To drive systemic transformation across India's skilling ecosystem — by connecting policy, implementation, and evidence in a way no single institution currently does.
Strategic Approach: Three Pillars
Pillar 1: Build the Evidence Base
Generate the research, data, and analysis needed to understand what is broken and what works. Address the Skills Gap through evidence-based pilot interventions, assessment reform, and trainer quality upgrades. Strengthen the regulator for assessment reform.
Pillar 2: Strengthen Core Institutions
Work within and alongside existing systems — government, ITIs, SSCs, regulators — to build their capacity to respond to market demand. Enable work experience through industry-responsive apprenticeship pathways and on-the-job training (WILP/AEDP).
Pillar 3: Scale High-Impact Programmes
Once validated, push reforms into policy and scale through government systems. Unlock data through research and demand visibility systems.
Goals
Every young Indian has access to quality, market-relevant skilling
Labour market demand is systematically translated into training and skilling decisions
Employers can hire with confidence from a credentialed, job-ready talent pool
India's apprenticeship ecosystem is unified, accessible, and at 2–5% workforce participation (vs. 0.2% today)
A real-time labour market intelligence system informs national, state, and district skilling plans
