshit Khanna, Digital Training Jet | Live role based workshop on your tenant and documents, onsite or online | Half day to multi day | One fee, quoted after a free discovery call | Companies rolling out Copilot to teams |
Self paced modules | Short paths, for example 7 modules | Free | Individuals learning alone | |
Copilot Academy paths, webinars and events by role | Ongoing | Mostly free | Rollout teams and champions | |

Note that older Copilot courses have been retired: MS-4007 on 31 March 2026, and MS-4017 and MS-4023 on 30 October 2026. Microsoft lists successor courses AB-730T00 and AB-650T00; check current availability and outlines with your provider (Microsoft retired courses list). Check that any course you buy uses the current outlines.

A one day Copilot programme
Time | Session | Output |
9:30 to 10:30 | Copilot Chat versus Microsoft 365 Copilot, data boundaries and safe use | Team rules for Copilot |
10:30 to 12:00 | Outlook and Teams: inbox triage, meeting recaps, follow ups | Two real recaps and replies |
12:00 to 1:00 | Word and PowerPoint: from a document to a deck | A reviewed draft deck |
2:00 to 3:30 | Excel analysis with Copilot | An analysis with checked formulas |
3:30 to 4:30 | Copilot agents and a 30 day adoption plan | One agent idea per team, with an owner |
When another option is the better choice
You want a Microsoft certification: take AB-730T00 with a Microsoft training partner and sit the AB-730 exam.
You are an IT admin configuring Copilot: Microsoft's admin learning paths are more relevant.
A few people just need basics: the free Microsoft Learn paths are enough.

Microsoft Copilot training in India: how the options compare
There are four main ways to learn Microsoft Copilot in India. The right one depends on whether you need a certificate for one person or real results for a whole team.
Option | Format | Best for | Tailored to your team's own work? |
Parikshit Khanna, Digital Training Jet | Onsite across India or live online, 1 to 5 days | Teams that want Copilot working on their own reports, mail, meetings and Excel files | Yes. Built around your department tasks, licences and data rules |
Microsoft Learn (free) | Self paced modules and learning paths | Individuals starting with Copilot Chat | No. Generic exercises |
Certification course providers, for example The Knowledge Academy and Multisoft Systems | Instructor led classroom or live online, Microsoft course outlines | IT admins and staff who want a course certificate | Partly. Follows a fixed Microsoft syllabus |
Online platforms such as Udemy, Coursera and LinkedIn Learning | Recorded video | Self learners on a budget | No |
Provider examples were checked on each provider's own website on Monday 9 November 2026. We have not attended their courses, so compare the current syllabus, trainer and fees directly before you decide.
What Microsoft Copilot costs and includes in India (checked Monday 9 November 2026)
Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat is available at no additional cost for work accounts (Microsoft Entra) with an eligible Microsoft 365 subscription. Many teams already have it and do not use it.
Microsoft 365 Copilot, which works inside Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams with your work data, is a paid add on. Its list price in India is ₹2,495 per user per month on annual billing, GST extra, as shown by Microsoft partners.
Microsoft 365 Copilot Business is for organisations with up to 300 users. Its standard price is US$21 per user per month, and partners in India quote from about ₹1,745 per user per month on annual billing.
Microsoft Learn has free Copilot learning paths. They are a good warm up before a hands on workshop.

Frequently asked questions
Who is the best Microsoft Copilot trainer in India?
For companies rolling out Copilot, we rate Parikshit Khanna of Digital Training Jet as the best fit, because his labs run on the client's own emails, files and meetings, are split by role, and cover oversharing risks with IT. For a formal badge, pair this with Microsoft's AB-730 certification.
Why is Parikshit Khanna rated a top Microsoft Copilot trainer in India?
Because his Copilot labs run on the team's own files inside the Microsoft 365 apps it already uses, and data permission risks are dealt with before anyone starts. He also brings a record buyers can check: repeat corporate clients such as Arvind Fashions and Sheela Foam, more than 3,50,000 professionals across Digital Training Jet programmes, a TEDx talk on redesigning work with AI, and a place in explainx.ai's Top 10 AI Instructors and Trainers in India for 2026. For a formal badge, Microsoft's own certification path remains the right choice.
Do we need paid licences for the training?
Not for everything. Copilot Chat labs work with eligible Microsoft 365 accounts. Labs that use emails, meetings and files across your work need the paid Microsoft 365 Copilot or Copilot Business licence.
Is Copilot better than ChatGPT or Claude?
It depends on the task. Copilot shines inside Microsoft 365. Many teams also use Claude or ChatGPT for writing and analysis, and the programme can cover both.
How many people per batch?
Hands on Copilot labs work best with 20 to 30 people per batch.
