India is undergoing rapid industrialisation and less than 5% of the workforce required to match the pace of development is skilled. This is highly detrimental for the youth who account for nearly 83% of India’s unemployed workforce.
For unskilled youth, this means limited technical knowledge and skills becoming barriers to career advancement and income growth. These youth are often unable to negotiate better salaries for want of skills, technical knowledge, and work experience. Adjusting to the workplace is a huge challenge as well due to a lack of industrial exposure and an inability to keep up with the workload at the level of efficiency expected. In rural areas, there is a massive uprooting of the youth from their native villages with forced migration in search of better livelihoods. Not only does this cause a strain on resources of urban areas, but also impedes the development of villages. Additionally, with a higher living cost associated with living in urban areas, the youth are trapped in a vicious cycle of poverty trying to make ends meet.
On the other hand, industries too face extreme challenges in terms of engaging workforces that meet their skill requirements. The lack of skilled labour impacts the quality of work and sees low levels of employee retention. They are forced to accept lower standards of productivity or else go through repeated placement processes.
We believe that skill development initiatives can have an immense and immediate impact on the economic struggles of our country’s youth. Positioning underserved communities at the forefront of these developmental initiatives ensures that they benefit from the country’s economic progress and lead the way towards achieving it.

To date, our skilling and upskilling programmes have impacted nearly 20,000 lives. Our Courses are tailored to the specific rural and tribal communities we work with. Our approach is two-sided, on the one hand, we approach communities to understand the interest areas and courses that have the highest demand, and on the other hand, we approach nearby industries and industrial clusters to gauge the current requirements and vacancies to ensure there is a direct connection between the workforce we train and the skill sets required at workplaces where they would be placed.

We provide end-to-end community-based training from community mobilisation and screening to post-training certification, placement, and handholding support. Ensuring the community is invested in the journey of the participants encourages these participants to also contribute to community-development activities after completing their skilling courses.
To ensure maximum advantage to our participants, our courses are timed around our participants’ work schedules so they can learn while continuing their day jobs as many of them work as daily wage workers.

Our skilling model is built around real-world learning and community connection. We have two types of training programmes - community-based and center-based - to make quality skills accessible to everyone.Every course is led by professionals who actually work in the industry, so participants learn directly from real experiences, not just textbooks. Along with technical know-how, we focus on employability skills li ke communication, teamwork, and problem-solving — the things that truly help people shine at work.
























What makes our model unique is how everything connects. We work with industries to use their infrastructure and ensure job placements, link participants to Government schemes, and help them access credit support to start their own ventures. With the support of local leaders and community networks, our programmes go beyond training by paving a sustainable way forward.
