Towards ‘Make in India’
“India’s vision of ‘Make in India’ leading to Atmanirbhar Bharat can be a reality only if India leverages its demographic dividend. With CareerLabs we strongly intend to bridge this supply-demand gap and enable 1 million students to learn and earn better by providing everyone a chance to achieve a successful career, thereby creating a motivated workforce. We are investing in building the right Machine Learning Models with the focus on identifying the right career tracks for students and incorporating the right engagement activities, resulting in successful outcomes for students,” PN Santosh, Co-Founder & CEO of CareerLabs, said.
