The problem
Students in smaller rural communities may have limited access to digital skills, technology and pathways into skilled employment.
Why I built it
I want to help people move beyond limited digital access by giving them practical skills that can translate into income, experience and better employment opportunities.
The idea
Recruit a small first cohort, provide approximately one month of practical digital and AI training, then connect participants with internships and other work opportunities where they can earn money and build a portfolio.
My role
Co-founder / project lead with my dad; currently responsible for developing the concept and planning the first cohort.
How I approached it
- Recruit around 20 students from rural communities in Rajasthan.
- Train them in basic AI, software and digital platforms over one month.
- Connect them with internships and other real opportunities to gain experience, earn money and become more employable.
What got in the way
Building a model that is practical for students with limited digital exposure while ensuring that training genuinely leads to useful opportunities.
What happened
Currently in planning; first cohort and implementation model are being developed.
Why it matters
The long-term goal is to improve digital literacy, employability, income opportunities and access to skilled work.
