It has an overarching objective of developing industry & employment ready students and next generation teachers, through initiatives such as the Learnathon that seek to harness the potential of students through quality-focus skill development via online learning. 

India has the unique advantage of having the world’s youngest workforce however as per the India Skills Report released in early January this year, only 49.5 per cent of graduated were found to be employable. These findings shine a spotlight on the importance of focusing attention towards nurturing the country’s students’ skill quotient through customised and specialised learning opportunities.
