  • SAP India and Microsoft announced the launch of TechSaksham in August 2021, a collaborative skilling programme targeted at encouraging young women (from underserved areas) to pursue professions in technology. As a result of this agreement, 62,000 female students will be trained in artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, web design, and digital marketing.
  • Infosys has developed a talent marketplace called FLUID to help their employees reskill and earn a skill tag that can be used to identify expertise in various new-age technologies.
  • IBM is beginning to provide employment skills to 30 million individuals around the world by 2030 to improve access to AI, quantum computing, blockchain, analytics, and cybersecurity, among other fields.

  • Future Skills PRIME, a first-of-its-kind initiative by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and NASSCOM.
